Higher sedentary time and lower physical activity (PA) are associated with a poor health-related quality of life (HRQoL) in children. The aims of this study were: (1) to analyze the sedentary time, objectively measured PA levels (light, moderate, vigorous, and moderate-to-vigorous physical activity (MVPA)), and HRQoL dimensions (physical well-being, emotional well-being, self-esteem, family, friends, school, and total score) in children; and (2) to examine the association between sedentary time, PA levels, and HRQoL in children separately by sex. A total of 459 children (8.4 ± 0.4 years old, 50.54% males) from 15 schools in Granada (Spain) participated in the study. A tri-axial accelerometer was used to measure PA levels in the children for 7 consecutive days. The Revidierter KINDer Lebensqualitätsfragebogen (KINDL-R) questionnaire was used to determine the children’s HRQoL dimensions. The results showed that males presented more minutes engaged in MVPA than females. Both sedentary time and PA levels were associated with self-esteem and total score (all p < 0.05). In males, moderate and vigorous PA levels were associated with higher HRQoL, whereas light PA was associated with higher HRQoL in females. Future studies should take into account the use of activities with difference intensities in order to increase HRQoL in males and females.

Abstract Background This study examined the criterion validity of the online Active Australia Survey, using accelerometry as the criterion, and whether self-report bias was related to level of activity, age, sex, education, body mass index and health-related quality of life. Methods The online Active Australia Survey was validated against the GENEActiv accelerometer as a direct measure of activity. Participants (n = 344) wore an accelerometer for 7 days, completed the Active Australia Survey, and reported their health and demographic characteristics. A Spearman’s rank coefficient examined the association between minutes of moderate-to-vigorous physical activity recorded on the Active Australia Survey and GENEActiv accelerometer. A Bland-Altman plot illustrated self-report bias (the difference between methods). Linear mixed effects modelling was used to examine whether participant factors predicted self-report bias. Results The association between moderate-to-vigorous physical activity reported on the online Active Australia Survey and accelerometer was significant (rs = .27, p < .001). Participants reported 4 fewer minutes per day on the Active Australia Survey than was recorded by accelerometry (95% limits of agreement −104 – 96 min) but the difference was not significant (t(343) = −1.40, p = .16). Self-report bias was negatively associated with minutes of accelerometer-recorded moderate-to-vigorous physical activity and positively associated with mental health-related quality of life. Conclusions The online Active Australia Survey showed limited criterion validity against accelerometry. Self-report bias was related to activity level and mental health-related quality of life. Caution is recommended when interpreting studies using the online Active Australia Survey.

Abstract Physical activity in children and adolescents is on a decline trend. To this end, we conducted a matched-pair randomized controlled trial to examine the effects of a 4-week STAR (School-based; Train-the-trainer; Accessibility of resources; Recreational) skipping programme. 1,386 schoolchildren from 20 primary and secondary schools were recruited. Schools were randomized into the experimental or wait-list control group. Participants self-reported their health-related quality of life using the KIDSCREEN-27. Accelerometers were used to measure the time a subgroup of participants (n = 480) spent in moderate-to-vigorous physical activity during school hours on five consecutive days. Measures were taken at pre- and post-test. At post-test, students in the experimental group, compared to those in the control group, engaged in less moderate-to-vigorous physical activity during school hours. Health-related quality of life from two groups of students was similar, but the experimental group reported higher levels of autonomy and parent relationships. Results suggested that although the intervention did not increase students’ physical activity levels, it slightly improved their health-related quality of life. Future studies should explore personal factors that might mediate the effect of the intervention.

Background: Self-reported moderate to vigorous physical activity (MVPA) has been associated with better health-related quality of life (HRQoL), however research on quantitative MVPA in relation to HRQoL has been limited. In addition, the association of PA with physical and mental health components of HRQoL has not been examined. Hypothesis: Higher accelerometer-measured MVPA will be associated with better mental and physical HRQoL. Methods: Cross-sectional data from 12,179 adults ages 18-74 in 2008-11, who participated in HCHS/SOL and had complete data on key study variables. MVPA (minutes/week), measured by accelerometer, was grouped into 4 levels: inactive, low, moderate, and high. HRQoL was assessed using the Short-Form 12 (SF-12) questionnaire; the SF-12 mental and physical component summary (MCS; PCS) scores were computed (standardized to general US population norms with mean of 50 and standard deviation of 10; higher scores indicate better HRQoL). Multivariable linear regression models were used to derive adjusted means with 95% confidence intervals (CI) and to assess linear trends. All models were adjusted for covariates. The analyses were weighted for the study design and non-response. Results: PCS adjusted mean scores ranged from 46.8 (CI: 44.9, 48.6) among inactive persons to 51.3 (CI: 50.8, 51.8) among those with high levels of MVPA (p trend <0.001). No significant differences in MCS scores were observed across MVPA levels (p = 0.64). Conclusion: MVPA was positively associated with better self-perceived physical health-related quality of life. Our findings align with studies examining self-reported MVPA and HRQoL. Future prospective studies should evaluate whether increasing MVPA can lead to improvements in HRQoL among the US Hispanic/Latino population.
