Overview
Objective: The aim of this longitudinal study will be to investigate the differences in 24-hour movement behaviour (24hMB) (i.e., sleep, sedentary behaviour (SB) and physical activity (PA)) in Czech children after their transition from kindergarten to primary school (or from first/second grade to upper grades of primary school) with respect to the socioeconomic background of families, the prevalence of overweight participants or participation in organised PA.
Methods: 24hMB will be monitored for seven days using ActiGraph accelerometers in families from urban and rural areas in the Bohemia, Moravia and Silesia regions, whose members completed the first phase of the study between March 2022 and May 2023. The 260 families who finished the first phase of the research provided their contact details in the family diary and have not ruled out the possibility of participating in the second phase in 2025/2026. The family diary will include information on daily bedtime and wake-up times, screen time, and participation in organised PA, as well as anthropometric data and family background information.
Results: The findings from the first phase of the research showed that a total of 25.9% of girls and 26.7% of boys met all three guidelines on sleep, PA and SB simultaneously, and 44.7% of girls and 46.1% of boys achieved at least a combination of two of the three guidelines. No differences were observed between gender, age, or body weight levels of the children. Maternal excess body weight significantly (p < 0.05) decreased the odds of children achieving at least two of the three guidelines, whereas parental higher education and maternal adherence to at least two of the three guidelines significantly (p < 0.05) increased the odds that children also complied with the guidelines. Children’s participation in organised PA significantly (p < 0.05) increased their chances of achieving at least two of the three 24hMB guidelines.
Conclusions: The first phase of the longitudinal research highlighted key family factors (parental education level, mother’s body weight, adherence to 24hMB guidelines, and support for children’s active participation in organised PA) that increase children’s chances of meeting guidelines for 24hMB.
