Abstract

Abstract Study aim: To examine the association between accelerometer-measured physical activity (PA) and balance performance among children with considering motor self-efficacy as a mediator. Material and methods: The present study employed a correlational-comparative approach. The present study applied a correlational-comparative approach. Eighty-two children (40 girls) of Tehran city, Iran in 2020 participated in this study (mean age of 9.82 ± 1.64 years). Physical activity was measured using the ActiGraph wGT3X-BT accelerometer. Dynamic balance test was used to collect balance performance. Motor self-efficacy was measured using a standard questionnaire. Results: On average, boys had higher moderate-to-vigorous PA (MVPA) than girls (47.28 vs. 36.74 minutes per day, respectively). MVPA was significantly and directly associated with children’s balance performance, and here, motor self-efficacy acted as a significant mediator. Conclusions: These findings underscore the need for targeted strategies and interventions for children, especially girls, to develop adequate levels of PA.

装置测量的身体活动与儿童平衡表现之间的关系:运动自我效能的中介作用

摘要:研究目的:以运动自我效能为中介，探讨儿童加速度计测量的身体活动(PA)与平衡表现之间的关系。材料和方法:本研究采用相关比较方法。本研究采用相关-比较方法。本研究于2020年在伊朗德黑兰市共有82名儿童(40名女孩)参加，平均年龄为9.82±1.64岁。使用ActiGraph wGT3X-BT加速度计测量身体活动。采用动平衡试验采集平衡性能。运动自我效能感采用标准问卷进行测量。结果:平均而言，男孩的中高强度PA (MVPA)高于女孩(47.28 vs 36.74分钟/天)。MVPA与儿童平衡表现有显著的直接关系，运动自我效能感在其中起着显著的中介作用。结论:这些发现强调了针对儿童，特别是女孩，需要有针对性的策略和干预措施来发展足够水平的PA。

期刊介绍： The leading idea is the health-directed quality of life. The journal thus covers many biomedical areas related to physical activity, e.g. physiology, biochemistry, biomechanics, anthropology, medical issues associated with physical activities, physical and motor development, psychological and sociological issues associated with physical activities, rehabilitation, health-related sport issues and fitness, etc.
