Active Learning Norwegian Preschool(er)s (ACTNOW) – Design of a Cluster Randomized Controlled Trial of Staff Professional Development to Promote Physical Activity, Motor Skills, and Cognition in Preschoolers [Study protocol]
Aadland, Eivind; Tjomsland, Hege Eikeland; Johannessen, Kjersti; Nilsen, Ada Kristine Ofrim; Resaland, Geir Kåre; Glosvik, Øyvind; Lykkebø, Osvald; Stokke, Rasmus; Andersen, Lars Bo; Anderssen, Sigmund Alfred; Pfeiffer, Karin Allor; Tomporowski, Phillip D; Størksen, Ingunn; Bartholomew, John; Ommundsen, Yngvar; Howard, Steven James; Okely, Anthony D.; Aadland, Katrine Nyvoll (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2020)Introduction: There is a dearth of high-quality evidence on effective, sustainable, and scalable interventions to increase physical activity (PA) and concomitant outcomes in preschoolers. Specifically, there is a need to ... -
The association between preschool quality and objectively assessed physical activity among Norwegian preschoolers
Johannessen, Kjersti; Bjørnestad, Elisabeth; Nilsen, Ada Kristine Ofrim; Ylvisåker, Einar; Nornes-Nymark, Merete; Engesæter, Mari; Pedersen, Lillian; Aadland, Eivind (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2020)Various aspects of the preschool environment may either promote or restrict children’s moderate- to-vigorous physical activity (MVPA), for example through opportunities for outdoor play. The aim of the present study was ... -
Bi-directional prospective associations between objectively measured physical activity and fundamental motor skills in children: a two-year follow-up
Nilsen, Ada Kristine Ofrim; Anderssen, Sigmund Alfred; Johannessen, Kjersti; Aadland, Katrine Nyvoll; Ylvisåker, Einar; Loftesnes, Jan Morten; Aadland, Eivind (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2020)Background: The direction of the longitudinal relationship between physical activity (PA) and fundamental motor skills (FMS) remains unclear. We evaluated the bi-directional, prospective relationships between intensity-specific ... -
Boys, older children, and highly active children benefit most from the preschool arena regarding moderate-to-vigorous physical activity: A cross-sectional study of Norwegian preschoolers
Nilsen, Ada Kristine Ofrim; Anderssen, Sigmund Alfred; Resaland, Geir Kåre; Johannessen, Kjersti; Ylvisåker, Einar; Aadland, Eivind (Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2019)The preschool environment exerts an important influence on children's behaviour, including physical activity (PA). However, information is lacking regarding where and when most of children's PA is undertaken. This study ... -
A comparison of analytical approaches to investigate associations for accelerometry-derived physical activity spectra with health and developmental outcomes in children
Aadland, Eivind; Nilsen, Ada Kristine Ofrim; Andersen, Lars Bo; Rowlands, Alex V.; Kvalheim, Olav Martin (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2020)The use of high-resolution physical activity intensity spectra obtained from accelerometry can improve knowledge of associations with health and development beyond the use of traditional summary measures of intensity. The ... -
The multivariate physical activity signature associated with body mass index in young children
Aadland, Eivind; Holmøy, Oddbjørn Kvalheim; Nilsen, Ada Kristine Ofrim (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2021)The evidence regarding associations between intensity-specific physical activity and adiposity in young children is conflicting. Moreover, the evidence is limited by analytical approaches that cannot handle the multicollinearity ... -
Reproducibility of objectively measured physical activity: Reconsideration needed
Aadland, Eivind; Nilsen, Ada Kristine Ofrim; Ylvisåker, Einar; Johannessen, Kjersti; Anderssen, Sigmund Alfred (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2020)Reliability of accelerometer-determined physical activity (PA), and thus the required length of a monitoring period, appears to depend on the analytic approach used for its calculation. We compared reliability of objectively ...
