Effects of active video games on body composition: a randomized controlled trial
Ralph Maddison,Louise Foley,Cliona Ni Mhurchu,Yannan Jiang,Aandrew Jull,Harry Prapavessis,Maea Hohepa,Anthony Rodgers +7 more
TL;DR: An active video game intervention has a small but definite effect on BMI and body composition in overweight and obese children.
Journal ArticleDOI
Use of active video games to increase physical activity in children: a (virtual) reality?
Louise Foley,Ralph Maddison +1 more
TL;DR: The intervention studies indicate that active video games may have the potential to increase free-living physical activity and improve body composition in children; however, methodological limitations prevent definitive conclusions.
Journal ArticleDOI
Family-based interventions for reducing sedentary time in youth: a systematic review of randomized controlled trials.
TL;DR: Evidence from randomized controlled trials of interventions with a family component that targeted reduction of sedentary time, including TV viewing, video games and computer use, in children in children is synthesized.
Journal ArticleDOI
Presleep Activities and Time of Sleep Onset in Children
TL;DR: Screen sedentary time dominated the presleep period in this sample and was associated with a later sleep onset, and the development of interventions to reduce screen-based behaviors in the pressleep period may promote earlier sleep onset and ultimately improved sleep duration in young people.
Journal ArticleDOI
Changes in active commuting and changes in physical activity in adults: a cohort study
TL;DR: Changes in active commuting were associated with commensurate changes in total self-reported physical activity and it was found that promoting active commuting has potential as a public health strategy to increase physical activity.
