TL;DR: The findings continue to support the importance of at least 60 min/day of MVPA for disease prevention and health promotion in children and youth, but also highlight the potential benefits of LPA and total PA.

TL;DR: The Canadian Task Force on Preventive Health Care was reconstituted through a funding agreement between the Public Health Agency of Canada (PHAC) and the Canadian Institutes of Health Research in 2010 and has had an international reputation for providing outstanding guidance for practitioners using rigorous, high-quality methods.

TL;DR: This work aimed to present the best available evidence to determine the relationship between physical activity and measures of adiposity, bone and skeletal health, motor skill development, psychosocial health, cognitive development, and cardiometabolic health indicators in infants, toddlers, and preschoolers.

TL;DR: Overall, longer sleep duration was associated with lower adiposity indicators, better emotional regulation, better academic achievement, and better quality of life/well-being and there is a need for sleep restriction/extension interventions that examine the changes in different outcome measures against various amounts of objectively measured sleep to have a better sense of dose-response relationships.

TL;DR: Four key quality control and data reduction issues that researchers should consider when using accelerometry to measure physical activity are described: monitor reliability, spurious data, monitor wear time, and number of valid days required for analysis.
