TLDR
The constraints and facilitators to meaningful movement for children in family day care and the major barriers to physical activity described by stakeholders reflected a confluence of environmental and social factors.Abstract:
Movement-seeking behaviours should be fostered in young children to maximise their potential to adopt and maintain a physically active lifestyle. This study examined the constraints and facilitator...read more

TL;DR: Clinicians should work with parents to monitor motor skills and to encourage children to engage in activities that promote motor skill performance, which could be important to the health of children, particularly in obesity prevention.

Directly Observed Physical Activity Levels in Preschool Children
TL;DR: The study indicates that young children are physically inactive during most of their time in preschool, and the preschool that a child attended was a stronger predictor of physical activity level than any other factor examined.

Parental Report of Outdoor Playtime as a Measure of Physical Activity in PreschoolAged Children
TL;DR: Parental-report measures of outdoor playtime were significantly correlated to a direct measure of physical activity in preschool-aged children, and are worthy of future evaluation as a survey measure.

Play equipment, physical activity opportunities, and children's activity levels at childcare.
TL;DR: Not all physical activity facilities at childcare were indeed positively associated with children's activity levels, and the 3-year old children were more active outdoors than the 2-year olds.
Journal ArticleDOI
Physical activity of children in family child care.
TL;DR: Physical activity was monitored for 65 boys and girls, during family child care, using accelerometry as mentioned in this paper, and average accelerometer wear time was 7.0 ǫ h (SD = 0.83).

Do Obese Children Become Obese Adults? A Review of the Literature
TL;DR: Although the correlations between anthropometric measures of obesity in childhood and those in adulthood varied considerably among studies, the associations were consistently positive and the risk of adult obesity was at least twice as high for obese children as for nonobese children.
