Abstract
- Objective: The objective of this study was to determine the prevalence of insufficient physical activity (IPA) and neighborhood characteristics associated with it, among school children. The impact of sociodemographic characteristics and ownership of electronic devices on physical activity (PA) were also evaluated. Materials and Methods: This was a cross-sectional study carried out among 5-7th grade students attending schools and their parents. IPA was defined as having moderate-vigorous activity for 0.05). Conclusion: The prevalence of IPA is alarmingly high among school children. The impact of neighborhood characteristics on PA might be obscured since both variables were measured subjectively. Devices related information/communication technologies increase IPA; we need to find novel ways to use these devices for PA promotion. There is also a need to increase structured PA opportunities.
