Measuring breakfast dietary patterns in Spanish youth: Reliability of the Spanish Youth Breakfast Consumption Questionnaire (SYBC-Q).

Reliable tools to assess breakfast habits are essential, as breakfast quality is linked to health and development in youth. However, validated instruments for Spanish children and adolescents are scarce. To assess the reliability of the Spanish Youth Breakfast Consumption Questionnaire (SYBC-Q) in a sample of Spanish children and adolescents.

Lifestyle Behavior Patterns and Their Association with Active Commuting to School Among Spanish Adolescents: A Cluster Analysis.

Objectives: We aimed to identify clustering patterns of the device-measured physical activity (PA) levels (i.e., light PA and moderate-to-vigorous PA) and sedentary time (ST), screen time, sleep duration, and breakfast consumption of Spanish adolescents and their associations with the mode of commuting to and from schools (i.

ENERGY expenditure of COmmuting to school (ENERGYCO): protocol for a cluster randomized controlled trial.

Introduction: This article outlines the rationale and methodology of the ENERGY expenditure of COmmuting to school study (the ENERGYCO study), a cluster-randomized controlled trial. The ENERGYCO study is divided into two phases: Phase I will aim; to assess the physical activity energy expenditure (PAEE) of different modes of commuting to school (i.e.

Assessment of Perceived Physical Literacy and Its Relationship with 24-Hour Movement Guidelines in Adolescents: The ENERGYCO Study.

Scientific evidence suggests that meeting the 24-hour movement guidelines is associated with numerous health benefits. One concept that emphasizes an individual's active lifestyle is physical literacy (PL). However, the relationship between PL and 24 h movement guidelines in adolescents has not been analyzed to date.

Active Commuting to School among Spanish Preschool Children: A Temporal Change Study between 2013 and 2017.

Background: Active commuting to school may increase the total daily physical activity and achieve health benefits among preschool children. Rates of active commuting to school among Spanish children and adolescents have been widely analysed, while the rates of active commuting to school among Spanish preschool children are unknown.

Aim: The main objective of this study was to examine the changes in the rates of active commuting to school in a sample of Spanish preschool children between 3 and 6 years old from 2013 to 2017.

Convergent Validation of a Self-Reported Commuting to and from School Diary in Spanish Adolescents.

Unlabelled: The aim of this study was to examine the convergent validity of self-reported diary times for commuting to and from school with device-measured positional data (Global Positioning System; GPS) in Spanish adolescents.

Methods: Cross-sectional data were obtained from four Spanish public secondary schools in 2021, comprising 47 adolescents and 141 home-school and school-home trips. Participants self-reported the time they left and arrived at home and school through a commuting diary.

Testing the Mystic School Mobile Application to Promote Active Commuting to School in Spanish Adolescents: The PACO Study.

Unlabelled: Active commuting to and/or from school (ACS) is an opportunity to increase daily physical activity (PA) levels in young people. Mobile-device interventions focused on promoting the practice of health-related PA can be more cost-effective than traditional interventions in this population.

Objective: To analyze the adolescents' opinion of the mobile application (app) Mystic School, which was designed to promote ACS in Spanish adolescents.

Higher independent mobility to school among adolescents: A secondary analysis using cross-sectional data between 2010 and 2017 in Spanish youth.

Aim: To describe and to analyse the associations between independent mobility to school (IM) with gender and age in Spanish youth aged 6-18 years old from 2010 to 2017. Moreover, to study the changes in the rates of IM from 2010 to 2017 by gender and age.

Methods: Cross-sectional data were obtained from 11 Spanish studies.

Children and Parental Barriers to Active Commuting to School: A Comparison Study.

The main objectives of this study were: to compare the barriers to active commuting to and from school (ACS) between children and their parents separately for children and adolescents; and to analyze the association between ACS and the children's and parents' barriers. A total of 401 child-parent pairs, from Granada, Jaén, Toledo and Valencia, self-reported, separately, their mode of commuting to school and work, respectively, and the children's barriers to ACS. -tests and chi-square tests were used to analyze the differences by age for continuous and categorical variables, respectively.

A School-Based Randomized Controlled Trial to Promote Cycling to School in Adolescents: The PACO Study.

This manuscript describes the rationale and protocol of a school-based randomized controlled trial called "Cycling and Walk to School" (PACO, by its Spanish acronym) that aims to promote cycling to and from school and physical activity (PA) in adolescents. This study will examine the effects of this intervention in cycling and active commuting to and from school (ACS), PA and several ACS-related factors based on self-determination theory (SDT) and a social-ecological model (SEM). A total of 360 adolescents attending six high schools (three experimental and three control) from three Spanish cities will participate in this randomized controlled trial.

Psychometric Characteristics of a Commuting-to-School Behaviour Questionnaire for Families.

The purposes of this study were: (a) to describe the patterns of modes of commuting to school (children) and to work (parents) separated by gender and age, (b) to validate the questions on children's mode of commuting to and from school according to their parents, and (c) to analyse the reliability of a family questionnaire focused on commuting to school behaviours. A total of 611 parents (mean age: 43.28 ± 6.

School-Based Interventions for Promoting Physical Activity Using Games and Gamification: A Systematic Review Protocol.

Unlabelled: Games and/or gamification seem to be a promising area for educational and health research. These strategies are being increasingly used for improving health indicators, even in educational settings; however, there is little information about these terms within the school to promote physical activity (PA).

Objective: the aim of this study is to describe a systematic review protocol of school-based interventions for promoting PA in pre-schoolers, children, and adolescent students using games and gamification.

Feasibility and Reliability of a Questionnaire to Assess the Mode, Frequency, Distance and Time of Commuting to and from School: The PACO Study.

Active commuting to and from school has several health implications. Self-reporting is the most common assessment tool, but there is a high heterogeneity of questionnaires in the scientific literature. The purpose of this study was to analyse the feasibility and reliability of the Spanish "New Version of Mode and Frequency of Commuting To and From School" questionnaire in children and adolescents.
