Measurement of Sedentary Behavior and Physical Activity Among Kids and Youths with Autism. Dr Patrick Jachyra
Dr Patrick Jachyra is working as a post-doctoral fellow at Azrieli Adult Neurodevelopmental Centre Centre for Addiction and Mental Health in University of Toronto. His research explores, for example, physical activity participation among young people diagnosed with autism spectrum disorder (ASD). Young people with ASD are less likely to be physically active compared to their peers, and increasingly become even less active during adolescence in both scholastic and community contexts. The combination of declining physical activity, side effects of medication treating core symptoms of ASD, and highly sedentary behaviours position young people diagnosed with ASD to experience reduced psycho-social development and well-being. --- This podcast episode is sponsored by Fibion Inc. | The New Gold Standard for Sedentary Behaviour and Physical Activity Monitoring Learn more about Fibion: fibion.com/research --- Collect, store and manage SB and PA data easily and remotely - Discover new Fibion SENS Motion: https://sens.fibion.com/ ---

Alternative Activities for Physically Inactive Children - Dr Johan Högman (Pt2)
Promoting Playful Activities in Sports: "They have to be more playful elements and basically activities that have other logics than winning and competing and comparing."— Dr Johan Högman --- Timestamps: "Exploring Views on Getting Children Involved in Sports" "Challenging initiatives fail to attract inactive children" "Revamping Children's Sports: Beyond Winning and Competing" "Alternative Physical Activities vs Traditional Sports Programs" "Alternative physical activity for inactive children tested" Johan Högman is interested in the social and cultural dimensions of how and why children move their bodies. He believes that physical activity is important for all children, regardless of the type of activity, and that understanding the societal views of physical activity is vital in ensuring that more children are able to participate. Johan's research involves digging deeper into the conditions that impact physical activity in children and the factors behind why some children may not be as active as others. Overall, he is passionate about promoting physical activity and helping more children to move their bodies in healthy ways. ---- "On this episode of Physical Activity Researcher Podcast, we discuss the challenges of engaging physically inactive children in sports activities. Our speaker explains that while some children love sports and physical activity, those who are not as active perceive it as sporty and competitive, making them less likely to participate. To address this issue, our researcher recommends changing the ordinary business of sports clubs and offering more diverse activities that appeal to non-athletic children. The episode covers the use of the bioecological theory to understand the factors that prevent children from enjoying physical activity. The theory helps to examine individual traits and abilities and how they interact with the cultural and environmental factors. The podcast also shares insights on the best practices for conducting focus groups to collect children's experience and perceptions regarding physical activity. Finally, our speaker talks about the ongoing efforts to come up with alternative physical activities that are enjoyable and accessible to inactive children by conducting a 12-week program with playful activities like Pokemon Go and trampoline parks to measure the effectiveness compared to traditional sports activities." ---- This podcast episode is sponsored by Fibion Inc. | Better Sleep, Sedentary Behaviour and Physical Activity Research with Less Hassle --- Collect, store and manage SB and PA data easily and remotely - Discover ground-breaking Fibion SENS --- SB and PA measurements, analysis, and feedback made easy.

Practical Challenges in Measuring Physical Activity in Children – Dr. Ying Gao (Pt4)
"What practical challenges arise in measuring physical activity among children?" In this final part of the episode, Dr. Olli Tikkanen and Dr. Ying Gao discuss the real-world challenges faced when collecting physical activity data from children using devices like Fibion. Dr. Gao shares her experience with device placement, tape sensitivity, and device retention, revealing that around 15-20% of devices were lost in initial studies due to a lack of clear instructions for parents and children. By enhancing communication with parents and teachers and providing practical solutions like custom-made pockets in shorts, Dr. Gao’s team significantly improved data retention and device return rates. Dr. Gao also highlights how varying humidity levels in different locations impact device attachment and shares strategies, such as using specific tapes and providing flexible study schedules, to make participation easier for children. This episode is essential for researchers looking to understand the logistical considerations in physical activity data collection among young participants. ____________________________ This podcast episode is sponsored by Fibion Inc. | Better Sleep, Sedentary Behaviour and Physical Activity Research with Less Hassle --- Collect, store and manage SB and PA data easily and remotely - Discover ground-breaking Fibion SENS --- Learn more about Fibion Flash - a versatile customizable tool with HRV and accelerometry capability. --- SB and PA measurements, analysis, and feedback made easy.
