Academic Significance and Societal Importance of the Research Achievements |
本研究では、身体活動の客観的指標としての体力ならびにスクリーンタイム(座位行動時間)と、近年危惧されている子どもの心身の不調や欠席との関連を縦断的に検討した。結果として、低学年時点での身体活動指標や生活習慣が良好でないことは、後年の心身の不調、学業不振さらには多日数欠席の発生リスクを高めていた。低学年時から、スクリーンタイムの管理に加え、友人と関わりを持ちながらスポーツや遊びで身体を動かす機会を多く持ち、それと並行して良好な生活習慣を保つことは、心身の不調や欠席の抑制に有効である可能性が高いと考えられた。
