Background
This is the first study that assesses neuroliteracy, namely the prevalence of neuromyths (NMs) and general knowledge about the brain (GKAB) among Hungarian in-service teachers.
Method
Participants (n = 734) completed an online survey, adapted from a widely used neuroliteracy questionnaire. A scoping review was conducted for international...
A neuromítoszok, vagyis téves idegtudományi elképzelések a mozgásfejlesztés és a motoros terápiák területén is problémát jelentenek. A megcáfolt fejlődéselméleteken vagy idegrendszeri működési mechanizmusok félreértelmezésén alapuló mozgásfejlesztési módszerek a gyermek különböző, nem motoros funkcióterületeinek (pl. kognitív funkciók, tanulási tel...

Summary
Background Underweight and obesity are associated with adverse health outcomes throughout the life course. We
estimated the individual and combined prevalence of underweight or thinness and obesity, and their changes, from
1990 to 2022 for adults and school-aged children and adolescents in 200 countries and territories.
Methods We used data...
The use of neuroscience research findings has opened up new horizons in the field of education. Neuromyths are misconceptions based on neuroscience. Their prevalence is a problem in education worldwide, as they are particularly popular among teachers, which influences their pedagogical practice.
The aim of our study is to present the neuroscientifi...

Standardized fitness testing in schools can be a powerful tool in policy evaluation and evidence-based advocacy. From the Hungarian perspective, an essential question is how daily physical education (DPE), affects the school aged youth’s physical fitness state. The implementation of DPE since 2011 has provided a chance to examine the effect of addi...
Optimal growth and development in childhood and adolescence is crucial for lifelong
health and well-being1–6
. Here we used data from 2,325 population-based studies, with
measurements of height and weight from 71 million participants, to report the height
and body-mass index (BMI) of children and adolescents aged 5–19 years on the basis
of rural an...
Teachers with poor neuroliteracy fail to distinguish scientific evidence from neuromyths (NM), which might lead to the implementation of pseudoscientific educational methods. The prevalence of NM and general knowledge about the brain (GKAB) among in-service and pre-service teachers has been assessed in multiple countries, but no such study has been...

Abstract
A standardized assessment of the physical fitness of Hungarian school students as a nationally representative sample hasn’t occurred since 1982–1984. Documenting the effects of the rapid changes in lifestyle of school students is very important, especially as public health indicators of the adult population show that Hungary is significant...
