Background: There is limited evidence about emotional and behavioral responses in toddlers and preschoolers during the novel coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic, particularly in Latin America.
Objective: To assess associations between changes in movement behaviors (physical activity, screen time and sleeping) and emotional changes in toddlers and presc...

Background
To better understand sedentary behaviour and favour international comparisons, more evidence from different countries are needed. However, there are a few tools available in Spanish to measure sedentary behaviour. This study aimed to culturally adapt, translate and validate the Past-day Adults’ Sedentary Time (PAST) questionnaire in Chil...
The aim was to examine the sociodemographic predictors associated with changes in movement behaviors (physical activity, screen time, and sleep) among toddlers and preschoolers during the early stages of the coronavirus disease 2019 pandemic in Chile. Caregivers of 1- to 5-year- old children completed an online survey between 30 March and 27 April...

Reporte ejecutivo número 1 de estudio de conductas de movimiento en 24 horas de niños y niñas de 1 a 5 años en Chile durante pandemia COVID-19
Background:
The study summarizes the findings of the 2018 Chilean Report Card (RC) on Physical Activity (PA) for Children and Adolescents and compares the results with the first Chilean RC and with other countries from the Global Matrix 3.0.
Methods:
A Research Work Group using a standardized methodology from the Global Matrix 3.0 awarded grades...
Background: Little is known about of correlates of physical activity (PA), sedentary behaviour (SB), and sleeping in children from Latin America. The aim of this study was to assess the association between potential correlates with device-measured PA, SB and sleeping time in children from 9 to 11 years in Carahue, Chile. Methods: A cross-sectional...

PURPOSE: To describe device measured physical activity (PA) and sedentary behaviour (SB) in older adults from Temuco, Chile.
METHODS: Community-dwelling adults aged 60 and older were recruited from 17 different neighbourhoods in Temuco, Chile. The participants were asked to wear an ActiGraph GT3X+ accelerometer on the hip for 7 consecutive days. A...
Objectives
The purpose of this study was to determine the number of monitoring days needed to reliably measure weekly activity behaviours with the ActivPAL (AP) monitor in adults.
Design
Cross-sectional study.
Methods
Participants (90 adults (51.1% men); age = 39.1 ± 12.43 years) wore an AP for 7 consecutive days. Mean time spent sitting/lying, s...
Chile’s first Report Card (RC) on Physical Activity for Children and Youth released in 2016 graded with an F overall physical activity (PA), as only 3 out of 10 children and 2 out of 10 youth performed at least 60 minutes of moderate-to vigorous-intensity PA per day. Most indicators received very low grades, except for Community and Environment, an...
Background: Latin America and the Caribbean (LAC) countries, have been historically underrepresented due to the lack of surveillance on physical behaviours in young populations. Therefore, the aim of this study was to describe and compare overall physical activity (PA), active transportation to and from school (i.e. walking or cycling), physical ed...
Los beneficios de la actividad física a nivel individual y poblacional han sido bien documentados, no solo en términos de salud, sino que también en términos de sostenibilidad. Lamentablemente en Chile, solo 3 de cada 10 niños menores de 5 años cumple con las recomendaciones internacionales de actividad física (3 horas diarias de actividad física m...
Background
Although evidence on the health effects of sedentary behavior (SB) has grown systematically in recent years, few developing countries have reported population levels of SB, especially in South America. Our objective was to describe time spent sitting in a representative sample from Chile categorized by age, gender, educational level, and...
INTRODUCTION
The negative effects of physical inactivity and sedentary behaviour (SB) on children’s health have been widely supported by evidence. However, evidence on how these behaviours are manifested in pre-school children is limited. The study aim was to evaluate objectively measured physical activity (PA) and SB patterns in Chilean pre-school...

OBJETIVO GENERAL
Evaluar la factibilidad y efectividad de una intervención integral (Football fans in training: FFIT-CHILE) de 12 semanas entregada a través de clubes profesionales de fútbol para promover actividad física y reducir peso en adultos con sobrepeso y obesidad.
OBJETIVOS ESPECIFICOS
1. Evaluar la efectividad de FFIT-CHILE en la circunferencia de cintura, el índice de masa corporal (IMC), grasa corporal, presión arterial, ingesta alimentaria, actividad física autoreportada y con acelerometría, bienestar, autoestima, vitalidad y calidad de vida en adultos con sobrepeso y obesidad.
2. Evaluar la aceptabilidad de FFIT-CHILE medido a través de la adherencia de los participantes y fidelidad del servicio realizado por los líderes grupales que entregan la estrategia.
3. Evaluar la sostenibilidad y transferibilidad de FFIT-CHILE medido a través del interés desarrollado por los profesionales involucrados, participantes, y clubes deportivos para asegurar recursos para implementarlo en el futuro y mantener un centro asesor del programa FFIT-CHILE.
SUNRISE is an International Surveillance Study of Movement Behaviours in the Early Years. Bringing together researchers from low-, middle-, and high-income countries across the globe, the SUNRISE study aims to measure physical activity, sedentary behaviour and sleep for children under the age of 5 years. The SUNRISE Coordinating Centre is based at the University of Wollongong, Australia.
The main of the study is to determine the proportion of 4-year-old Chilean children who meet the WHO Global 24-hour Movement Guidelines for the Early Years.
A secondary aim is to determine if these proportions differ by sex or urban/rural location.
To describe the association between physical behaviours (sedentary, standing, walking and sleep) and musculoskeletal pain in Chilean police officers. We are using the ActivPAL micro for 7 consecutive days. We will analyse the impact of shifts and roles in physical behaviours and other health outcomes.
