Description of study outcome measurement.

Measure(s)PurposeInstrumentation

PATo measure the levels of PA for preschool children and their parents [18].PA was measured using a GENEActiv waveform triaxial accelerometer (ActivInsights Ltd., Cambridge, UK).
Weight and heightTo calculate BMI (weight in kg/height in m2) as a measure of anthropometrics.Weight using a stadiometer (SECA 213, Hamburg, Germany); height using a balance scale (MIUI 2, Anhui, China).
Physical fitnessTo measure the levels of physical fitness for preschool children [19].Standing long jump test for lower-body muscular strength, tennis ball throw test for upper-limb muscular strength, continuous jump on both feet test for coordination and lower-body muscular strength,  m SRT test for speed agility, sit-and-reach test for flexibility, and balance beam walk test for dynamic balance.

Note: BMI: body mass index; PA: physical activity; SRT: shuttle run test.
