Measure(s)
Purpose
Instrumentation
PA
To 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 height
To 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 fitness
To 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.
