Preschool is an important setting for regulating sedentary time (ST). The preschool day in Finland follows daily structures by having morning and afternoon slots for group-based activities that can encourage children for movement (eg, free play and outdoor time) or be still (eg, teacher-led sessions and sitting-based circles). This study aims to explore if the weekly routines in preschool and if more frequent visits in places encouraging physical activity (PA) are associated with children's ST during preschool hours.
Cross-sectional DAGIS (Increased Health and Wellbeing in Preschools) study in the years 2015 and 2016.
In Finland.
864 children (48% girls, 4.7 years) from 159 preschool groups in 66 preschools OUTCOME MEASURES: A total of 778 children wore required lengths of time (at least 240 min per preschool day, at least 2 days) the accelerometer during preschool hours. Each preschool group reported their weekly schedule during the week, and one early educator completed a questionnaire covering practices. The following five measures related to weekly structures were formed; times of outdoors (times per day), teacher-led sessions (times per day), free play (low, middle or high), organised PA lessons (no lessons at all/others) and mixed activities (no lessons at all/others), and the following five measures about the frequencies of visits in places encouraging PA; nature trips (times per week), play parks (times per week), neighbourhood sport facilities (no visits at all/others), visits to gym or other indoor facility (no visits at all/others) and field trips to neighbourhoods (times per week). Multilevel linear regression analyses were conducted to measure the associations.
Of all the tested associations, only more frequently conducted nature trips were associated with lower children's ST during preschool hours (β=-1.026; 95% CI -1.804 to -0.248).
Frequent nature trips in preschools may be important due to its association with lower preschool children's ST.
幼儿园是规范久坐时间（ST）的重要场所。芬兰的幼儿园日常活动安排遵循一定的结构，设有上午和下午时段用于开展集体活动，这些活动既可以鼓励孩子们运动（如自由玩耍和户外活动时间），也可以让他们安静下来（如教师主导的课程和围坐式活动）。本研究旨在探讨幼儿园的每周日常安排以及在鼓励身体活动（PA）的场所更频繁地参观是否与孩子们在幼儿园时段的久坐时间相关。
2015年和2016年进行的横断面DAGIS（幼儿园健康与幸福提升）研究。
在芬兰。
来自66所幼儿园159个幼儿组的864名儿童（48%为女孩，平均年龄4.7岁）
共有778名儿童在幼儿园时段佩戴加速度计达到规定时长（每天至少240分钟，至少2天）。每个幼儿组报告了他们一周的日程安排，一名幼儿教育工作者完成了一份涵盖相关做法的问卷。形成了以下与每周活动结构相关的五项指标；户外活动时间（每天次数）、教师主导课程时间（每天次数）、自由玩耍（低、中或高）、有组织的体育活动课程（完全没有课程/其他）和混合活动（完全没有课程/其他），以及以下关于在鼓励身体活动场所参观频率的五项指标；自然旅行（每周次数）、公园游玩（每周次数）、社区体育设施（完全没有参观/其他）、参观健身房或其他室内设施（完全没有参观/其他）和社区实地考察（每周次数）。进行了多水平线性回归分析以测量相关性。
在所有测试的相关性中，只有更频繁地进行自然旅行与幼儿园时段较低的儿童久坐时间相关（β=-1.026；95%置信区间-1.804至-0.248）。
幼儿园频繁组织自然旅行可能很重要，因为它与较低的学龄前儿童久坐时间相关。
