Abstract

Increasing children’s physical activity (PA) and reducing their sedentary behaviour are considered important preventative measures for obesity and several other health risk factors in children. Given children spend significant time at home, an improved understanding of these behaviours in the home e...

Therefore, the overarching aim of this thesis was to provide new insight into how the home environment is related to children&#x2019;s home-based PA and sedentary behaviour. Study 1 investigated the relationship between sufficient moderate-to-vigorous physical activity (MVPA) (&#x2265;60 min&#xB7;day&#x2013;1) and excessive screen-time (&#x2265;2 h&#xB7;day&#x2013;1) with lifestyle factors in children, and found they were associated with healthy and unhealthy factors, respectively. This study highlighted the importance of meeting PA and screen-time recommendations in relation to important health-related lifestyle factors, which is of concern, as few children were shown to meet such recommendations. Identifying the correlates of children&#x2019;s behaviours is an important stage in intervention development, therefore studies 2-5 focussed on improving understanding of children&#x2019;s PA and sedentary behaviour at home. Study 2 demonstrated the validity and reliability of HomeSPACE-II, a novel instrument for measuring physical factors that influence children&#x2019;s home-based PA and sedentary behaviour. Using HomeSPACE-II, study 3 showed that the physical home environment is related to children&#x2019;s home-based PA and sedentary behaviour. Given the established influence of social and individual factors on children&#x2019;s behaviour and their confounding effects in study 3, study 4 investigated the influence of social and individual factors on: (i) children&#x2019;s home-based PA and sedentary behaviour, and; (ii) the home physical environment. Study 4 revealed that parental and child activity preferences and priorities, as well as parental rules were associated with children&#x2019;s home-based PA and sedentary behaviour and the physical home environment. Study 5 found clusters of social and physical factors at home, which were associated with children&#x2019;s home-based PA and sedentary behaviour as well as background characteristics in the expected directions.</abstract><type>E-Thesis</type><journal/><volume/><journalNumber/><paginationStart/><paginationEnd/><publisher/><placeOfPublication>Swansea</placeOfPublication><isbnPrint/><isbnElectronic/><issnPrint/><issnElectronic/><keywords>Home, House, Physical activity, Sedentary behaviour, Sedentary time, Children, Family, Correlates</keywords><publishedDay>1</publishedDay><publishedMonth>11</publishedMonth><publishedYear>2021</publishedYear><publishedDate>2021-11-01</publishedDate><doi>10.23889/SUthesis.58523</doi><url/><notes>ORCiD identifier https://orcid.org/0000-0003-3597-3542</notes><college>COLLEGE NANME</college><CollegeCode>COLLEGE CODE</CollegeCode><institution>Swansea University</institution><supervisor>Stratton, Gareth ; Mackintosh, Kelly ; Griffiths, Lucy</supervisor><degreelevel>Doctoral</degreelevel><degreename>Ph.D</degreename><degreesponsorsfunders>A Zienkiewicz scholarship from Swansea University</degreesponsorsfunders><apcterm/><lastEdited>2021-11-02T10:07:01.7805025</lastEdited><Created>2021-11-01T16:02:47.0670032</Created><path><level id="1">Faculty of Science and Engineering</level><level id="2">School of Engineering and Applied Sciences - Uncategorised</level></path><authors><author><firstname>MICHAEL</firstname><surname>SHELDRICK</surname><order>1</order></author></authors><documents><document><filename>58523__21389__708e3379bc754ed8978e63532883ed3c.pdf</filename><originalFilename>Sheldrick_Michael_P_R_PhD_Thesis_Final_Redacted_Signature.pdf</originalFilename><uploaded>2021-11-01T16:26:47.4064087</uploaded><type>Output</type><contentLength>9221873</contentLength><contentType>application/pdf</contentType><version>E-Thesis &#x2013; open access</version><cronfaStatus>true</cronfaStatus><documentNotes>Copyright: The author, Michael Peter Rustat Sheldrick, 2021.</documentNotes><copyrightCorrect>true</copyrightCorrect><language>eng</language></document></documents><OutputDurs/></rfc1807>
