Background: There are no prospective studies that would have compared the relationships of different types of physical
activity (PA) and sedentary behavior (SB) with academic skills among children. We therefore investigated the associations of
different types of PA and SB with reading and arithmetic skills in a follow-up study among children.
Methods: The participants were 186 children (107 boys, 79 girls, 6–8 yr) who were followed-up in Grades 1–3. PA and SB
were assessed using a questionnaire in Grade 1. Reading fluency, reading comprehension and arithmetic skills were
assessed using standardized tests at the end of Grades 1–3.
Results: Among all children more recess PA and more time spent in SB related to academic skills were associated with a
better reading fluency across Grades 1–3. In boys, higher levels of total PA, physically active school transportation and more
time spent in SB related to academic skills were associated with a better reading fluency across the Grades 1–3. Among girls,
higher levels of total PA were related to worse arithmetic skills across Grades 1–3. Moreover, total PA was directly associated
with reading fluency and arithmetic skills in Grades 1–3 among girls whose parents had a university degree, whereas these
relationships were inverse in girls of less educated parents.
Conclusions: Total PA, physically active school transportation and SB related to academic skills may be beneficial for the
development of reading skills in boys, whereas factors that are independent of PA or SB may be more important for
academic skills in girls.

Cross-Lagged Associations between Physical Activity, Motor Performance, and Academic Skills in Primary-School Children
Haapala, Eero A.; Widlund, Anna; Poikkeus, Anna-Maija; Lima, Rodrigo Antunes; Brage, Soren; Aunio, Pirjo; Lakka, Timo A. (Lippincott Williams & Wilkins, 2023)Purpose Few longitudinal studies have investigated the interwoven longitudinal dynamics between physical activity (PA), motor performance, and academic skills in middle childhood. Therefore, we investigated the cross-lagged ... -

Sedentary Patterns and Sit-to-Stand Transitions in Open Learning Spaces and Conventional Classrooms among Primary School Students
Hartikainen, Jani; Haapala, Eero A.; Sääkslahti, Arja; Poikkeus, Anna-Maija; Finni, Taija (MDPI AG, 2022)Educational reforms worldwide have resulted in schools increasingly incorporating open and flexible classroom designs that may provide possibilities to reduce sedentary behavior among students during lessons. Cross-sectional ... -
Associations of neck and shoulder pain with objectively measured physical activity and sedentary time among school-aged children
Pirnes, Katariina Pauliina; Kallio, Jouni; Kankaanpää, Anna; Häkkinen, Arja; Tammelin, Tuija (Walter de Gruyter GmbH, 2020)Objectives The potential effects of physical activity and sedentary time on children’s increasing neck and shoulder pain are unclear. The aim of this cross-sectional study was to evaluate the associations between objectively ... -
Physical fitness characteristics and neck and shoulder pain incidence in school‐aged children : A 2‐year follow‐up
Pirnes, Katariina Pauliina; Kallio, Jouni Juhani; Hakonen, Harto Juho; Hautala, Arto Jorma; Joensuu, Laura; Häkkinen, Arja Helena; Tammelin, Tuija Heini (John Wiley & Sons, 2022)Background and Aims Neck and shoulder pain (NSP) is common in school age, but preventative factors have not been identified. The purpose was to study whether a fitness test could be used to predict the incidence of NSP ...
