Manual exploration of objects during early childhood is among those critical behaviors that lay the foundation of “tool use,” one of the most advanced human motor skills ( Lockman & Kahrs, 2017 ). The act of exploration in the first year serves as sensory feedback of objects that evolve into a more

A Longitudinal Examination of the Accuracy of Perceived Physical Competence in Middle Childhood
Stephanie Field, Jeff Crane, Patti-Jean Naylor, and Viviene Temple
Developmental experts have theorized that during the transition from early to middle childhood, perceptions of physical competence will become more accurate ( Harter, 2012b ; Robinson, Stodden, Barnett, & Lopes, 2015 ; Stodden et al., 2008 ). Understanding this process is important because boys

significant difference in obesity between FDSW and non-FDSW schools reported here. First, the effects of FDSWs on obesity may not emerge until later childhood after longer exposure to this school schedule. In addition, the lack of difference may be related to the notable differences in school-level factors

Childhood overweight and obesity have emerged as significant global issues due to their high prevalence ( NCD Risk Factor Collaboration, 2017 ). The World Health Organization ( 2021 ) characterizes overweight and obesity as “abnormal or excessive fat accumulation that may impair health.” The body
Childhood Obesity, Physical Activity, and Exercise
Dan Nemet
As the incidence of childhood obesity increases, there is a need to promote leisure time physical activity. Traditional approaches to promote the population physical activity levels have shown at best moderate improvements. High percentage of children today carry a cell phone, thus the use of this portable device seems promising for enhancing physical activity.
Pokémon Go, is a smartphone game that uses augmented reality, where players are incentivized to get out and walk significant distances to catch the Pokémon. Initial reports suggested increases in the number of steps that players performed, yet this effect of the game was not sustained. Incorporating physical activity into modern technology seems promising, clearly there is need to explore creative ways to achieve a longer term effect.

Chronic Diseases, Exercise, and Physical Activity in Childhood: 2015 in Review
Tim Takken
The year of 2015 was a fruitful year in the field of chronic diseases, exercise, and physical activity in childhood. Many interesting papers came out on this topic. Exercise testing and prescription in children with chronic disease and disability is an increasingly studied area in which many disciplines are involved including pediatric physical therapy, medicine, nursing, physical education, and exercise physiology. This multidisciplinary aspect is reflected in the journals in which my highlighted publications (below) were published. Because no single discipline has the ownership of exercise testing and prescription and because different disciplines use different jargon, it is difficult to have the scientific knowledge translated to the clinic. A few years ago we initiated the Pediatric Exercise Medicine Network (PEMNet) to close this knowledge translation gap.
