Moderators of Change in Physical Activity Levels during Restrictions Due to COVID-19 Pandemic in Young Urban Adults
TL;DR: It is suggested that 30-d of restrictions equally affect females and males where the evident drop in MVPA is seen in both genders, and active people decreased their PA level during lockdown and the opposite pattern was seen in non-active peers, where restrictions for them can represent an opportunity to change their behavior in a positive direction in order to gain better health status.

TL;DR: In this article, a systematic search of the literature was performed to compare the effects of interventions that targeted sedentary behaviours or physical activity (PA) or physical fitness on primary prevention of obesity in 6- to 12-year-old children.

Can Injuries Be Predicted by Functional Movement Screen in Adolescents? The Application of Machine Learning.
Josip Karuc,Marjeta Mišigoj-Duraković,Marko Sarlija,Goran Marković,Vedran Hadžić,Tatjana Trošt-Bobić,Maroje Sorić +6 more
TL;DR: In this article, the authors used machine learning (ML) to predict injuries among adolescents by functional movement testing, and the optimal cut-point of the total FMS score for predicting injury was calculated using receiver operating characteristic curve.

Relation between Weight Status, Physical activity, Maturation, and Functional Movement in Adolescence: An Overview
TL;DR: Evidence consistently showed that overweight and obese adolescents exhibit poorer functional movement compared to normal weight adolescents, and it appears that maturation has effects on functional movement in athletic populations of adolescents.

Movement quality in adolescence depends on the level and type of physical activity.
Josip Karuc,Marjeta Mišigoj-Duraković,Goran Marković,Vedran Hadžić,Michael J. Duncan,Hrvoje Podnar,Maroje Sorić +6 more
TL;DR: Results suggest that the PA level is positively associated with the functional movement in adolescent girls, but not in boys, where the type of PA moderates these associations, and functional movement patterns incorporated into physical education curriculum could be beneficial to the musculoskeletal health of the children.
