Abstract

In the article by Taverno Ross S, Dowda M, Saunders R, Pate R, "Double dose: The cumulative effect of TV viewing at home and in preschool on children's activity patterns and weight status," in Pediatr Exerc Sci. 25(2), p. 262-272, the authors incorrectly stated that children in the High TV-Combined group had significantly lower levels of MVPA compared with children in the Low TV-Combined group. However, as shown in Table 3, children in the High TV-Combined group had higher MVPA than the Low TV-Combined group. Given that all other differences between High TV and Low TV groups were not significantly different and the erroneously interpreted difference was marginally significant (p =.047), the authors believe that the proper interpretation of the findings is that TV exposure was not associated with children's physical activity.
