Meeting the 24-h movement recommendations and its relationship with Mediterranean dietary patterns in early childhood: the SENDO project

The aim of this study was twofold: (1) to assess the association between meeting all three 24-h movement recommendations and adherence to the Mediterranean diet (MedDiet) in early childhood and (2) to examine whether participants who meet all three 24-h movement recommendations have greater adherence to the individual MedDiet foods/components than those who do not meet these recommendations. A cross-sectional study was conducted using a sample of 822 participants from the Seguimiento del Niño para un DesarrolloÓptimo (SENDO) project (Pamplona, Spain). Physical activity was assessed through a questionnaire that covered 17 different types of activities. Screen time was assessed by averaging the daily hours spent on activities such as watching TV, using a computer, or playing video games. Sleep duration was determined by taking the average of sleep durations during both weekdays and weekends. Adherence to the MedDiet was evaluated using the Mediterranean Diet Quality Index in children and adolescents (KIDMED). Greater odds of having an optimal adherence to the MedDiet were found for participants meeting all three 24-h movement recommendations (odds ratio (OR) = 1.96, 95% confidence interval (CI) 1.33–2.87, p = 0.001) in comparison with their counterparts not meeting these recommendations. Specifically, significant differences were found for “fruit or fruit juice every day” (p = 0.012), “second fruit every day” (p = 0.001), and “fresh or cooked vegetables regularly once a day” (p = 0.018) in relation to meeting all three 24-h movement recommendation status. Conclusions: This study provides further evidence of the potential importance of meeting all three 24-h movement recommendations to adopt a healthier eating pattern.What is Known:• Only a limited number of studies have investigated the joint connection between the 24-h movement recommendations and dietary habits.• Integrating the 24-h movement recommendations with dietary recommendations could potentially yield greater effectiveness compared to promoting these recommendations independently within public health strategies.What is New:• This is the first study in assessing the relationship between 24-h movement recommendations and adherence to the Mediterranean diet in early childhood.• These findings provide further evidence of the potential importance of meeting all three 24-h movement recommendations to adopt a healthier eating pattern.

Prevalence and coping of depression and anxiety among college students during COVID-19 lockdowns in China

BackgroundThis study sought to investigate the prevalence of anxiety, depression and mixed anxiety-depression disorder among college students during COVID-19 shelter-in-place lockdowns in China. MethodsParticipants (N = 2818) were selected from 8 provincial regions across the country in areas that were under lockdown mandates. The dependent variables were anxiety and depression. Multiple regression models were tested using anxiety and depression as the respective outcome variables, and binary logistic regression was conducted with anxiety-depression comorbidity as the dependent variable. Explanatory variables were changes in (social) media use and communication behaviors, perceived effectiveness of daily activity involvements as well as a number of demographic and environmental factors. ResultsBeing a college senior, prior anxiety/depression history, having family members and residents in neighborhood tested positive with COVID were all important predictors of elevated anxiety, depression and their comorbidity. Increased face-to-face family communication and reading more e-books were associated with reduced anxiety, depression and their comorbidity. Listening to music and playing video games were correlated with lower anxiety but not depression. ConclusionsDraconian shelter-in-place lockdowns as strictly enforced in China within a short notice could be detrimental to individual mental health and psychological well-being. Findings in this research can provide practical guidance for college counselors and health professionals in targeting particular segments of the student population in providing tailored psychological, therapeutic and material services during disruptive moments and public health crises. The central role of family communication in the emotional and social support process deserves critical contemplation.

The Prospective Effect of Protective Gaming Beliefs and Behaviors on Problematic Gaming, Mental Health, and Well-Being of Video Game Players

While most players enjoy video gaming, a minority suffer from problematic gaming. Existing studies focused on risk factors and proposed legislative and technological measures to contain the undesirable consequences. The present study aims to examine whether players’ healthy gaming practices can protect themselves against problematic gaming. We conducted a longitudinal survey at a public university in China, 604 college students took the first wave survey, and 365 of them completed the second wave six months later. The results showed that protective gaming beliefs and behaviors at baseline were negatively associated with problematic gaming tendency, and positively associated with mental health and well-being at follow-up. Problematic gaming tendency did not predict mental health and well-being. The findings suggested that players’ self-regulation can be an effective measure against problematic gaming and promote mental health and well-being. The present study can inspire stakeholders to develop additional approaches to help at-risk and problematic players.

Educational affordances of music video games and gaming mobile apps

ABSTRACT The rapid advancement of mobile and computing technologies has made the enjoyment of music in the video gaming experience more accessible and affordable, and has raised the interest of educators in the affordances of music-related games for informal music learning. This study aimed to examine the educational affordances of music-related games through content analysis. User reviews of music gaming mobile apps and video games were collected from two major digital distribution platforms and analysed to identify patterns and meanings related to their educational affordances and learning design. The findings reflected a sense of competence, autonomy and engagement resulting from playing video games, which motivated players to become self-directed learners in the context of informal learning. Several bias and limitations were identified, suggesting that an overreliance on video games may lead to unbalanced musical growth and incomprehensive musicianship training.

Online Gaming Addiction Among UiTM Puncak Alam Pharmacy Students Amid COVID-19 Pandemic

Stress among the university students had been triggered by the long-haul social distancing during the pandemic. Many had turned to playing video games more than usual as a social lifeline that could be potentially addictive. This study aims to evaluate the level of video gaming addiction during COVID-19 pandemic particularly among the UiTM Puncak Alam students. A cross-sectional study design with self-administered online survey was used to achieve the targeted objectives. The survey included several sections such as frequency of playing video games and 7-Item Game Addiction Scale (GAS). More than half of the cohort were females (60%) with average age of 23.46 ± 3.64 years. The findings showed that on average, these video gamers played approximately 2.33 ± 1.83 hours daily or 3.82 ± 2.04 days weekly. This study revealed that the prevalence of pathological and excessive gamers was low among the pharmacy students even during the pandemic restriction.

Evaluating the effectiveness of a low fidelity, easily available simulator to teach basic arthroscopy skills to novice learners: A prospective cohort study

BackgroundArthroscopy proficiency is key to being a competent orthopaedic surgeon and acquiring arthroscopic skills takes years of exposure and diligent practice. However, today’s graduating consultants have had considerably less time in operating theatre than their senior colleagues at the same point of their careers. ObjectivesTo evaluate whether: (1) Students could improve their arthroscopic technique using a low fidelity arthroscopic training tool (2) students enjoyed the use of the simulator (3) If certain demographics correlate to performance on the simulator. MethodsMedical students who have no previous training in arthroscopy were included. A combined left- and right-handed timed run with a low-fidelity arthroscopic triangulation simulator was recorded before and after 40-minutes of practice. Results84 participants took part with an average improvement of was 66.8%. Students felt that their arthroscopic skills increased on average by 36.4%. 73 of the 84 participants gave the maximum score of 5 when asked if they enjoyed the session and 74 participants gave the maximum score of 5 as to whether they would be interested in participating in further sessions. Factors such as biological sex, video game play and sports were found to be statistically significant to performance. ConclusionsThis study showed a statistically significant improvement in students’ arthroscopic performance with a low-fidelity arthroscopic simulator. Students found the experience useful with the vast majority indicating interest in completing further training sessions to help improve practical surgical skills. Video gamers, sports players and males were found to have a correlation with performance on the simulator.

Human factors in game design: The importance of accessibility

As the global gaming industry continues to grow, so does the need for game design to be accessible to people with different physical and cognitive abilities. Therefore, it is necessary to take accessibility design into consideration when developing a game. By using the interactive model of accessibility game design, this review explains why players with disabilities are unable to fully enjoy playing video games while playing. It then analyzes challenges and solutions related to visual, auditory, motor, and cognitive accessibility to gain a comprehensive understanding of how these elements interact in the game environment. Using case studies, this article lists a few games with accessibility in mind and illustrates the usability techniques they use. However, the process of achieving accessible gaming comes with its own challenges. This article analyzes the technical, economic, and creative barriers that developers often encounter, and provides a series of recommendations for game developers to address these challenges. By championing accessibility, the gaming industry can ensure that everyone, regardless of ability, can actively participate in video games.

Extended hours of video game play and negative physical symptoms and pain

BackgroundVideo games are a source of positive experiences and joy for many people. However, some interaction styles may lead to negative consequences. We aimed to examine the potential negative physical problems associated with video gaming behaviors. MethodData were from the 2022 International Gaming Study (IGS22), a cross-sectional survey of 955 individuals aged 18–94 (M = 46.10 [16.19]; 45% male) who played video games. We examined the association between prolonged continuous game play and physical problems identified in the past 12 months. ResultsPlaying video games for three or more hours in one session was associated with higher odds of negative physical symptoms (e.g., overall physical problems, OR = 2.80 [95% CI: 1.52–5.16, p < 0.001 and back or neck pain, OR = 2.19 [95% CI: 1.28–3.74], p < 0.01). Those who met the Ten-Item Internet Gaming Disorder Test (IGDT-10) threshold for internet gaming disorder had four times higher odds of physical problems. The positive associations between extended gaming behavior and physical symptoms were not moderated by age, gender, plans to be a professional player, or meeting the diagnostic criteria for internet gaming disorder. ConclusionsPhysical problems and pain occur disproportionately in individuals who engage in extended hours of continuous game play, including risk, women, individuals in older age groups, and those without internet gaming disorder. Video game players across the demographic spectrum should be alerted to these risks,

Evaluation of Screen Time in Children Under Five Years Old.

Due to the rapid advancement of technology, there has been a noteworthy increase in the diversity and abundance of activities involving children. The most effective methods to enhance and facilitate children's media interactions are to minimize, reduce, use with caution, and establish healthy patterns. We aimed to evaluate media exposure of children below five years of age. This is a prospective, observational, cross-sectional study that was conducted between December 2017 and September 2019 in Eskişehir, Türkiye. To assess the frequency of electronic device usage among children under the age of five, including televisions, laptops, tablets, and mobile phones, as well as its impact on their sleep patterns and physical measurements, and to evaluate families' understanding of the terms "screen time" and "back screen time," we developed a questionnaire. We analyzed a total of 731 questionnaires: 334 (45.7%) were girls, 397 (54.3%) were boys, and the mean age was 33.55±16.37 months. Upon examining the technical equipment accessible to the children in our study, we found that 98.6% possessed a television, 96.9% owned a mobile phone, 54% had a laptop, 49.5% had a tablet, and 34.1% possessed a gaming console. The study revealed the following proportions of electronic devices in children's rooms: 13% televisions, 11.9% tablets, 7.4% laptops, and 7% mobile phones. There has been a substantial increase in the amount of time they spend watching television and playing computer games among children who have at least one sibling. There was a statistically significant disparity between the television viewing periods and the body mass index of children older than two years old. Additionally, we have seen a significant disparity in the presence of media devices in children's bedrooms and the subsequent impact on their sleep duration and patterns throughout both nighttime and daytime. Around 65.8% of parents did not know of the concept of screen time, while 88.4% of parents did not know of the concept of back screen time. Parental compliance with the current guidelines for screen time is insufficient, among parents with children under the age of five, even though exposure to screens begins in the first months of life. Our analysis highlighted the necessity for parents to establish and enforce a unified and logical media usage policy for all children residing in the household. It is crucial to allocate sufficient time during the routine healthcare visit to discuss these recommendations.

Hygienic assessment of gaming conditions in the context of studying health risk factors for video game players

The article investigates the impact of regular engagement in computer games on the health of young individuals. Survey results indicate that players encounter issues with the musculoskeletal system and visual analyzer, including muscle pain, headaches, numbness, and spasms. An analysis of psychophysiological and social aspects reveals that esports athletes face not only physical problems but also psychological stress. Identified psychological issues include mood decline, anxiety, and irritability. The authors identify key health risk factors for esports athletes, such as high gaming frequency and duration, signs of computer dependency, lack of specialized equipment and furniture, consumption of stimulating substances during gaming, sedentary lifestyle, and sleep disturbances. The research underscores the importance of preventive measures and raising awareness of health risks among computer game players. The findings emphasize the need for a comprehensive approach to the well-being of this demographic, addressing both physical and mental aspects. The study contributes valuable insights into the multifaceted challenges associated with regular computer gaming, providing a foundation for developing strategies to mitigate potential health risks. Implementing preventive measures and fostering an understanding of the risks involved are crucial for promoting the health and well-being of individuals engaged in computer gaming activities.

Sleep Characteristics of an International Sample of Adult Gamers

Abstract Introduction About 65% of adult Americans report playing video games. Despite potential impacts to functioning, there is limited research on the relationship between video game use and sleep, specifically among adults. The present study expands upon the literature by describing demographic, video game, and sleep characteristics of an international adult sample of gamers. Methods The participants were 3,481 adults aged 18 to 74 who responded to an online questionnaire about video game use (i.e., quantity of play, most common game type), general sleep characteristics (i.e., sleep onset latency [SOL]; duration, sleep timing, and sleep quality), and gaming-specific sleep disruptors (i.e., game-related night awakenings and sleep delays). Most identified as cisgender male (79.8%) and white (77%). Results Participants reported an average SOL of 24.63 minutes, and most (64.5%) had a sleep duration from 7 to 9 hours with an overall average of 8.42 hours. Most (58.7%) reported that their sleep quality was fair to very poor. Bed and wake times were generally delayed, with 51% reporting a late evening or early morning bedtime and an average wake time of 8:28 am. A majority (81.2%) indicated that their bedtime was delayed due to game-related activities, but game-related night awakenings were less common. Conclusion Although many report a sufficient amount of sleep, adult gamers tend to report sleep disruptions in other domains, particularly regarding a delayed sleep schedule and poor sleep quality. This may be attributable to game-related bedtime delays or other game-specific factors (e.g., game type) that should be evaluated in the future.

Addressing the Association Between Action Video Game Playing Experience and Visual Search in Naturalistic Multisensory Scenes.

Prior studies investigating the effects of routine action video game play have demonstrated improvements in a variety of cognitive processes, including improvements in attentional tasks. However, there is little evidence indicating that the cognitive benefits of playing action video games generalize from simplified unisensory stimuli to multisensory scenes- a fundamental characteristic of natural, everyday life environments. The present study addressed if video game experience has an impact on crossmodal congruency effects when searching through such multisensory scenes. We compared the performance of action video game players (AVGPs) and non-video game players (NVGPs) on a visual search task for objects embedded in video clips of realistic scenes. We conducted two identical online experiments with gender-balanced samples, for a total of N = 130. Overall, the data replicated previous findings reporting search benefits when visual targets were accompanied by semantically congruent auditory events, compared to neutral or incongruent ones. However, according to the results, AVGPs did not consistently outperform NVGPs in the overall search task, nor did they use multisensory cues more efficiently than NVGPs. Exploratory analyses with self-reported gender as a variable revealed a potential difference in response strategy between experienced male and female AVGPs when dealing with crossmodal cues. These findings suggest that the generalization of the advantage of AVG experience to realistic, crossmodal situations should be made with caution and considering gender-related issues.

The Mediating Role of Problematic Use of Loot Boxes Between Internet Gaming Disorder and Online Gambling Disorder: Cross-Sectional Analytical Study.

The video game industry has introduced a new form of monetization through microtransactions. A controversial example has been the so-called "loot boxes" (LBs) as virtual objects, which are randomized and bought with legal money. In recent years, LBs have come to connect 2 distinct problem behaviors, namely internet gaming disorder (IGD) and online gambling disorder (OGD). Many association studies have been conducted on the 3 constructs, but few have delved into the relationship of problematic use of LBs (PU-LB) with IGD and OGD. This study aims to explore the mediating role of the PU-LB between IGD and OGD. This cross-sectional and analytical study used incidental sampling in 24 Spanish schools. The final sample consisted of 542 participants (male: n=523, 96.5%; age: range 11-30 y) who played video games, bought LBs, and had gambled online in the last 12 months. Participants then completed the Spanish versions of the Internet Gaming Disorder Scale-Short Form, Online Gambling Disorder Questionnaire, and PU-LB scale. IGD scores were found to be significantly associated with both PU-LB (r=0.473, P<.001) and OGD (r=0.209, P<.001). Moreover, PU-LB was significantly associated with OGD (r=0.351, P<.001). The structural equation model results indicated that IGD had no significant direct effect on OGD (P=.903). However, the indirect effect of IGD on OGD through PU-LB was significant (P<.001). Therefore, PU-LB fully mediated the relationship between IGD and OGD. Furthermore, these results were found in the subsamples of both minors (<18 y) and young adults (≥18 y). It is suggested that there is a mediation effect of problematic LB use between internet gambling and online gambling problems in both minors and young adults. This has potential practical implications by providing more evidence on how LBs have become a hinge feature between 2 clinically relevant and independent issues. In this regard, adequate industry self-regulation is needed, and effective legislation for the protection of minors is necessary.

Three measures of internet use, social media use and video game playing as predictors of insomnia during the pandemic among students

Existing research indicates that the relationship between digital technology use and insomnia can largely depend on which digital technology measure and which insomnia measure is considered. Data on 4261 Slovenian tertiary students was gathered through an online survey in February 2021, which included measures of depression and insomnia symptoms, as well as measures of internet, social media and video game use divided into three measurement levels (use, duration of use, addictive use). Regression analysis revealed an apparent effect of measurement level, where addictive use measures consistently outperformed other technology use measures in predicting insomnia. Regardless of measurement level, social media use seems to produce more risk for insomnia, compared to playing video games or general internet use for leisure purposes. Importantly, a single measure of depression symptoms explained more variance in insomnia than the nine measures of digital technology use combined, meaning that the effect of digital technology on sleep should not be overstated. Most of the effect of social media use on insomnia may in fact be explained by understanding users' depression symptoms. In case of gaming, a larger part of its effect on insomnia is independent of depression symptoms.

Physical activity, sedentary behavior, and sleep across lifespan in adults across European countries: Background and design

Introduction&#x0D; Regular physical activity (PA) has benefits for health throughout the lifespan. PA benefits musculoskeletal, cardio metabolic health, and overall well-being (Kapoor et al., 2022). However, data from 2017 shows that about 55-83% of women and 47-74% of men from European countries (EU) do not meet these guidelines (Lübs et al,. 2018). Moreover, adults at the age of 40-54 (aOR: 0.65, 95% CI: 0.52-0.81) and 55-64 (aOR: 0.61, 95% CI: 0.49-0.77) are less likely to have moderate or high levels of PA in comparison with those 18-24 years of age. (Nikitara et al., 2021). Sedentary behavior (SB) including activities such as watching television, playing computer games, browsing the internet has increased (Wang et al., 2019). Canada has an established track record in the development of 24-hour movement guidelines on PA, SB, and sleep. They have previously release guidelines for all age groups. Following Canada’s lead, several jurisdictions including Australia, New Zealand, South Africa have incorporated the 24-hour movement concepts (Tremblay, 2020). There is a lack of data for 24-hour behavior guideline in the European context. There are no specific recommendations on SB and sleep. Therefore, this project will present the background, methods and design of a 24-hour movement summary of behaviors (PA, SB and sleep) in Europe.&#x0D; Methods&#x0D; We will utilize existing PA, SB and sleep data from the World Health Organization on European adults 18+. Analysis using mean, median, and 95% confidence Intervals, will be complemented by frequency distributions and histograms. These will be stratified by age and sex subgroups for a more comprehensive overview.&#x0D; Results&#x0D; The findings from this research have the potential to inform surveillance efforts, shape policies and public health strategies, improve overall well-being, and contribute to the development of evidence-based guidelines.&#x0D; Discussion/Conclusion&#x0D; Implications of this research may inform researchers on further questions to pursue, policy makers in resource allocation, and practitioners on where to focus intervention efforts.&#x0D; References&#x0D; Kapoor, G., Chauhan, P., Singh, G., Malhotra, N., &amp; Chahal, A.

De-foreignizing English Outside Class: Junior-Secondary-Level English-as-a-Foreign-Language Learners’ Extramural English Engagements and Listening and Reading Proficiency

Being cognizant of the indispensable role of abundant language input, scholars have given more attention to learning beyond the foreign language classroom in recent decades. This is especially important because there is usually limited time and exposure to authentic input in class. Contexts in which English is regarded as a foreign language warrant scrutiny since English is now highly accessible to learners at virtually all ages, worldwide, at no/low cost, thanks mostly to technology. The present longitudinal study set out to examine 350 Hong Kong junior-secondary-school learners’ informal engagements with extramural English activities (e.g. watching videos; playing computer games). The relationship between their engagements and language proficiency was also investigated. The findings revealed that as many as 90% of the participants had informal extramural exposure to English. This exposure was classified into seven categories. Overall, the three most popular types of engagement were videos/movies, songs, and communication (e.g. face-to-face chats; text messages). Intriguingly, the overall levels of engagements were correlated significantly and positively with proficiency scores for the average- and high-proficiency groups, but no such relationship was found for the low-proficiency students. The article concludes with a brief discussion of the findings.

“It’s a Boy Thing”: AAA Games Still Seem to Primarily Address Cisgendered White Male Players

The boom in new technologies and the growth of the internet have contributed to the huge mainstream market for video games. However, despite the fact that video games have become mainstream, the stereotype that they are the exclusive domain of white male gamers persists, and those who do not fall into this category are still marginalised. This paper focuses on Crawford and Godbey’s 1987 framework for analysing the lack of representation of non-white and non-male video game players. In addition to this, some developers who are committed to developing diverse and inclusive game characters continue to fall short of addressing the root causes of marginalisation in video games.

KAUSALITAS ANTARA ANXIETY, SOCIAL PHOBIA TERHADAP PEMAIN VIDEO GAME

Life satisfaction is one of the most ambigious concept to take a hold on. One’s degree of life satisfaction can differ from other person even though they have a realtively similliar life. This research studies people who play video games regularly (gamers) from the age of eighteen to fifty six. As one of the common trait or stereotipically seen that gamers have difficulty in social aspect of their lifes. Using Structural Equation Modeling (SEM), the research will try to confirm the relationship between anxiety and social phobia toward life satisfaction. The final model shows that anxiety and social phobia shows a significant negative affect towards life satisfaction of gamers.

Influence of Non-linear Storytelling in Video Games on Cognitive Development among Students with Learning Disabilities

This study seeks to answer the question, aiming to investigate whether playing video games affects the cognitive development of students with learning impairments in Saudi Arabia" by looking at the possibility of gender differences in the cognitive results of video game play. A quantitative method of research was used to investigate whether or not certain aspects of video game play, such as playing frequency, game genre, and length, are associated with cognitive growth in memory, attention, and problem-solving among a sample of 350 students. The results showed a link between frequent play and involvement in certain game genres, such as action and role-playing games, to the improvement of students’ cognitive development. It was also noted that female participants consistently outperformed male participants on tests of memory, attention, and problem-solving, highlighting the moderating influence of gender. These results have major ramifications for educators, parents, and policymakers. Thus, the need to develop healthy gaming habits and apply strategies that are welcoming to students of both sexes, illuminating the potential of video games as tools for fostering cognitive growth is deemed necessary.
