Reallocating 24-hour movement behaviors and its impact on mental health in preschool children: a compositional data and dose-response analysis
Reallocating time from LPA or SED to MVPA or SLP significantly improves Total Difficulties and Internalizing Problems in preschool children, even with brief substitutions. However, increasing LPA at the expense of SED or SLP exacerbates Externalizing Problems, especially Conduct Problems and Hyperactivity/Inattention. Interventions should promote MVPA and adequate sleep while considering the critical 30-minute threshold where effects become more pronounced to enhance emotional and behavioral well-being.
