The negative effect of sedentary behavior is less substantial, but still accounts for a reduction of about a fifth of a standard deviation with each additional hour. /Subtype /Image Recreation Health benefits of serious involvement in leisure activities among older Korean adults. That is, we cannot distinguish whether, for example, the connection between physical activity and cognitive performance is more straightforwardly physiological (e.g., through concrete channels like brain structure or enhanced executive functioning) or psychological (by being beneficial in themselves or substituting for other behaviors that may offer negative psychic and cognitive value). With respect to video games, Suziedelyte (2015) uses a fixed-effects research design and finds that gaming (both console and computer based) is positively associated with math ability.

Using extensive qualitative evidence, Lareau (2000, 2002) describes how the leisure time of children in middle-class families is highly structured and organized compared to the more informal, family-oriented working-class home environment. Because time diaries were assigned based on randomly selected dates, we assume no systematic relationship between when behavior was measured and any relevant demographic correlates.

Therefore, our previous understanding of harmful StS effects on subsequent strength and power activities has to be updated. Results: We suspect behavior may be less sensitive to weather conditions among the children of college-educated caregivers because they are engaged or enrolled in more formalized activities that would be more likely to take place rain or shine (Lareau 2000, 2002; Weininger, Lareau, and Conley 2015). We found parental education to be so stable across waves as to function as time invariant, and thus dropped it from the specifications.

In figure 3, we compare time use in the original CDS cohort we use in this analysis (19972007) to the newer 2014 module. 2016; Weininger, Lareau, and Conley 2015). The extant evidence illustrates that activity (and inactivity) may be related both to physical changes in the brain itself, along with cognitive improvements that can positively affect test performance through numerous channelsincluding those that relate to behavior (e.g., ability to focus) rather than intellectual skill per se. Clipboard, Search History, and several other advanced features are temporarily unavailable. In addition to differences in cognitive performance, some cross-sectional and RCT studies also find physical, structural differences in brain integrity between more and less fit children (e.g., white or gray matter volume) (Erickson, Hillman, and Kramer 2015). /Width 29 We control for the cumulative gains realized by the progression of the school year by including a time in school variable backdated to the day after Labor Day (largely but not universally coincident with the start of the school year in the United States) from the date of the WJ-R test in each CDS wave. We found no noticeable difference in results by excising homework time and confining the measure to the length of the school day alone. endobj Effect sizes are at least twice as large for girls compared to boys, with all activities exhibiting significant relationships with math assessment except for video games (table 3). Many older adults face limitations to participating in active leisure activities as a result of their physical constraints from aging. This raises the possibility of a selection bias mechanism whereby higher-ability children spend more time sedentary or consuming media. Learn more about the negative effects of recreation. The effects of recreation on our environment are numerous. Sports as well as outdoor activities can significantly alter the Earth's natural surroundings and cause disruption to wildlife. In particular, there are three common ways that recreational activities affect the environment. endobj Our research suffers from various limitations that render our results provisional. We begin by leveraging the longitudinal aspect of the data and employ an individual fixed-effects (FE) approach, which zeros out any time-invariant factors. 2023 Mar 29;13(4):293. doi: 10.3390/bs13040293. endobj We then present stratified results, with the clearest differences based on caregivers education (in our data, almost always mothers)with strong effects of active and passive leisure on cognition evident among the children of high school graduates, and smaller, statistically insignificant relationships among those with college-educated parents. endobj endstream Negative responses were consistent with the following effects of recreational disturbance at the community, population, or individual (behavioral or physiological) levels: decreased species richness or diversity; decreased survival, reproduction, occurrence, or abundance; behaviors typically assumed to reflect negative responses to anthropogenic "/S+k{zkzq=+W5= `a3.gS'`OW5= `a3.gS'`OW5= `a3.gS'`OV7]{%_9KS?qN4L}KOP[u3#A7]{%_9KS?qN4L$uE[~k#*F0=7D]DV5i G+WOm7fU-I{|6~K~ lN`=P?%Su [ wUfKkhwn0q( ,k}d9Qev[ z+Yh-DDE+W^HwITkrevv:. endstream For practical purposes, we believe our findings lend further support to the general notion that, ceteris paribus, physical activity seems to generally be a positive factor in child development, while sedentary and screen behavior seem to evince the opposite effect. Oxford University Press is a department of the University of Oxford. Unfortunately, because of the practical difficulties of inferring causal relationships using observational data, much of what we suspect to be involved in altering developmental trajectory is ultimately based on intuition and theory rather than robust empirical evidence. Benefits such as: improving of cardiovascular health helping a person manage his or her weight lowering calories and cholesterol reducing blood pressure strengthening bond or relationship with other people For whites, the effect of physical and outdoor activity was greater in magnitude than for African Americans, with the opposite true of sedentary behavior and screen timethough the latter two are only significantly predictive at the 10 percent level for the black subsample (table 4). To capture the effect of sunlight on behavior, we use daily historical records of insolation (sunlight measured in kilojoules per square meter at the county level), collected as part of the North America Land Data Assimilation System (NLDAS) and disseminated by the Centers for Disease Control (CDC) Wonder database (Centers for Disease Control 2017). Specifications that were not bounded by lag time restrictions produced substantively similar results, but with smaller coefficients and greater precision, consistent with the growth in sample size and reduced signal after including cases where testing substantially lags or precedes treatment.

Strategies that decrease sedentary time and promote physical activity in its place may have a particularly robust impact on confronting these pernicious inequalities of achievement. We restricted the 2014 CDS descriptive estimates to children above 10 so they are comparable in age to the 2007 wave (when the youngest children in our sample were about 10 years old). As we will discuss in the Results section, time in school was a significant predictor in the verbal but not math specifications. Another consideration is the effect sizes of behavior on assessment we find among African Americans compared to whites, which could reflect differential vitamin D absorption because of the protective effects of melanin (Matsuoka et al. 6 0 obj stream Next, the negative effects of casual, serious, and project-based leisure are taken up. Meanwhile, some leisure is intolerably deviant, whereas other activities are new to society and are therefore in the course of being examined by the general public for their moral implications. Another quality that characterizes some leisure is its annoyingness. These differences in measured cognition reverberate through the life course, and have been implicated in reduced intergenerational mobility and flatter wage trajectories among African Americans, controlling for other significant factors in achievement like grades and attitudinal traits (Bhattacharya and Mazumder 2011; Hall and Farkas 2011). Physical activity lowers blood pressure , which is one of the major contributing factors to cardiovascular events.

Taken together, these findings suggest that the impact of the weather on mood is rather ambiguous, and that sunlight seems to affect outcomes chiefly through the act of being in- or outdoorsthat is, through activity and behavior.

WebOther studies have also indicated that participating in moderate-in-tensity leisure activities (e.g., walking) can effectively reduce psychological anxiety and improve mood (Fox, 1999; Roe & Aspinall, 2011; Scully, Kremer, Meade, Graham, & Dudgeon, 1998). /BitsPerComponent 8 Because we view this in theory as more or less a dose-response relationship in the short and medium termlike a milder cousin to other exposures that induce changes in cognitive assessment, like neighborhood violence (e.g., Sharkey 2010)we exclude observations where the WJ-R test was administered before the time diary day, and cap the lag time at nine days so as to avoid an unrealistic coupling of exposure and outcome. Woodcock, Richard W., and Mary B. Johnson. Parents and children listed the childs activities over 24 hours in an open-ended diary with no predetermined minimum time increment on a randomly selected day during the school week and weekend in each CDS wave. All remaining errors are ours alone. Bailey, Martha J., and Susan M. Dynarski. Moreover, the effect sizes range from a fifth to more than half a standard deviation per additional daily hour of activity, rendering them meaningful in a real-world sense. Other reviews of medium-term interventions find more general positive cognitive effectsthat is, across domains that include academic skillsbut effect sizes differ widely among the studies (Lees and Hopkins 2013). 2015). (We use sedentary behavior as an example because it is an umbrella category that includes screen time, television, etc.) We conclude with a descriptive examination of the trend lines between our data and the new 2014 CDS cohort, providing relevant contemporary context for our findings. We also perform a robustness check whereby we restrict our sample to sunlight outliers in an attempt to capture the influence of more random as opposed to seasonally based weather, finding substantively similar resultswith the exception of gaming, which is no longer significantly predictive (see table S3 in the online appendix). In the FE methodological framework, each respondent effectively acts as their own control by only considering within-child variation in behaviors, covariates, and test scores over time, and as a matter of course accounts for stable characteristics like race, birthweight, or sex. /Name /im1 Erickson, Kirk I., Charles H. Hillman, and Arthur F. Kramer. By exploiting the plausibly exogenous variation in weather on the day of measured activity, we can deliver estimates of how more active and passive forms of leisurewhich are particularly sensitive to weather and sunlightcontribute to shaping cognitive assessment over time. RECREATION, PASSIVE: Recreation that involves existing natural resources and has a minimal impact. RECREATION, PASSIVE means low intensity recreation activities which have limited noise and light impacts and are minimally disruptive to the natural environment. For the purposes of this title, Tomopoulos, Suzy, Bernard P. Dreyer, Samantha Berkule, Arthur H. Fierman, Carolyn Brockmeyer, and Alan L. Mendelsohn. For instance, there could in theory be some character trait that prompts a simultaneous migration to the Sunbelt and an outsized growth in cognition, which would bias our estimates upward. Thus some children may be substituting physically active behavior for, say, watching television, while for others that same active leisure may be impinging on studying or practicing violin. 2015). Psychological Restoration through Indoor and Outdoor Leisure The differences in the effects of physical and outdoor activity are more difficult to speculate on because all children exhibit relatively low levels of either behavior. There are three possible sources of variation in sunlight from wave to wave in our data: 1) the effect of children moving to a qualitatively different climate across waves (e.g., testing in May 1997 and 2002, but having moved from Vermont to Arizona in the interim); 2) the broader changes in weather due to taking the test in different seasonal conditions (e.g., testing in December 1997 and June 2002); and 3) the random weather perturbations that the jagged edges of the curves in figure 1 represent (e.g., engaging in activity and testing during a seasonably sunny few days in May 1997, and then again during a frost in May 2002). Keywords: Other work in the realm of public health customarily considers time use as a predictor, focusing on the associations between specific behaviors and phenomena like obesity or attention deficit disorder (Falbe et al. /Filter /FlateDecode This leaves open the possibility that a different estimation strategy may uncover significant relationships between time use and cognition among the children of college-educated parents that we do not observe here. Significant baseline differences among high- and low-SES toddlers have been found as early as 18 months (Fernald, Marchman, and Wiesleder 2013), and indeed may be large enough in magnitude to largely account for the lag in US educational assessment compared to similar industrialized countries (Merry 2013). activities Noelke, Clemens, Mark McGovern, Daniel J.

Frontiers | Physical Activity, Inactivity, and Sedentary Behaviors One reason could be a systematic difference in opportunity cost structures, such that some children are substituting active behavior for less productive time use. These effects are meaningfully large in a real-world sense, ranging from a rise or fall of a fifth to more than half a standard deviation in math scores per additional daily hour spent on the specific activity.

That is, because we deliberately exclude many kinds of behavior that could fall under the outside/active (e.g., walking to or from school) or sedentary (e.g., doing homework on the couch) categories, reductions in one do not necessarily lead to increases in the other. The signal between behavior and cognitive achievement would be weakened in these subgroups, and thus perhaps not broadly relevant in terms of policy because changing behaviors would only affect children whose behavior is sensitive to environmental conditions. a !1AQa"q2B#$Rb34rC%Scs5&DTdEt6UeuF'Vfv7GWgw(8HXhx )9IYiy While we make every attempt to account for these factors conceptually and empirically, because one cannot prove that the exclusion criteria are met, the possibility remains that there is some latent bias that drives our results. The CDS also collected assessments of math and verbal ability using the Woodcock Johnson Revised (WJ-R) tests, which are well-established, age-standardized metrics of reasoning ability in children as young as three years old (see: Woodcock and Johnson [1989] for more detail).

The effects of sedentary behavior and screen time are particularly meaningful, given that by the 2007 wave, the adolescents in our data spent over 2.5 hours each day performing these passive leisure activities. Further, as a matter of course, we cannot produce estimates for non-compliers who, say, mostly stay inside regardless of weather conditions. Our imputed specifications in table 1 produce substantively similar estimates, which suggest that data missingness is not systematically biasing our core results. Researchers have also illustrated related links between seasonal warm-weather allergens and decreased performance on high-stakes exams (Bensnes 2016). He is also interested in mapping the genetic architecture of phenotypic plasticity, and characterizing social and genetic sorting as distinct processes.
