PHYSICAL ACTIVITY LEVELS AND PHYSICAL ENVIRONMENTAL FACTORS ASSOCIATED WITH SEDENTARY BEHAVIOR IN MOROCCAN SCHOOLCHILDREN
Background and objectives: The school is an important setting for physical activity. Identifying determinants of sedentary behaviour and in particular those that are modifiable is a necessary step to develop effective interventions targeted at reducing sedentary time.

| description | Background and objectives: The school is an important setting for physical activity. Identifying determinants of sedentary behaviour and in particular those that are modifiable is a necessary step to develop effective interventions targeted at reducing sedentary time. This study is the first one of its kind in Morocco using objective method to assess sedentary time among children. The aim of this study was to synthesize the current evidence base on the determinants of sedentary behaviour specifically in school children. Methods: 100 children aged between 8-14 years old (mean age =11.28±1.35years, 50% of boys) were recruited from different public schools. Moderate to Vigorous Physical Activity (MVPA) and sedentary time were measured by accelerometers GT3X+. Obesity was defined by the WHO reference body mass index (BMI)-forage. School environment was assessed by adapted questionnaire Results: 21% of children were overweight. Boys accumulated more minutes of MVPA compared with girls.56% of boys vs 16% of girls meet the recommendation of at least 60 minutes/day (p |

Boys accumulated more minutes of MVPA compared with girls.56% of boys vs 16% of girls meet the recommendation of at least 60 minutes/day (p<0.0001). Children spent an average of 477.68 ±127.15 min/day in sedentary time. The most frequently available outdoor facilities for children across schools were soccer fields and playgrounds for other games. However, those areas are poorly equipped and most of them are built from cement. All schools programmed only 60 min per week of physical education. Also in the neighborhood surrounding the school, there aren't free/low cost facilities (recreation centers, clubs), there is a lack of outdoor playgrounds, cycle facilities, inaccessible sidewalks around schools caused by street vendors. Conclusions: This study demonstrated that there is a gender difference in time spent in MVPA .Girls were less active compared with boys, and also that physical school environment factors can influence children's physical activity levels and sedentary behavior, for example, school neighborhood and design, transport system and also reduced time of physical education per day. Our findings suggest that there is a need to design school environmental changes to promote physical activity in schoolchildren.</description><identifier>ISSN: 0250-6807</identifier><identifier>EISSN: 1421-9697</identifier><identifier>DOI: 10.1159/000480486</identifier><language>eng</language><publisher>Basel: S.
