Abstract
Movement guidelines are evidence-based recommendations which outline the amounts of physical activity, sedentary behaviour, and sleep required by children for optimal health. However, seasonality could influence how children meet the guidelines. Therefore, studies on the effect of seasonality on children's movement behaviours (i.e., physical activity, sedentary behaviour, and sleep) globally were explored via a scoping review approach. Methodological concerns such as integrative versus isolated focus on the movement behaviours and the assessment tools used were also explored. The review followed the Joanna Briggs Institute (JBl) protocol for scoping reviews. Fourteen peer-reviewed studies from Australia, Europe, North America, and Japan on seasonality and movement behaviour in children were reviewed. Eight studies focused on physical activity, four focused on physical activity and sedentary behaviour or sleep, and two studies included all three movement behaviours. All of the studies used accelerometers to assess movement behaviours except one pedometer study. Based on the literature in this area, children appeared to be more active during the summers in Europe and North America, and less active during winters. The case was reversed for Australia. With the evidence to suggest that seasonality influences movement behaviours in children, further research should be done to harness the positive influence and reduce the negative impacts of seasonality.
