Physical Activity in Thai Children and Youth Aged 0-22 Years: A Systematic Review
Keywords:
physical activity, children, youth, research gap, ThailandAbstract
Background and rationale: Having sufficient physical activity (PA), as recommended by the World Health Organization, is necessary for developing motor skills and physical fitness of children and youth and reducing risks of non-communicable diseases when entering adulthood. Over the past years, there has been a large amount of research and development of PA knowledge in Thailand, but the research gaps and clear directions for future research have not been analyzed and identified. Objective: To investigate research topics conducted in the past and identify research gaps in PA among Thai children and youth aged 0-22 years and provide future research suggestions. Methodology: This study applied a systematic review by searching research articles from Thai and international databases. The review included studies on PA in Thai healthy children and youth aged 0-22 years written in Thai or English and published during 2009-2019. The quality of the studies was assessed using a standard checklist. Descriptive statistics and content analysis were used for data analysis. Result: A total of 79 studies were qualified and included in the review. The least age groups represented in the review were children aged 0-5 years (1.3%). There was a low number of studies in the areas concerning the association between PA and cognitive functioning, physical environment, and sociological-cultural factors. Areas that had not been investigated were the associations between PA and mental health, socio-economic status, and technology for promoting PA. Recommendation: Researchers should consider conducting studies that have been identified as gaps of the research in this field to provide comprehensive information for the development of policies and programs to encourage Thai children and youth to have sufficient PA and adopt PA as part of their lifestyle.
