Problem
Research
methodology
The quantity and quality of studies in child
and adolescent physical activity and sedentary
behavior have rapidly increased, but research
directions are often pursued in a reactive and
uncoordinated manner.
Its aim is to arrive at an international
consensus on research priorities in the area of child
and adolescent physical activity and sedentary
behavior.

can help to conceptualize how findings can be
used as a basis for policy decisions in schools.
These research priorities can help
to guide decisions on future research
directions.
