OBESITY, DISEASES
Physical inactivity is one of the leading risk factors for lifestyle diseases and increased morbidity worldwide. PA is a modifiable factor and increasing PA levels among children can help reduce health risk factors, promote healthy lifestyles, and improve their quality of life.In this review, we expect to identify the factors associated with PA participation among children. We hope that systematically reviewing such factors will help address the paucity of evidence surrounding factors contributing to poor engagement with physical activity, which can lead to obesity and other medical conditions. Identifying the factors influencing PA participation in children and adolescents can provide guidance, health promotion, and resources for the families, policymakers, and authorities to improve the lifestyle and health of young people. Any major changes in the protocol will be amended in PROSPERO. An abstract of the complete synthesis will be presented in relevant conferences. The manuscript will be submitted to a relevant journal for publication. This systematic review will support the caregivers, policymakers, and healthcare providers by summarising the evidence for different behavioral interventions intended to increase the physical activity participation among children. This behavioral change is particularly relevant globally given WHO’s focus on preventing diseases in children.
