Physical Education

This study explored the relationship between children's social-emotional health, physical activity (MVPA), and screen time across socioeconomic groups in Bandar Abbas, Iran. Surveying 1,041 primary school children, researchers found that lower socioeconomic status (SES) children were more physically active, while higher SES children had more screen time. Positive emotions like happiness were linked to more physical activity, whereas negative emotions such as sadness and worry were associated with increased screen time and reduced activity. The findings highlight the need for targeted interventions that address emotional well-being to promote healthier lifestyles and reduce screen time among children, especially considering SES disparities.
