Levels of PA among children and adolescents are influenced by a range of factors, some of which are well-established, including sex and age; however, evidence regarding the association between socioeconomic status (SES) and PA remains equivocal, yet children from lower-income households are often less active than their more affluent peers. In the UK and Ireland, despite national policies promoting PA, evidence on how socioeconomic inequalities in moderate-to-vigorous PA (MVPA) have changed over time, including during the COVID-19 pandemic, remains limited. This scoping review aimed to map the extent and nature of research on socioeconomic differences in child and adolescent MVPA.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Design<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>The review followed Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses extension for Scoping Reviews (PRISMA-ScR) guidelines and was prospectively registered on the Open Science Framework.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Data sources<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>Studies were identified through seven electronic databases, hand-searching, grey literature and expert recommendations.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Eligibility criteria<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>Inclusion criteria were participants aged 0\u201318 years, inclusion of MVPA outcomes and socioeconomic indicators and data collection between 2015 and 2025 within the UK and Ireland.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Data extraction and synthesis<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>Two reviewers independently screened and extracted data, with disagreements resolved by a third reviewer.

Observed disparities may reflect methodological differences, particularly variations in socioeconomic indicators and MVPA measurement methods, contributing to inconsistent findings. However, causal explanations cannot be established, highlighting the need for longitudinal research using consistent SES indicators and device-based MVPA measures.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Registration<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>\n                      Robinson, S., O'Kane, M., Carlin, A., Reilly, J., Mackintosh, K., &amp; Basterfield, L.
