The sample was comprised of 253 preschoolers. Preschoolers were assessed for anthropometric data and wore an accelerometer for seven consecutive days. Screen time and sleep duration were parent-reported in a face-to-face interview. The PREFIT test battery was used to assess physical fitness components (lower-body strength, cardiorespiratory fitness, and speed\/agility). Descriptive statistics were used to describe the variables, and a network analysis was conducted to assess the emerging pattern of associations between the variables. Preschoolers\u2019 greatest compliance with recommendations was observed for physical activity, while the lowest compliance was observed for the screen time recommendation. Among children aged three years, only 2.2% complied with all recommendations; only 1.0% of the four-year-olds and 1.3% of the five-year-olds complied with all recommendations. The results of the network analysis and centrality measures emphasized that cardiorespiratory fitness (CRF) and compliance with movement behavior recommendations were the most critical variables to address in preschoolers, reinforcing the importance of intervention programs focused on intense activities.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.3390\/obesities3010004","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2023,1,25]],"date-time":"2023-01-25T04:22:16Z","timestamp":1674620536000},"page":"36-45","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.3390\/mdpi_crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":3,"title":["Twenty-Four-Hour Movement Behaviors, Fitness, and Adiposity in Preschoolers: A Network Analysis"],"prefix":"10.3390","volume":"3","author":[{"given":"Alyce Rodrigues","family":"Souza","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Federal University of Para\u00edba, Cidade Universit\u00e1ria, Jo\u00e3o Pessoa 58000-000, Brazil"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0001-8260-0189","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Paulo Felipe Ribeiro","family":"Bandeira","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Federal University of Vale do S\u00e3o Franciso, Petrolina 56304-917, Brazil"},{"name":"Regional University of Cariri, Crato 63105-000, Brazil"}]},{"given":"Morgana Alves Correia","family":"da Silva","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Federal University of Vale do S\u00e3o Franciso, Petrolina 56304-917, Brazil"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0001-9708-1799","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Glacithane Lins","family":"da Cunha","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Federal University of Vale do S\u00e3o Franciso, Petrolina 56304-917, Brazil"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0001-8210-0619","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Daniel Fernandes","family":"Pereira","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Federal University of Vale do S\u00e3o Franciso, Petrolina 56304-917, Brazil"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-4947-9329","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Clarice","family":"Martins","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Federal University of Para\u00edba, Cidade Universit\u00e1ria, Jo\u00e3o Pessoa 58000-000, Brazil"},{"name":"Laboratory for Integrative and Translational Research in Population Health (ITR), Research Centre of Physical Activity, Health and Leisure, Faculty of Sports, University of Porto, 4500 Porto, Portugal"}]}],"member":"1968","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2023,1,24]]},"reference":[{"key":"ref_1","unstructured":"World Health Organization (2020).
