Description
Soyang Kwon, Pooja Tandon, Nilay Shah, and Namratha Kandula measure physical activity in Asian American children with wearable devices, in a 2026 paper. This group is underrepresented in activity research, and past evidence relied on self-reports. The team used national survey data with wrist accelerometers for ages six to seventeen.
Across four hundred ten participants, average activity sat well below the national reference percentile. Overall levels did not differ by whether a child was born in the US or abroad. Hints of opposite patterns for boys and girls by birthplace did not reach significance. The authors call the nativity and sex patterns exploratory and in need of confirmation.
