A calibrated digital weight scale was used to measure participating parents’ weights, measured to the nearest 0.1 kg (Tanita, Arlington Heights, IL). A calibrated stadiometer was used to measure participating parents’ heights, measured to the nearest 0.01 cm (SECA, Hamburg, Germany). Using the measured height and weights, parent’s body mass indexes (BMI) (kg/m2) were calculated. To measure the infants’ lengths, infants were placed in a supine position on an infantometer (SECA, Hamburg, Germany). A calibrated scale was used to measure the infants’ weights, measured to the nearest 0.001 kg (SECA, Hamburg, Germany). The World Health Organization (WHO) infant growth chart was used to calculate the infants’ weight for length z-score, weight for age z-score, and length for age z-score.

The Calibrated Stadiometer is a medical device used to measure the height of an individual. It consists of a vertical scale with a sliding horizontal headpiece that is lowered to the top of the individual's head, providing an accurate measurement of their stature.

Height and weight were measured using a calibrated stadiometer (Seca, Hamburg, Germany) and, consequently, BMI was estimated. Dietary intakes were assessed using a 3-day food diary. The subjects were asked to record their dietary intakes on 3 non-consecutive days (2 days and a weekend). Food diaries were completed based on the estimated values in household measurement and portion sizes. All reported portion sizes and amounts were converted to grams. Data on food intake were analyzed by Nutritionist-IV software (First Databank, Division, San Bruno, CA, USA) modified for Iranian foods. Blood pressure was measured with a sphygmomanometer twice 30 min apart in the seated position after 5 min of rest each time.

A cohort of students in grades 4–6 completed anthropometric measures and a brief demographic survey as part of an ancillary study. These students had the ability to participate in the recess intervention reported here. Body weight was recorded to the nearest 0.1 kg using a digital scale (Seca, Ltd, Birmingham, UK), height was measured to the nearest 0.1 cm using a calibrated stadiometer (Seca Ltd, Birmingham, UK), and waist circumference was measured to the nearest 0.1 cm using a standard tape measure.

About PubCompare
Our mission is to provide scientists with the largest repository of trustworthy protocols and intelligent analytical tools, thereby offering them extensive information to design robust protocols aimed at minimizing the risk of failures.
We believe that the most crucial aspect is to grant scientists access to a wide range of reliable sources and new useful tools that surpass human capabilities.
However, we trust in allowing scientists to determine how to construct their own protocols based on this information, as they are the experts in their field.
