  young children from South Africa – a country with a double burden of ov
 er- and under-nutrition. While a focus of this research has been the devel
 opment of strategies to prevent early childhood obesity\, a purely obesity
  focus is not appropriate in the South African context. There has therefor
 e been a need to position this work within a broader early childhood devel
 opmental framework that takes into account other constraints and prioritie
 s within low-income South African settings. This has led to an increased f
 ocus on understanding how movement behaviours relate to cognitive developm
 ent in early childhood\, including how to develop intervention strategies 
 that take this into account.
