Abstract The objective of this study was to examine the combined associations between time spent in moderate- to vigorous-intensity physical activity (MVPA) and time spent sedentary in relation to cardiometabolic risk factors in a cohort of Canadian children. A cross-sectional study was conducted on 536 white children aged 8–10 years with at ...
Introduction Physical activity is known to prevent cardiovascular disease (CVD). However, the relative importance of accumulating physical activity in sustained bouts versus shorter bouts in terms of CVD risk is yet to be determined.
Purpose The aim of this study was to investigate the relationship between moderate-to-vigorous physical activity (MVPA), ...
Purpose An active lifestyle is crucial for co-morbidity prevention in pediatric cardiac transplant patients(CTxP). The purpose of this study was to evaluate daily physical activity in CTxP and to identify relationships between anthropometric measurements, cardiac function and physical activity habits.
Methods Anthropometric measures and resting 2D echocardiograms were obtained. ...
Optimal sleep duration (7-8h), moderate-to-vigorous intensity physical activity
(MVPA) and light-intensity activity are beneficially associated with cardiometabolic
outcomes and related biomarkers, while sedentary time and long (≥9h) or short (<7h)
sleep duration are detrimentally associated.
Purpose This study examined whether sleep duration modified the relationship
between both sedentary/...
Purpose A hallmark characteristic of heart failure (HF) is reduced physical activity (PA) patterns and functional capacity. The relationship between key cardiopulmonary exercise testing (CPX) variables and PA patterns has not been investigated. To evaluate PA patterns in patients with ischemic HF and its relationship to peak oxygenconsumption (VO2), the ...
The aim was to investigate the associations between physical activity (PA), cardiorespiratory fitness (CRF) and intima media thickness (IMT) or stiffness. This was a population-based cross-sectional study (n = 336) of Danish adolescents [mean age (standard deviation, SD): 15.6 (0.4) years]. PA intensity was assessed objectively (ActiGraph model GT3X) and CRF using a ...
Aim
The aim of this study was to compare the lifestyle of three different working classes: office clerks, blue-collar workers and farmers, and investigate whether there was a difference in physical activity and risk factors for cardiovascular diseases (CVD) between these working classes.
Methods
162 individuals were measured for:
Body composition: ...
Background
Children with congenital heart disease (CHD) have a reduced exercise capacity. Studies suggest that prolonged hospitalization might contribute to deconditioning in exercise capacity. This study examined the postoperative physical activity among children with CHD after a hospital stay.
Methods
34 children and adolescents with CHD (21 girls, 8.0 years [IQ: 6.0-11.0 years]) ...
Aim To investigate the combined influence of diet quality and physical activity on cardiovascular diseases (CVD) risk factors in European adolescents.
Method Cross-sectional study that included 1513 adolescents aged 12.5‒17.5 years (45% boys) from eight European countries participating in the HELENA study. Dietary intake was registered using a 24h recall (on two non-consecutive ...
Objective
To investigate the single and combined associations of physical activity (PA), body mass index (BMI), and sleep duration with clustering of cardiovascular disease risk markers in healthy children.
Methods
We did a cross-sectional pilot-study of 74 Danish school children aged 8-11 years. Risk factors included in a continuous metabolic syndrome ...
