Sedentary/active Behaviors And Cardiometabolic Risk: Protective Effects Of Sleep Duration, Nhanes 2005-2006

  • Presented on May 29, 2013

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/...



Estimation of Caloric Expenditure Using Triaxial Accelerometers

  • Presented on May 29, 2013

Accelerometers-based activity monitors are commonly used to measure physical activity energy expenditure (PAEE). Newly designed wrist and hip-worn triaxial accelerometers claim to accurately predict PAEE across a wide range of activities. Purpose To determine if the Nike FuelBand (NFB), Fitbit (FB) and ActiGraph GT3X+ (AG) accurately estimate PAEE in ...



An Novel Approach to Quantifying Intra-Day Physical Activity Pattern

  • Presented on May 29, 2013

The importance of regular physical activity for maintaining optimal health is well documented. Accelerometer-based measures of activity have proven very useful in recent years for quantifying activity behavior in a wide variety of populations, including adults aged > 65 years. However, few studies have focused specifically on activity patterns within a 24-hour ...




Physical Activity And Sedentary Behaviour In Scottish Youth With Type 1 Diabetes

  • Presented on May 29, 2013

Physical activity can benefit the health of youth with Type 1 diabetes. Despite the benefits some studies have found patients do not always meet the physical activity recommendation of 60 minutes of moderate-to-vigorous physical activity (MVPA) per day. Physical activity and sedentary behaviour have not been measured previously in Scottish youth with ...


Seasonal Changes in Childcare-related Physical Activity and Sedentary Time Among Preschoolers

  • Presented on May 29, 2013

Results from several objective monitoring studies suggest that children’s physical activity (PA) patterns may change across seasons; however, it is not well understood how PA patterns in the childcare setting may change across seasons. Purpose To prospectively track preschoolers’ PA patterns during childcare while investigating for seasonal differences in ...


Objectively Monitored Physical Activity and Time in Sedentary Behaviors: Association with Older Adults’ Gait Speed

  • Presented on May 29, 2013

Clinically assessed gait speed is a valuable test of older adults’ functioning and an important predictor of adverse outcomes including disability, cognitive decline, falls, institutionalization, and mortality. It is logical to pursue correlates of gait speed. Purpose To evaluate the relationship between accelerometer-determined indicators of free-living walking volume (steps/day, ...
