Introdução: O prolongado tempo de permanência ao leito está relacionado ao desenvolvimento de disfunções músculo-esqueléticas e respiratórias. Portanto, a caracterização do nível de atividade física e a verificação dos fatores associados em pacientes hospitalizados podem ser fundamentais para estratégias ...
Introduction: The prolonged length of stay on the bed is related to the development of musculoskeletal and respiratory disorders. Therefore, the investigation of the level of physical activity and to verifying which factors are associated with the physical activity level in hospitalized patients might be important for future strategies to ...
Background Understanding fluctuations in lifestyle indicators is important to identify relevant time periods to intervene in order to promote a healthy lifestyle; however, objective assessment of multiple lifestyle indicators has never been done using a repeated-measures design. The primary aim was, therefore, to examine between-season and within-week variation in physical ...
Background Overweight and obesity has become a serious public health problem in many parts of the world. Studies suggest that making small changes in daily activity levels such as “breaking-up” sedentary time (i.e., standing) may help mitigate the health risks of sedentary behavior. The aim of the present study ...
Abstract This study examines the association between objectively-measured physical activity (PA) intensities and sedentary behaviour (SED) in a cohort of 532 children aged 8-10 y. PA and SED were assessed by accelerometer over 7-days. Television and computer/video-game use were self-reported. Associations between PA intensities and SED variables were assessed by ...
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 ...
Objective To investigate the independent associations between objectively measured levels of movement intensity (i.e. time spent sedentary and at light, moderate and vigorous intensities) and indicators of adiposity in a cohort of Canadian children. Methods A cross-sectional study was conducted in 550 Caucasian children aged 8–10 years with at least one ...
Objective To describe the associations among moderate-to-vigorous physical activity (MVPA), fitness, sedentary behavior (SB), and insulin sensitivity (IS). Research Designs & Methods Data were drawn from the baseline assessment of the QUALITY cohort, which included 630 white youth (aged 8–10 years at recruitment), with at least one obese biological parent. IS was ...
Introduction The prolonged length of stay on the bed is related to the development of musculoskeletal and respiratory disorders. Therefore, the investigation of the level of physical activity and to verifying which factors are associated with the physical activity level in hospitalized patients might be important for future strategies to ...
Background Accurate objective assessment of sedentary and physical activity behaviours during childhood is integral to the understanding of their relation to later health outcomes, as well as to documenting the frequency and distribution of physical activity within a population. Purpose To calibrate the ActiGraph GT1M accelerometer, using energy expenditure (...
