Young people (18–25 years) during the adolescence/adulthood transition are vulnerable to weight gain and notoriously hard to reach. Despite increased levels of overweight/obesity in this age group, physical activity behaviour, a major contributor to
Winners are declared every day and players with an excess of activity points can spend some to get hints in mental games of the suite, like Sudoku. The racing game runs in the background throughout the day and every little move counts. As the gaming platform is embedded in the daily ...
The normalisation was undertaken to enable comparing activity accumulation along the intensity gradation between children and adults and should not be confused with actual MET val- ues. That is, MAD intensities do not increase linearly with increasing metabolic load, and therefore the MAD intensity ...
The nature of human movement and non-movement behaviors is complex and multifaceted, making their study complicated and challenging. Thanks to the availability of wearable activity monitors, we can now monitor the full spectrum of physical activity, sede
Participation in organised youth sports (OYS) has been recommended as an opportunity to increase young peoples’ moderate-to-vigorous physical activity (MVPA) levels. Participants, however, spend a considerable proportion of time during OYS inactive. The purpose of this study, therefore, was to inve...
Recent studies have shown reduced physical activity at early stages of the COVID-19 pandemic. However, there is a lack of investigation on longitudinal changes in physical activity beyond lockdowns and stay-at-home orders. Moreover, it is unclear if ther
PowerUP was assessed through the ball push test. From a standing position the children had to push a 1 kg medicine ball starting in front of the chest with both hands as far as they could for two times; the better of two test trials of longest pushing distance was used in the analysis...
OBJECTIVE: To assess the total daily energy expenditure (TDEE), milk output and physical activity level (PAL) of chronically malnourished lactating women using the doubly labelled water method (DLW). DESIGN: Prospective, longitudinal study designed to assess the extent of malnutrition and energetics ...
gradually diminished in many countries starting in the second half of 2021 [42,43,44,45]. The search items were grouped into four components: (1) physical activity (physical activity OR exercise OR sport), (2) mental health (mental health OR mental problem OR mental illness OR mental disord...
Furthermore, body composition, particularly adipose tissue and muscle mass, fluctu- ates with changes in the level of physical activity [3]. Thus, some of the differences in insulin secretion be- tween physically active and inactive subjects may be related to the degree of obesity. In the ...
