2nd Physical activity almanac
The global observatory for physical activity (GoPA)
Dit rapport bevat van 217 landen informatie over o.a. algemene informatie over het land (inwonertal, levensverwachting) aantal doodsoorzaken gerelateerd aan inactiviteit prevalentie van lichaamsbeweging, inwoners van 18 jaar en ouder…
Striking the right balance: evidence to inform combined physical activity and sedentary behavior recommendations
Background: Crucial evidence gaps regarding: (1) the joint association of physical activity and sedentary time with health outcomes and (2) the benefits of light-intensity physical activity were identified during the…
Towards better evidence-informed global action: lessons learnt from the Lancet series and recent developments in physical activity and public health
In the past few decades, the field of physical activity has grown and evolved in scope, depth, visibility and impact around the world. Global progress has been observed in research…
Associations between accelerometry measured physical activity and sedentary time and the metabolic syndrome
A meta‐analysis of more than 6000 children and adolescents
Background: Metabolic syndrome is increasingly prevalent in the pediatric population. To prevent an early onset, knowledge about its association with modifiable lifestyle factors is needed. Objectives: To estimate the prevalence…
Dose-response associations between accelerometry measured physical activity and sedentary time and all cause mortality
Systematic review and harmonised meta-analysis
Objective: To examine the dose-response associations between accelerometer assessed total physical activity, different intensities of physical activity, and sedentary time and all cause mortality. Results: 39 studies were retrieved for…
Sitting time, physical activity, and risk of mortality in adults
The purpose of this study was to examine the joint and stratified associations of sitting and MVPA with all-cause and cardiovascular disease (CVD) mortality, and to estimate the theoretical effect…
Does physical activity attenuate, or even eliminate, the detrimental association of sitting time with mortality?
A harmonised meta-analysis of data from more than 1 million men and women
High levels of moderate intensity physical activity (ie, about 60–75 min per day) seem to eliminate the increased risk of death associated with high sitting time. However, this high activity…
Is the time right for quantitative public health guidelines on sitting?
A narrative review of sedentary behaviour research paradigms and findings
Sedentary behaviour (SB) has been proposed as an ‘independent’ risk factor for chronic disease risk, attracting much research and media attention. Many countries have included generic, non-quantitative reductions in SB…
Effects of physical activity on schoolchildren's academic performance
The Active Smarter Kids (ASK) cluster-randomized controlled trial
Objective: To investigate the effect of a seven-month, school-based cluster-randomized controlled trial on academic performance in 10-year-old children. Methods: In total, 1129 fifth-grade children from 57 elementary schools in Sogn…
The potential yield of non-exercise physical activity energy expenditure in public health
Previous work has shown prospective associations between total daily physical activity energy expenditure and various health outcomes including metabolic risk. Limited evidence is available on the health benefits of standing…
