TL;DR: Assessment of associations of objectively measured physical activity with clustering of cardiovascular disease risk factors in children from Denmark, Estonia, and Portugal found levels should be higher than the current international guidelines of at at least 1 h per day of physical activity of at least moderate intensity.
Journal ArticleDOI

Journal ArticleDOI

Ulf Ekelund,Soren Brage,Karsten Froberg,Maarike Harro,Sigmund A. Anderssen,Luís B. Sardinha,Chris Riddoch,Lars Bo Andersen +7 more
TL;DR: TV viewing and PA may be separate entities and differently associated with adiposity and metabolic risk, whereas PA is associated with individual and clustered metabolic-risk indicators independently of obesity.
Journal ArticleDOI
