Journal ArticleDOI

Socio-economic determinants of physical activity across the life course: A "DEterminants of DIet and Physical ACtivity" (DEDIPAC) umbrella literature review

TL;DR: Findings suggest that for adults, convincing evidence supports a relationship between PA and socioeconomic status (SES), especially in relation to leisure time (positive relationship) and occupational PA (negative relationship).
Journal ArticleDOI

A life course examination of the physical environmental determinants of physical activity behaviour: A “Determinants of Diet and Physical Activity” (DEDIPAC) umbrella systematic literature review

TL;DR: This umbrella SLR provided a comprehensive overview of the physical environment determinants of physical activity across the life course and has highlighted a number of key determinants that may be associated with overall physical activity.
Journal ArticleDOI

Psychological determinants of physical activity across the life course: a "DEterminants of DIet and Physical ACtivity" (DEDIPAC) umbrella systematic literature review.

TL;DR: It is found probable evidence that receiving encouragement from significant others and having a companion for PA were associated with higherPA in children and adolescents, and that parental marital status and experiencing parental modeling were not associated with PA in children.
Journal ArticleDOI

Behavioral determinants of physical activity across the life course : a “DEterminants of DIet and Physical ACtivity” (DEDIPAC) umbrella systematic literature review

TL;DR: Although the majority of the evidence was limited and most of the determinants were not associated with PA, this umbrella SLR provided a comprehensive overview of the associations between behavioral determinants and PA.
Journal ArticleDOI

A comparison of dual energy X-ray absorptiometry and bioelectrical impedance analysis to measure total and segmental body composition in healthy young adults

TL;DR: Compared to dual energy X-ray absorptiometry, bioelectrical impedance analysis underestimates the total body fat mass and overestimates fat free mass in healthy young adults and should, therefore, be used with caution in the measurement of total body composition in women and men with >25% total bodyfat.
