TL;DR: Examining associations of 12 established BMI variants in or near the NEGR1, SEC16B, TMEM18, ETV5, GNPDA2, BDNF, MTCH2, BCDIN3D, SH2B1, FTO, MC4R, and KCTD15 genes and their additive score with birth weight found some evidence of an association was found for theMTCH2 and FTO loci.
Journal ArticleDOI
The association of intensity and overall level of physical activity energy expenditure with a marker of insulin resistance
TL;DR: The association between PAEE and fasting insulin level, a marker of insulin resistance, may be attributable to the time spent in moderate-to-vigorous and vigorous activity, but not to time spent on light-intensity physical activity.
Journal ArticleDOI

Charlotte L. Ridgway,Ken K. Ong,Tuija Tammelin,Stephen J. Sharp,Ulf Ekelund,Marjo-Riitta Järvelin,Marjo-Riitta Järvelin +6 more
TL;DR: Earlier infant motor development may predict higher levels of physical activity as indicated by higher school PE grade, participation in a greater number of different types of sports and increased frequency of sports participation during adolescence.
Journal ArticleDOI
Energy expenditure assessed by heart rate and doubly labeled water in young athletes.
TL;DR: FLEX HR-estimated TEE was not affected by the definition of the FLEXHR or by the type of training regimen as compared with TEE measured by the DLW method in young athletes.
Journal ArticleDOI
