Association of car ownership and physical activity across the spectrum of human development: Modeling the Epidemiologic Transition Study (METS)
David A. Shoham,Lara R. Dugas,Pascal Bovet,Terrence Forrester,Estelle V. Lambert,Jacob Plange-Rhule,Dale A. Schoeller,Soren Brage,Ulf Ekelund,Ramon Durazo-Arvizu,Richard S. Cooper,Amy Luke +11 more
TL;DR: PA levels are similar across all study sites except Jamaica, despite very different levels of socioeconomic development, and not owning a car in the US is associated with especially high levels of MVPA.
Journal ArticleDOI
Breaking-up sedentary time is associated with impairment in activities of daily living
Luís B. Sardinha,Ulf Ekelund,Leandro dos Santos,Edilson Serpeloni Cyrino,Analiza M. Silva,Diana A. Santos +5 more
TL;DR: The frequency of breaks in sedentary time in older ages is independently associated with lower risk for ADL impairments and physical dependence, and these findings support interventions to encourage older adults to increase overall PA by interrupting sedentaryTime.
Journal ArticleDOI
Comparability of accelerometer signal aggregation metrics across placements and dominant wrist cut points for the assessment of physical activity in adults.

Acosta,María Rodriguez-Ayllon,Irene Esteban-Cornejo,Irene Esteban-Cornejo,Abel Plaza-Florido,Jose J. Gil-Cosano,Ulf Ekelund,Vincent T. van Hees,Francisco B. Ortega,Francisco B. Ortega +18 more
TL;DR: This study aimed to assess the comparability of acceleration metrics between commonly-used body-attachment locations for 24 hours, waking and sleeping hours, and to test Comparability of PA cut points between dominant and non-dominant wrist.
Journal ArticleDOI
Effects of oxygen inhalation on cardiac output, coronary blood flow and oxygen delivery in healthy individuals, assessed with MRI.
TL;DR: The data indicate that O2 administration decreases CO, LV perfusion and systemic and coronary O2 delivery in healthy individuals, and further research should address the effects of O2 therapy in normoxic patients.
Journal ArticleDOI
Physical Activity and Blood Pressure in Primary School Children: A Longitudinal Study
Gemma Knowles,Miranda Pallan,G. Neil Thomas,Ulf Ekelund,Kar Keung Cheng,Thimothy Barrett,Peymane Adab +6 more
TL;DR: Evidence of a causal association between higher PA and lower BP in children as young as 5, independent of weight status is strengthened, and support for development of interventions to increase PA in young children is provided.
