TL;DR: Higher ST and lower PA and CRF were associated with poorer cardiac autonomic nervous system function in children and lower CRF in boys and higher ST in girls were the strongest correlates of poorer heart autonomic function.
Journal ArticleDOI

TL;DR: In this article, the authors evaluated the association between physical activity and adiposity and found that higher objectively-measured moderate-to-vigorous physical activity was associated with lower body mass index, waist circumference, visceral abdominal fat, fat mass index and android/gynoid fat ratio.
Journal ArticleDOI
Free-Living Physical Activity Energy Expenditure Is Strongly Related to Glucose Intolerance in Cameroonian Adults Independently of Obesity
TL;DR: PAEE is inversely associated with 2-h glucose independently of adiposity or fitness, and interventions aimed at increasing PAEE could play an important role in diabetes prevention in developing countries.
Journal ArticleDOI

TL;DR: In this paper , a meta-analysis of genome-wide association studies yields 99 loci that associate with self-reported moderate-to-vigorous intensity physical activity during leisure time (MVPA), leisure screen time (LST) and/or sedentary behavior at work.
