Journal ArticleDOI

Objectively measured physical activity in four-year-old British children: a cross-sectional analysis of activity patterns segmented across the day.

Kathryn R. Hesketh, +11 more
- 09 Jan 2014 - 
TL;DR: Preschool-aged children meet current physical activity guidelines, but with the majority of their active time spent in LPA, investigation of the importance of activity intensity in younger children is needed.
Journal ArticleDOI

Assessing physical activity using wearable monitors: measures of physical activity.

Nancy F. Butte, +2 more
- 01 Jan 2012 - 
TL;DR: The quantitative assessment of physical activity using wearable monitors is grounded in the measurement of energy expenditure and sensors and methods for quantitatively assessing physical activity should be validated in laboratory and free-living populations using criterion methods of calorimetry or doubly labeled water.
Journal ArticleDOI

Accelerometers and pedometers: methodology and clinical application.

Kirsten Corder, +2 more
- 01 Sep 2007 - 
TL;DR: This review examines recent literature on the validation of movement sensors to assess habitual physical activity and suggests new technologies, including the combination of accelerometry with the measurement of physiological parameters, have great potential for the increased accuracy of physical-activity assessment.
Journal ArticleDOI

Upward weight percentile crossing in infancy and early childhood independently predicts fat mass in young adults: the Stockholm Weight Development Study (SWEDES)

Ulf Ekelund, +7 more
- 01 Feb 2006 - 
TL;DR: It is hypothesized that rapid weight gains in infancy and early childhood are different processes and may allow separate opportunities for early intervention against obesity risk later in life.
Journal ArticleDOI

Comparisons of leisure-time physical activity and cardiorespiratory fitness as predictors of all-cause mortality in men and women

Duck-chul Lee, +8 more
- 01 May 2011 - 
TL;DR: CRF was more strongly associated with all-cause mortality than PA; therefore, improving CRF should be encouraged in unfit individuals to reduce risk of mortality and considered in the development of future PA guidelines.
