Adults' sedentary behavior determinants and interventions.

TL;DR: An ecologic model of sedentary behaviors is described, highlighting the behavior settings construct and the multiple levels of determinants of prolonged sitting time, which are likely to operate in distinct ways in these different contexts.

Daily sitting time and all-cause mortality: a meta-analysis.

TL;DR: Higher amounts of daily total sitting time are associated with greater risk of all-cause mortality and moderate-to-vigorous physical activity appears to attenuate the hazardous association, providing a starting point for identifying a threshold on which to base clinical and public health recommendations for overall sitting time, in addition to physical activity guidelines.

Sedentary behaviour and risk of all-cause, cardiovascular and cancer mortality, and incident type 2 diabetes: a systematic review and dose response meta-analysis

TL;DR: Independent of PA, total sitting and TV viewing time are associated with greater risk for several major chronic disease outcomes, and for all-cause and CVD mortality, a threshold of 6–8 h/day of total Sitting and 3–4 h / day of TV viewing was identified, above which the risk is increased.

Amount of time spent in sedentary behaviors and cause-specific mortality in US adults

TL;DR: Time spent in sedentary behaviors was positively associated with mortality, and participation in high levels of MVPA did not fully mitigate health risks associated with prolonged time watching television.

Statistical methods for assessing agreement between two methods of clinical measurement.

TL;DR: An alternative approach, based on graphical techniques and simple calculations, is described, together with the relation between this analysis and the assessment of repeatability.

Statistical methods for assessing agreement between two methods of clinical measurement

TL;DR: In this article, an alternative approach, based on graphical techniques and simple calculations, is described, together with the relation between this analysis and the assessment of repeatability, which is often used in clinical comparison of a new measurement technique with an established one.

Compendium of physical activities: an update of activity codes and MET intensities.

TL;DR: An updated version of the Compendium of Physical Activities, a coding scheme that classifies specific physical activity (PA) by rate of energy expenditure, is provided to enhance the comparability of results across studies using self-reports of PA.
