Physical Inactivity in the Baltic Countries

Preventive Medicine, 2000
Physical inactivity is a known risk factor for heart disease and obesity, two major health problems in the Baltic Republics. This study examined patterns of physical activity level in these countries, and correlates of leisure-time sedentary behavior.Data from three national surveys of adults conducted in Estonia, Latvia, and Lithuania in 1997 were ...

Metabolic consequences of physical inactivity

Journal of Renal Nutrition, 2005
Physical inactivity is associated with alteration of normal physiologic processes leading to muscle atrophy, reduced exercise capacity, insulin resistance, and altered energy balance. Bed rest studies in human beings using stable isotopes of amino acids indicate that muscle unloading decreases the turnover rates of muscle and whole-body proteins, with ...

Genetics of Physical Activity and Physical Inactivity in Humans

Behavior Genetics, 2012
Emerging evidence suggests that physical activity and sedentary behavior [reflected in physical inactivity (PI)], might be two different phenotypes that may have distinct underlying physiological mechanisms. The purpose of this review is to summarize the existing literature on the genetic determinants of PA and PI phenotypes in humans, considering them

Assessment of physical activity in inactive populations

Medicine & Science in Sports & Exercise, 1985
The ability to index activity objectively in disabled or impaired activity populations is critical for our understanding of the long-term health consequences of reduced activity. The current research employed the large-scale integrated activity monitor as an objective measure of free living daily activity in 28 subjects with traumatic spinal cord ...

Physical inactivity

Nature Reviews Nephrology, 2017
Regular physical activity is associated with an increased quality of life and reduced morbidity and mortality in the general population and in patients with chronic kidney disease (CKD). Physical activity, cardiorespiratory fitness, and muscle mass decrease even in the early stages of CKD, and continue to decrease with disease progression; notably ...

Physical Activity, Inactivity, and Health

Pediatric Exercise Science, 2015
Background:The total activity volume performed is an overall measure that takes into account the frequency, intensity, and duration of activities performed. The importance of considering total activity volume is shown by recent studies indicating that light physical activity (LPA) and intermittent moderate-to-vigorous physical activity (MVPA) have ...

Physical inactivity and health

2021
Across the world, physical inactivity is responsible for five million deaths every year, and one in six deaths in the UK. This chapter explains how physical inactivity and sedentary behaviour have been rising over time, a phenomenon called the physical activity transition.

Physical Inactivity in Youth

ACSM'S Health & Fitness Journal, 2018
Physical inactivity has been identified by the World Health Organization (WHO) as the fourth leading risk factor for global mortality. Increased physical activity in youth may improve cardiovascular and metabolic disease risk profiles; augment bone mineral density; reduce symptoms of depression ...
