Sedentary behaviour in Australian university students: The contribution of study‐related sedentary behaviour to total sedentary behaviour

open access: yesHealth Promotion Journal of Australia, 2023
AbstractIssue AddressedSeated activities are attributed to increased sedentary behaviour (SB) and adverse health effects, but little is currently known about university students' SB, particularly study‐related SB. This study describes the sociodemographic variations of domain‐specific SB in regional Australian university students and the contribution ...

Objective measurement of habitual sedentary behavior in pre-school children: comparison of activPAL with actigraph monitors [PDF]

open access: yes, 2011
The Actigraph is well established for measurement of both physical activity and sedentary behavior in children. The activPAL is being used increasingly in children, though with no published evidence on its use in free-living children to date.

Research priorities for child and adolescent physical activity and sedentary behaviours : an international perspective using a twin-panel Delphi procedure [PDF]

open access: yes, 2013
BACKGROUND: The quantity and quality of studies in child and adolescent physical activity and sedentary behaviour have rapidly increased, but research directions are often pursued in a reactive and uncoordinated manner.

Comparison of accelerometry cut points for physical activity and sedentary behavior in pre-school children : a validation study [PDF]

open access: yes, 2012
This study compared accelerometry cut points for sedentary behavior, light and moderate to vigorous intensity activity (MVPA) against a criterion measure, the Children’s Activity Rating Scale (CARS), in preschool children.

Physiology of sedentary behavior

open access: yesPhysiological Reviews, 2023
Sedentary behaviors (SB) are characterized by low energy expenditure while in a sitting or reclining posture. Evidence relevant to understanding the physiology of SB can be derived from studies employing several experimental models: bed rest, immobilization, reduced step count, and reducing/interrupting prolonged SB.

Breaks in Sedentary Time [PDF]

open access: yesDiabetes Care, 2008
OBJECTIVE—Total sedentary (absence of whole-body movement) time is associated with obesity, abnormal glucose metabolism, and the metabolic syndrome. In addition to the effects of total sedentary time, the manner in which it is accumulated may also be important. We examined the association of breaks in objectively measured sedentary time with biological

Sedentary Death Syndrome [PDF]

open access: yesCanadian Journal of Applied Physiology, 2004
Sedentary death syndrome (SeDS) is a major public health burden due to its causing multiple chronic diseases and millions of premature deaths each year. Despite the impact of physical inactivity, very little is known about the actual causes of physical inactivity-induced chronic diseases.

Early predictors of objectively measured physical activity and sedentary behaviour in 8-10 year old children : the Gateshead Millennium Study [PDF]

open access: yes, 2012
With a number of studies suggesting associations between early life influences and later chronic disease risk, it is suggested that associations between early growth and later physical activity (PA) may be a mediator. However, conflicting evidence exists
