Waist circumference thresholds and cardiorespiratory fitness
Journal of Sport and Health Science, 2019 This study's purpose was to examine whether established risk categories of waist circumference (WC)-normal, high risk, and very high health risk-reflected significant differences in cardiorespiratory fitness (CRF) and physical activity (PA) level.CRF was directly measured as maximal oxygen uptake during a progressive graded treadmill test to exhaustion

Measuring waist circumference in disabled adults
Research in Developmental Disabilities, 2010 To date, it is unknown whether waist circumference can be measured validly and reliably when a subject is in a supine position. This issue is relevant when international standards for healthy participants are applied to persons with severe intellectual, sensory, and motor disabilities.

Differences in physical activity time-use composition associated with cardiometabolic risks [PDF]
, 2019 This study investigates the association between the overall physical activity composition of the day (sedentary behavior (SB), light intensity physical activity (LIPA) and moderate-to-vigorous physical activity (MVPA)) and cardiometabolic health, and ...
