      Brazendale, Keith; Beets, Michael W.; Armstrong, Bridget; Weaver, R. Glenn; Hunt, Ethan T.; Pate, Russell R.; Brusseau, Timothy A.; Bohnert, Amy M.; Olds, Timothy; Tassitano, Rafael M.; Tenorio, Maria Cecilia M.; Garcia, Jeanette; Andersen, Lars Bo; Davey, Rachel; Hallal, Pedro C.; Jago, Russell; Kolle, Elin; Kriemler, Susi; Kristensen, Peter L.; Kwon, Soyang; Puder, Jardena J.; Salmon, Jo; Sardinha, Luís B.; van Sluijs, Esther M.F. (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2021)
      Purpose The Structured Days Hypothesis (SDH) posits that children’s behaviors associated with obesity – such as physical activity – are more favorable on days that contain more ‘structure’ (i.e., a pre-planned, segmented, ...
    • Gender differences in the distribution of children’s physical activity: evidence from nine countries 

      Kretschmer, Luke; Salali, Gul Deniz; Andersen, Lars Bo; Hallal, Pedro C.; Northstone, Kate; Sardinha, Luís B.; Dyble, Mark; Bann, David (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2023)
      Background: Physical activity in childhood is thought to influences health and development. Previous studies have found that boys are typically more active than girls, yet the focus has largely been on differences in average ...

    • Physical activity attenuates metabolic risk of adolescents with overweight or obesity: the ICAD multi-country study 

      Werneck, André O.; Silva, Danilo R.; Oyeyemi, Adewale L.; Fernandes, Rômulo A.; Steene-Johannessen, Jostein; Andersen, Lars Bo; Northstone, Kate; Sardinha, Luís B. (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2020)
