Physical Activity and Quality of Life in Severely Obese Adults during a Two-Year Lifestyle Intervention Programme
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2015)It is unknown how changes in physical activity may affect changes in quality of life (QoL) outcomes during lifestyle interventions for severely obese adults. The purpose of this study was to examine associations in the ... -
Physical activity and sedentary time are positively associated with academic performance: A 3-year longitudinal study
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2019)Background: To analyze the longitudinal association between academic performance and moderate to vigorous physical activity (MVPA), vigorous physical activity (VPA), and sedentary (SED) in a 3-year longitudinal study. A ... -
Physical Activity and Sedentary Time Associations with Metabolic Health Across Weight Statuses in Children and Adolescents
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2017)Objective: The aim of this study was to examine the prevalence of metabolic health across weight statuses and the associations of physical activity and sedentary time within and across metabolic health-weight status groups. ... -
Physical activity attenuates metabolic risk of adolescents with overweight or obesity: the ICAD multi-country study
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2020)Background: Although the benefits of physical activity (PA) at an early age are well established, there is no robust evidence of the role of PA as well as its intensities in attenuating the association between weight status ... -
Physical activity intensity profiles associated with cardiometabolic risk in middle-aged to older men and women
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2022)Accelerometers provide detailed data about physical activity (PA) across the full intensity spectrum. However, when examining associations with health, results are often aggregated to only a few summary measures [e.g. time ... -
Physical activity intensity, bout-duration, and cardiometabolic risk markers in children and adolescents
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2018)Objectives: To determine the role of physical activity intensity and bout-duration in modulating associations between physical activity and cardiometabolic risk markers. Methods: A cross-sectional study using the International ... -
Physical Activity Is Associated with Weight Loss and Increased Cardiorespiratory Fitness in Severely Obese Men and Women Undergoing Lifestyle Treatment
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2012)We aimed to examine the relationship between physical activity (PA) and change in body weight and cardiorespiratory fitness (CRF) in severely obese men and women. Thirty-five subjects (10 men, body mass index 43.2 ± 5.1 ... -
