A closer look at the relationship among accelerometer-based physical activity metrics: ICAD pooled data
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2019)Background Accelerometers are widely used to assess child physical activity (PA) levels. Using the accelerometer data, several PA metrics can be estimated. Knowledge about the relationships between these different metrics ... -
Associations of lipoprotein particle profile and objectively measured physical activity and sedentary time in schoolchildren: a prospective cohort study
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2022)Background: Our understanding of the mechanisms through which physical activity might benefit lipoprotein metabolism is inadequate. Here we characterise the continuous associations between physical activity of different ... -
Behaviours that prompt primary school teachers to adopt and implement physically active learning: a meta synthesis of qualitative evidence
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2021)Background Physically active learning (PAL) - integration of movement within delivery of academic content - is a core component of many whole-of-school physical activity approaches. Yet, PAL intervention methods and ... -
Bi-directional prospective associations between objectively measured physical activity and fundamental motor skills in children: a two-year follow-up
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2020)Background: The direction of the longitudinal relationship between physical activity (PA) and fundamental motor skills (FMS) remains unclear. We evaluated the bi-directional, prospective relationships between intensity-specific ... -
Children’s moderate-to-vigorous physical activity on weekdays versus weekend days: a multi-country analysis
(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, ... -
Development and evaluation of the Capability, Opportunity, and Motivation to deliver Physical Activity in School Scale (COM-PASS)
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2024)Background Teachers are recognized as ‘key agents’ for the delivery of physical activity programs and policies in schools. The aim of our study was to develop and evaluate a tool to assess teachers’ capability, opportunity, ... -
The effect of a school-based intervention on physical activity, cardiorespiratory fitness and muscle strength: the School in Motion cluster randomized trial
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2020)Background Physical activity (PA) declines throughout adolescence, therefore PA promotion during this period is important. We analyzed the effect of two school-based PA interventions on daily PA levels, cardiorespiratory ... -
Gender differences in the distribution of children’s physical activity: evidence from nine countries
(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 ... -
Harmonising data on the correlates of physical activity and sedentary behaviour in young people: Methods and lessons learnt from the international Children's Accelerometry database (ICAD)
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2017)Background Large, heterogeneous datasets are required to enhance understanding of the multi-level influences on children’s physical activity and sedentary behaviour. One route to achieving this is through the pooling ... -
Initial insights into the impact and implementation of Creating Active Schools in Bradford, UK
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2023)Background Few whole-school physical activity programmes integrate implementation science frameworks within the design, delivery, and evaluation. As a result, knowledge of the key factors that support implementation at ... -
Leisure-time physical activity trajectories from adolescence to adulthood in relation to several activity domains: a 27-year longitudinal study
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2023)Background Insufficient physical activity (PA) levels among adolescents and adults make promoting PA a public health priority. Although most people exhibit low or decreasing levels of PA, other groups increase or maintain ... -
Longitudinal changes in device-measured physical activity from childhood to young adulthood: the PANCS follow-up study
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2024)Background There is a lack of longitudinal studies examining changes in device-measured physical activity and sedentary time from childhood to young adulthood. We aimed to assess changes in device-measured physical activity ... -
Multicollinear physical activity accelerometry data and associations to cardiometabolic health: Challenges, pitfalls, and potential solutions
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2019)Background: The analysis of associations between accelerometer-derived physical activity (PA) intensities and cardiometabolic health is a major challenge due to multicollinearity between the explanatory variables. This ... -
Play, Learn, and Teach Outdoors—Network (PLaTO‑Net): terminology, taxonomy, and ontology
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2022)Background A recent dialogue in the field of play, learn, and teach outdoors (referred to as “PLaTO” hereafter) demonstrated the need for developing harmonized and consensus-based terminology, taxonomy, and ontology for ... -
Reframing physically active learning as movement-centred pedagogy: a European priority action framework
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2023)Background Physically active learning (PAL) has emerged as a promising way of eliciting health and education-based outcomes for pupils. Concurrently, research suggests large variability in how PAL is perceived, operationalized, ... -
Resemblance in accelerometer-assessed physical activity in families with children: The Lolland-Falster Health Study
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2020)Background Evidence of intra-family resemblance in physical activity (PA) is lacking. The association between parent and child PA appears weak, the influence of age and gender on this association is uncertain, and no ... -
The structured health intervention for truckers (SHIFT) cluster randomised controlled trial: a mixed methods process evaluation
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2022)Background This paper presents the mixed methods process evaluation of the randomised controlled trial (RCT) of the Structured Health Intervention For Truckers (SHIFT), a multi-component intervention targeting physical ... -
Substituting prolonged sedentary time and cardiovascular risk in children and youth: a meta-analysis within the International Children’s Accelerometry database (ICAD)
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2019)Background Evidence on the association between sitting for extended periods (i.e. prolonged sedentary time (PST)) and cardio-metabolic health is inconsistent in children. We aimed to estimate the differences in cardio-metabolic ... -
Temporal trends in physical activity levels across more than a decade – a national physical activity surveillance system among Norwegian children and adolescents
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2021)Background There is a scarcity of device measured data on temporal changes in physical activity (PA) in large population-based samples. The purpose of this study is to describe gender and age-group specific temporal trends ... -
The multivariate physical activity signature associated with metabolic health in children
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2018)Background Physical activity is a cornerstone for promoting good metabolic health in children, but it is heavily debated which intensities (including sedentary time) are most influential. A fundamental limitation to current ...
