Objective Low physical activity (PA) levels are associated with increased mortality. Improved measurement has resulted in stronger proven associations between PA and mortality, but this has not yet translated to improved estimates of the disease burden attributable to low PA. This study estimated how much low PA reduces life expectancy, and how much life expectancy… Continue reading #Physical activity and life #expectancy: a life-table analysis

Accelerometer-Measured #Sedentary Behavior and Risk of Future #Cardiovascular Disease
BackgroundBeyond serving as a marker for insufficient physical activity, sedentary behavior may directly affect future cardiovascular (CV) disease risk.ObjectivesThis study sought to examine associations between accelerometer-measured sedentary behavior with risk of specific CV outcomes, including potential relations with moderate to vigorous physical activity (MVPA).MethodsAmong participants of the UK Biobank prospective cohort study, we fit Cox… Continue reading Accelerometer-Measured #Sedentary Behavior and Risk of Future #Cardiovascular Disease
Device-Measured 24-Hour Movement Behaviors and Blood #Pressure: A 6-Part Compositional Individual Participant Data Analysis in the ProPASS Consortium
BACKGROUND:Blood pressure (BP)–lowering effects of structured exercise are well-established. Effects of 24-hour movement behaviors captured in free-living settings have received less attention. This cross-sectional study investigated associations between a 24-hour behavior composition comprising 6 parts (sleeping, sedentary behavior, standing, slow walking, fast walking, and combined exercise-like activity [eg, running and cycling]) and systolic BP (SBP)… Continue reading Device-Measured 24-Hour Movement Behaviors and Blood #Pressure: A 6-Part Compositional Individual Participant Data Analysis in the ProPASS Consortium
A single bout of physical #exercise improves 1-hour post-load plasma #glucose in healthy young adults
PurposePhysical exercise is a key component in the treatment of type 2 diabetes and plays an important role in maintaining a healthy glucose metabolism even in healthy subjects. To date, no studies have investigated the effect of a single bout of aerobic physical exercise on glucose metabolism in young, moderately active, healthy adults.MethodsWe performed an… Continue reading A single bout of physical #exercise improves 1-hour post-load plasma #glucose in healthy young adults
Device-measured #stationary behaviour and #cardiovascular and orthostatic circulatory disease incidence
BackgroundPrevious studies have indicated that standing may be beneficially associated with surrogate metabolic markers, whereas more time spent sitting has an adverse association. Studies assessing the dose-response associations of standing, sitting and composite stationary behaviour time with cardiovascular disease (CVD) and orthostatic circulatory disease are scarce and show an unclear picture.ObjectiveTo examine associations of daily… Continue reading Device-measured #stationary behaviour and #cardiovascular and orthostatic circulatory disease incidence
Effects of reducing #sedentary behaviour on back pain, paraspinal muscle insulin sensitivity and muscle fat fraction and their associations: a secondary analysis of a 6-month randomised controlled trial
Objectives Sedentary behaviour (SB) is a plausible intervention target for back pain mitigation. Therefore, this study aimed to investigate the effects of a 6-month SB reduction intervention on back pain and related disability outcomes, and paraspinal muscle (ie, erector spinae and transversospinales separately) insulin sensitivity (glucose uptake, GU) and muscle fat fraction (FF).Methods Sixty-four adults… Continue reading Effects of reducing #sedentary behaviour on back pain, paraspinal muscle insulin sensitivity and muscle fat fraction and their associations: a secondary analysis of a 6-month randomised controlled trial
#Running is acceptable and efficacious in adults with non-specific chronic low #back pain: the ASTEROID randomised controlled trial
AbstractObjectives Running is one of the most accessible forms of exercise, yet its suitability for adults with chronic low back pain (LBP) is unknown. This study assessed the efficacy and acceptability of running in adults with chronic LBP.Methods This two-arm parallel (1:1) individually randomised controlled trial allocated 40 participants (mean (SD) age: 33 (6) years,… Continue reading #Running is acceptable and efficacious in adults with non-specific chronic low #back pain: the ASTEROID randomised controlled trial
#Accelerometer-derived ‘weekend warrior’ physical #activity pattern and #brain health
Extensive evidence shows the beneficial effect of adhering to a regular physical activity (PA) pattern on brain health. However, whether the ‘weekend warrior’ pattern, characterized by concentrated moderate-to-vigorous PA (MVPA) over 1–2 days, is associated with brain health is unclear. Here, we perform a prospective cohort study including 75,629 participants from the UK Biobank with validated… Continue reading #Accelerometer-derived ‘weekend warrior’ physical #activity pattern and #brain health
#Sitting Time and Its Interaction With #Physical Activity in Relation to All-Cause and #Heart Disease Mortality in U.S. Adults With Diabetes
To evaluate whether associations between sitting time and all-cause and heart disease mortality are modified by physical activity in adults with diabetes.RESEARCH DESIGN AND METHODSData came from 6,335 U.S. adults with diabetes from National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey 2007–2018 (baseline), with mortality follow-up through 2019. Sitting time and moderate to vigorous physical activity (MVPA)… Continue reading #Sitting Time and Its Interaction With #Physical Activity in Relation to All-Cause and #Heart Disease Mortality in U.S. Adults With Diabetes
