..This study investigated whether change in travel mode to/from school was associated with change in physical activity among young people transitioning from primary to secondary school...

..We investigated whether objectively measured sedentary time and interruptions in sedentary time are associated with metabolic factors in people with type 2 diabetes...

..However, the contribution that active commuting to school makes to overall physical activity is unknown. This study used objective measurement to investigate the physical activity patterns of children by mode of travel to school...

..Walking to school is associated with higher levels of physical activity, but the contribution of the journey itself to physical activity before school is unknown...

..The purpose of this study was to investigate whether the way that children and adolescents travel to school is associated with level of cardiovascular fitness...

..Active commuting to school by walking or bicycle is widely promoted to increase children's physical activity. However, there is little data to describe the impact that travel mode, and in particular cycling, may have on activity levels...

..To investigate whether change in transport to school from non-cycling to cycling was associated with change in cardio-respiratory fitness (CRF) over a six-year follow-up...

..To guide future prevention efforts, data were used from the Danish arm of the European Youth Heart Study to examine these issues...

..This study examined the feasibility of conducting a cluster randomized controlled trial (RCT) to evaluate an after-school dance program to increase PA among 11-12 year old girls in Bristol, UK...

..Active travel is a possible method to increase physical activity in children, but the precise contribution of walking to school to daily physical activity is unclear...

..To quantify the volume and intensity of children's physical activity after school in greenspace and elsewhere...

..It is not clear the extent to which change in adiposity and cardiovascular fitness (CRF) during early childhood are associated with change in cardiovascular risk factors or if associations are independent or interactive...

..The study's purpose was to examine whether friendship factors predict discretionary physical activity after the transition to secondary school...

....

..Advances in treatment have resulted in an increasing population of adults with congenital heart disease. Few data are available on physical activity levels and attitude to exercise in this group...

....

..However limited research has focused on whether children's school-time physical activity is associated with the school they attend. This paper investigates the school effect on children's physical activity...

..abstract:..

..There is a lack of information about the factors that would affect girls' recruitment and retention in an after-school dance programme...

..abstract:..

..To explore the developmental origins of cardiorespiratory fitness...

..We investigated the association of nocturnal sleep duration with body fatness, energy, and macronutrient intake in female adults...

..Very limited physical activity data exist that have been collected from representative samples of children and even fewer data collected where physical activity has been measured using objective methods...

..The aim of this study was to investigate whether a home-based physical activity program meeting current guidelines improved the lipid profile of hypercholesterolaemic men...

..The rising prevalence of obesity in children may be due to a reduction in physical activity (PA)...

..This cross-sectional study examined the association between fitness and clustered CVD risk in children and adolescents from three European countries...
