      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 and ...
    • Perceived family functioning and friendship quality: cross-sectional associations with physical activity and sedentary behaviours 

      Atkin, Andrew J.; Corder, Kirsten; Goodyer, Ian M.; Bamber, Diane J; Ekelund, Ulf; Brage, Søren; Dunn, Valerie J.; van Sluijs, Esther M.F. (Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2015-02-21)
      Background: This study examined the association of adolescent-reported family functioning and friendship quality with objectively-measured moderate to vigorous physical activity (MVPA), sedentary time, and self-reported ...
    • Physical activity behaviours in adolescence: current evidence and opportunities for intervention 

      van Sluijs, Esther M.F.; Ekelund, Ulf; Crochemore-Silva, Inacio; Guthold, Regina; Ha, Amy; Lubans, David; Oyeyemi, Adewale L.; Ding, Ding; Katzmarzyk, Peter T. (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2021)
      Young people aged 10–24 years constitute 24% of the world's population; investing in their health could yield a triple benefit—eg, today, into adulthood, and for the next generation. However, in physical activity research, ...
    • Revising on the run or studying on the sofa: prospective associations between physical activity, sedentary behaviour, and exam results in British adolescents. 

      Corder, Kirsten; Atkin, Andrew J.; Bamber, Diane J.; Brage, Søren; Dunn, Valerie J.; Ekelund, Ulf; Owens, Matthew; van Sluijs, Esther M.F.; Goodyer, Ian M. (Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2015-09-04)

    • Substituting prolonged sedentary time and cardiovascular risk in children and youth: a meta-analysis within the International Children’s Accelerometry database (ICAD) 

      Wijndaele, Katrien; White, Thomas; Andersen, Lars Bo; Bugge, Anna; Kolle, Elin; Northstone, Kate; Wedderkopp, Niels; Ried-Larsen, Mathias; Kriemler, Susi; Page, Angie S.; Puder, Jardena J.; Reilly, John J.; Sardinha, Luis B.; van Sluijs, Esther M.F.; Sharp, Stephen J.; Brage, Søren; Ekelund, Ulf (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 cardiometabolic ...
