Physical activity, sedentary behavior, and long-term cardiovascular risk in young people: A review and discussion of methodology in prospective studies
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2016-06)The long-term effects of physical activity (PA) or sedentary behavior on cardiovascular health in young people are not well understood. In this study, we use a narrative format to review the evidence for a prospective ... -
Physical activity, sedentary time and adiposity during the first two decades of life
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2014-02-19)High amounts of time spent sedentary and low levels of physical activity have been implicated in the process of excessive adiposity gains in youth. The aim of this review is to discuss the role of physical activity, sedentary ... -
The physical behaviour intensity spectrum and body mass index in school-aged youth: A compositional analysis of pooled individual participant data
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2022)We examined the compositional associations between the intensity spectrum derived from incremental acceleration intensity bands and the body mass index (BMI) z-score in youth, and investigated the estimated differences in ... -
Predictive validity and classification accuracy of actigraph energy expenditure equations and cut-points in young children
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2013-11-11)Objectives: Evaluate the predictive validity of ActiGraph energy expenditure equations and the classification accuracy of physical activity intensity cut-points in preschoolers. Methods: Forty children aged 4–6 years ... -
Prenatal, birth and early life predictors of sedentary behavior in young people: a systematic review
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2016-06-07)Background: Our aim was to systematically summarize the evidence on whether prenatal, birth and early life factors up to 6 years of age predict sedentary behavior in young people (≤18 years). Methods: PRISMA guidelines ... -
Prevention and rehabilitation of paediatric anterior cruciate ligament injuries
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2015-11-14)Purpose: To review the current knowledge on anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) injury prevention and ACL rehabilitation in individuals who have not yet reached musculoskeletal maturity. Methods: This is a narrative ... -
Prospective association of adiposity and cardiorespiratory fitness with cardiovascular risk factors in healthy children
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2014-01-08)This study aimed to examine the prospective association of three different measures of adiposity and cardiorespiratory fitness (CRF) with 2-year change in cardiovascular disease (CVD) risk factors in children. Two-year ... -
Quantification of underestimation of physical activity during cycling to school when using accelerometry
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2015-05)Background: Cycling to and from school is an important source of physical activity (PA) in youth but it is not captured by the dominant objective method to quantify PA. The aim of this study was to quantify the underestimation ... -
The relative age effect in German 11- to 18-year-old male and female swimmers
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2020)Relatively older athletes have a greater probability of being selected and subsequently exposed to a higher level of coaching, training and other talent-promoting factors. Grouping by chronological age is, therefore, ... -
Reliability and validity of PedsQL for Portuguese children aged 5–7 and 8–12 years
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2014-09-11)Background: Pediatric Quality of Life Inventory (PedsQL) is a measure to assess health-related quality of life (HRQoL) in children and adolescents. It is formed by 23 items adapted to children age and includes a parent ... -
Reliability of the Norwegian version of the children's assessment of participation and enjoyment (CAPE) and preferences for activities of children (PAC)
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2013-05)This study examined test–retest reliability of the Norwegian version of Children's Assessment of Participation and Enjoyment (CAPE), and Preferences for Activities of Children (PAC) in children with and without disabilities. ... -
Reproducibility of objectively measured physical activity and sedentary time over two seasons in children; Comparing a day-by-day and a week-by-week approach
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2017)Introduction: Knowledge of reproducibility of accelerometer-determined physical activity (PA) and sedentary time (SED) estimates are a prerequisite to conduct high-quality epidemiological studies. Yet, estimates of ... -
Six physical education lessons a week can reduce cardiovascular risk in school children aged 6–13 years: a longitudinal study
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2013-09-20)Aims: Cardiovascular disease (CVD) originates during childhood and adolescence. Schools are potentially effective settings for early public health prevention strategies. The aim of this study was to evaluate the effect of ... -
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 Andersen Aerobic Fitness Test: reliability and validity in 10-year-old children
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2014-10-17)Background: High aerobic fitness is consistently associated with a favorable metabolic risk profile in children. Direct measurement of peak oxygen consumption (VO2peak) is often not feasible, thus indirect tests such as ... -
