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)
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 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 and ... -
Height and body-mass index trajectories of school-aged children and adolescents from 1985 to 2019 in 200 countries and territories: A pooled analysis of 2181 population-based studies with 65 million participants
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2020)Background: Comparable global data on health and nutrition of school-aged children and adolescents are scarce. We aimed to estimate age trajectories and time trends in mean height and mean body-mass index (BMI), which ... -
Influence of adiposity and physical activity on the cardiometabolic association pattern of lipoprotein subclasses to aerobic fitness in prepubertal children
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2021)Aerobic fitness (AF) and lipoprotein subclasses associate to each other and to cardiovascular health. Adiposity and physical activity (PA) influence the association pattern of AF to lipoproteins almost inversely making it ... -
Influence of parental overweight on the association of birth weight and fat distribution later in childhood
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2012)Objective: To examine whether the association between birth weight and fat distribution in childhood is modified by parental overweight. Methods: Cross-sectional study of 728 Danish children aged 8–10 and 14–16 years. The ... -
Intake of liquid and solid sucrose in relation to changes in body fatness over 6 years among 8- to 10-year-old children: the European Youth Heart Study
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2012)Objective: To examine if intake of soft drinks is more closely associated with weight gain than other energy sources and if these associations are mediated through differences in energy intake or insulin level. Methods: ... -
LCoMotion - Learning, cognition and motion: a multicomponent cluster randomized school-based intervention aimed at increasing learning and cognition - rationale, design and methods.
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2014-09-18)The aim of the study; LCoMotion – Learning, Cognition and Motion was to develop, document, and evaluate a multi-component physical activity (PA) intervention in public schools in Denmark. The primary outcome was cognitive ... -
Longitudinal associations of physical activity, sedentary time, and cardiorespiratory fitness with arterial health in children–the PANIC study
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2021)We investigated the longitudinal associations of physical activity (PA), sedentary time (ST), and cardiorespiratory fitness (CRF) with arterial health among children. In our primary analyses, we investigated 245 children ... -
More of the same or a change of scenery: An observational study of variety and frequency of physical activity in British children
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2013-08-16)Physical activity is important for children’s health, but successful physical activity promotion is challenging. Whether performing many different types of activities (Variety) is associated with higher physical activity ... -
Multicollinear physical activity accelerometry data and associations to cardiometabolic health: Challenges, pitfalls, and potential solutions
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 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 ... -
"My own way of moving" - movement improvisation in children's rehabilitation
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2011)This article investigates the ways that children with different motor disabilities move in an improvisational context. We developed and implemented a one-year long movement improvisation program in which 12 children with ... -
Neuromuscular training warm-up prevents acute noncontact lower extremity injuries in children's soccer: A cluster randomized controlled trial
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2021)Background: Prevention of sports injuries is essential in youth, as injuries are associated with less future physical activity and thus greater all-cause morbidity.Purpose:To investigate whether a neuromuscular training ... -
Objectively measured physical activity and sedentary time in youth: the International children’s accelerometry database (ICAD).
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2015-09-17)Background: Physical activity and sedentary behaviour in youth have been reported to vary by sex, age, weight status and country. However, supporting data are often self-reported and/or do not encompass a wide range ... -
Organized sport participation is associated with higher levels of overall health-related physical activity in children (CHAMPS study-DK)
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2015-08-11)Introduction: Many children fail to meet international guideline recommendations for health-related activity (≥60 minutes/day of moderate-to-vigorous physical activity [MVPA]), and intervention studies to date have ... -
Performance in youth track and field is associated with birth quartile: A register-based study among athletes in Norway from 10 years to senior level
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2022)Introduction: Earlier studies have demonstrated that the oldest in a competition class are more likely to succeed than the youngest, a phenomenon called relative age effect (RAE). Track and field give us an opportunity to ... -
