(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2015-11)Robert L. Simon is a sport philosopher with many interests. He is not only interested in advanced theoretical matters but in seemingly mundane affairs, such as the question about the role of sports on campus. The question ... -
Accelerometer epoch setting is decisive for associations between physical activity and metabolic health in children
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2019)When analysing physical activity (PA) levels using accelerometry, the epoch setting is critical to capture intensity-specific PA correctly. The aim of the present study was to investigate the PA intensity signatures related ... -
Accelerometer-determined physical activity and walking capacity in persons with Down syndrome, Williams syndrome and Prader-Willi syndrome
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2013-10-18)In this study we describe by use of accelerometers the total physical activity (PA), intensity pattern and walking capacity in 87 persons age 16–45 years with Down syndrome (DS), Williams syndrome (WS) and Prader–Willi ... -
Accelerometer-measured physical activity and sedentary time differ according to education level in young adults
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2016-07-12)This study examined the association of education level with objectively measured physical activity and sedentary time in young adults. Data from the Finnish ESTER study (2009– 2011) (n = 538 was used to examine the association ... -
Accelerometer-measured physical activity and sedentary time in a cohort of US adults followed for up to 13 years: The influence of removing early follow-up on associations with mortality
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2020)Background: Observational studies linking physical activity with mortality are susceptible to reverse causation bias from undiagnosed and prevalent diseases. Researchers often attempt to deal with reverse causation bias ... -
Accelerometer-measured physical activity is not associated with two-year weight change in African-origin adults from five diverse populations
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2017-01-19)Background. Increasing population-levels of physical activity (PA) is a controversial strategy for managing the obesity epidemic, given the conflicting evidence for weight loss from PA alone per se. We measured PA and ... -
