Time Spent in Moderate Intensity Physical Activity, but Not Sedentary Behavior is Related to Body Fat in Older Adults.
Background: Exercise has been shown to reduce total body fat in overweight older adults. Little is known about the relationship between physical activity (PA), sedentary behavior (SB) and obesity... Continue Reading >>>

Distinguishing True Sedentary From Accelerometer Non-wearing Time: Accuracy Of Two Automated Wear-time Estimations
As large-scale studies of sedentary time (as distinct from not meeting physical activity guidelines) are initiated, the extent to which automated estimations can distinguish non-wear time from periods of... Continue Reading >>>
