Reduction in ambulatory distance from childhood through adolescence: The impact of the number and length of steps.

Background: The aim of this study was to explore the relationship between ambulatory distance with steps/day and increased step length as children age.

Methods: This is a prospective cohort study. Forty-five children from the QUALITY cohort were assessed at childhood (baseline) and seven years later during adolescence (follow-up).

Acute Impact of the Use of a Standing Desk on Appetite Sensations and Energy Intake.

Background: Sedentariness has been shown to increase energy intake and is associated with increased obesity prevalence. Active workstations are used to implement physical activity interventions in workplaces, but it is unclear if they can lead to reductions in body weight. This study aims to observe the acute impact of a standing desk on energy intake and appetite sensations.

Impact of Exercise Timing on Chemosensory Response, Appetite, and Energy Intake in Lean Males.

Background: High-intensity exercise can have an anorectic impact, leading to negative energy balance. Several studies have reported that the practice of physical activity could also cause a shift in perceptions and preferences, causing a change in food intakes.

Objective: This study aimed to question to what extent the timing of exercise in relation to a meal could have an impact on olfaction and gustation, appetite, and food choices.

Use of Active Workstations in Individuals with Overweight or Obesity: A Systematic Review.

Objective: This systematic review aims to collect existing literature and summarize the impact of active workstations on the health and work outcomes of participants with overweight or obesity.

Methods: Five databases were examined (until March 2018), and the keywords "desk," "workstation," "work station," and "work stations" were used with any one of the following terms: "active," "bik*," "cycling," "height adjustable," "stepping," "stand up," "standing," "treadmill*," "walk*," "elliptical," "bicycl*," "pedaling," "stability ball," "stability balls," "exercise ball," "exercise balls," "swiss ball," "swiss balls," "sit-to-stand," and "sit stand."

Results: Nineteen studies (two with school-aged children) were included in this review.
