Article Synopsis
- The study explored how different movement behaviors like sleep, sedentary behavior, light, and moderate-to-vigorous physical activity relate to depression and anxiety in adolescents.
- It involved 217 Brazilian teenagers who wore accelerometers for a week, and the analysis indicated that shifting time from sedentary behavior to light physical activity could improve mental health scores, while swapping light activity for moderate-to-vigorous activity might worsen them.
- The findings suggest that a balanced distribution of these activities throughout the day is important for mental health, highlighting the potential benefits of holistic interventions that address all types of movement behaviors.
Background: Female adolescents are considered a risk group for cardiometabolic disease due to their lifestyle (LS).
Objective: To evaluate the association between LS classes and body composition groups with cardiometabolic disease risk factors and pro- and anti-inflammatory biomarkers in female adolescents.
Methods: This cross-sectional study was carried out with female adolescents aged 14 to 19 years, from Viçosa-MG, Brazil.
Purpose: This study aimed to compare the energy expenditure and intensity of active video games to that of treadmill walking in children and adolescents.
Method: Seventy-two boys and girls (aged 8-13 years) were recruited from local public schools. Energy expenditure and heart rate were measured during rest, during 3-km/hr, 4-km/hr, and 5-km/hr walks, and during active games (Adventure, Boxing I, Boxing II, and Dance).
