Background: High sedentary time has been considered an important chronic disease risk factor but there is only limited information on the association of specific sedentary behaviors on weekdays and weekend-days with body composition. The present study examines the prospective association of total sedentary time and specific sedentary behaviors during weekdays and the weekend with body composition in young adults.
Methods: A total of 332 adults (50% male; 27.
Article Synopsis
- The study focused on how body composition, specifically lean mass and fat mass, relates to submaximal systolic blood pressure (SSBP) in young adult men with a BMI between 20 and 35 kg/m².
- Participants were divided into quintiles based on their lean mass percentage and fat mass index (FMI), with findings showing that higher lean mass percentages generally correlated with lower SSBP.
- In contrast, while higher BMI quintiles did not show significant differences in SSBP until the highest quintile, there was a clear J-curve relationship for SSBP with body composition metrics and a linear relationship with BMI.
Exercise is considered an important component of a healthy lifestyle but there remains controversy on effects of exercise on non-exercise physical activity (PA). The present study examined the prospective association of aerobic and resistance exercise with total daily energy expenditure and PA in previously sedentary, young men. Nine men (27.

- The study explored how cardiorespiratory fitness (CRF), body fat percentage (BF%), and body mass index (BMI) relate to submaximal systolic blood pressure (SSBP) in young adult women.
- Significant findings show that higher BF% and BMI correlate with increased SSBP, while better CRF is linked to lower SSBP during lower intensity exercise.
- The impact of CRF and BF% diminishes at higher exercise intensity, with BMI showing a stronger association during these stages.
Objectives: Exercise blood pressure is a marker of future cardiovascular morbidity and mortality among individuals with or without high resting BP or any other cardiovascular disease (CVD) signs and symptoms at present. The purpose of this study was to evaluate the association between SBP during submaximal exercise and cardiorespiratory fitness (CRF) among young men. Further, we investigated the trend displayed by submaximal SBP (SSBP) across different levels of CRF.
