Impact of COVID-19 Stay-at-Home Restrictions on Employment Status, Physical Activity, and Sedentary Behavior.

Background: North Americans report insufficient moderate-to-vigorous physical activity (MVPA) and ample sedentary behaviors (SBs), suggesting possible barriers to an active lifestyle. This study compared self-reported MVPA and SB before and during COVID-19 "Stay-at-Home" restrictions as a potential barrier across North America.

Methods: Questionnaires were distributed from 21 April to 9 May 2020.

Feasibility of Using Bioelectrical Impedance Analysis for Assessing Youth Weight and Health Status: Preliminary Findings.

This study assessed the accuracy of bioimpedance analysis (BIA) for measuring body composition and resting metabolic rate (RMR) in fasted and non-fasted state and the prospect of using phase angle (PA) to indicate cellular health in youth. BIA body composition, RMR, and hydration measures were compared to dual-energy -ray absorptiometry (DXA), MedGem metabolic analyzer, and urine specific gravity, respectively, at baseline in a fasted state using one-way ANOVAs. Repeated BIAs at 0, 30, 60, 90, and 120 min post-prandial were compared to baseline using repeated-measures ANOVA.
