Do changes in mood and anxiety mediate exercise-induced reductions in alcohol cravings? An exploratory study.

Physical Inactivity and Sedentariness: Languorous Behavior Among Adolescents in 80 Countries.

Purpose: High rates of adolescent physical inactivity and sedentary behavior have been reported worldwide, but the combined prevalence of languorous behavior (physical inactivity and/or sedentary behavior) may more accurately reflect just how few adolescents meet World Health Organization recommendations.

Methods: We analyzed nationally representative data from 325,219 students in 80 countries that participated in the Global School-based Student Health Survey between 2009 and 2018. Students were classified as physically inactive if they reported engaging in moderate or vigorous physical activity less than 60 minutes daily.
