Background: This study investigated associations between different types of sedentary behavior (SB) and physical activity (PA) in parent and their child, including the moderating effects of parent and child sex.
Methods: In total, 1231 adolescents, 1202 mothers, and 871 fathers were evaluated. The SB (TV viewing + computer + video game); different types of PA (leisure-time PA, occupational PA, and total PA); and the socioeconomic level were evaluated by questionnaire. The relationship between adolescents' SB and PA with parental characteristics was estimated by linear regression.
Results: The SB of male adolescents was correlated to the father's SB (β = 0.26; 95% confidence interval [CI], 0.13-0.39) and mother's SB (β = 0.18; 95% CI, 0.06-0.31). A similar relationship was observed between SB of female adolescents and the father's SB (β = 0.31; 95% CI, 0.19-0.42) and mother's SB (β = 0.29; 95% CI, 0.20-0.38]). The SB of girls was inversely related to mother's occupational PA (β = -2.62; 95% CI, -3.66 to -0.53]). The PA of the boys and girls was correlated with their fathers and mothers PA. All the results were adjusted for age and parent's socioeconomic level.
Conclusions: SB and PA of parents were associated with SB and PA of their children, regardless of gender. Strategies for health promotion should consider the family environment to increase PA and reduce SB.

Association between physical activity and sedentary behavior and gestational diabetes mellitus: a Mendelian randomization analysis.

Introduction: The evidence of association between physical activity (PA), sedentary behavior (SB) and gestational diabetes mellitus (GDM) remains controversial in observational studies, this study aimed to generate new hypotheses between PA, SB and GDM.
Methods: Our study performed Mendelian randomization (MR) analysis to explore the effects of three types of PA (moderate physical activity (MPA), moderate to vigorous physical activity (MVPA), accelerometer-based physical activity (ABPA)), three types of SB (television watching (TV), leisure computer use (PC), driving (DR)) on GDM and the mediating effect of body mass index (BMI). The inverse variance weighted method was used for the major analysis.
Associations of physical activity and sedentary time with cognitive skills in preschoolers: a longitudinal study from preschool to first grade of school.
BMC Pediatr

Institute of Sport Sciences and Physiotherapy, Faculty of Medicine, University of Tartu, Tartu, 51008, Estonia.
Backround: Low physical activity and high sedentary behaviour is a concern already during preschool period with potential impacts on children's future cognitive health in school. However, longitudinal data regarding the associations of physical activity, sedentary time and cognition at young age are limited, thus the aim of this study was to investigate whether objectively monitored moderate-to-vigorous physical activity (MVPA) and sedentary time at preschool age are related to cognitive skills in the first grade of school among boys and girls.
Methods: Participants were boys (n = 50, aged 6.
Harmonizing measurement tools: examining the concurrent validity of the Daily Activity Behaviors Questionnaire compared to the ActiGraph to assess 24-hour movement behaviors among adults.

Department of Rehabilitation Sciences, Ghent University, Ghent, Belgium.
Purpose: An accurate assessment of time spent in 24-hour movement behaviors (24 h-MBs) is crucial in exploring health related associations. This study aims to evaluate the concurrent validity of the Daily Activity Behavior Questionnaire (DABQ) compared to the ActiGraph using absolute and relative indicators of validity.
Methods: This cross-sectional observational study included 105 adults (45 ± 13 y/o, 54% female).
Postacute Myocardial Infarction Differences in Physical Activity Behavior, Anxiety, and Depression Levels.
SAGE Open Nurs

Faculty of Nursing, Applied Science Private University, Amman, Jordan.
Background: There are limited studies regarding physical activity, anxiety, and depression levels among patients with postacute myocardial infarction (AMI). This is a need for more research on physical activity, anxiety, and depression levels based on the type of AMI following hospitalization to develop interventions to improve these outcomes.
Objective: To compare physical activity behavior, anxiety, and depression levels among patients with post-ST-elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI) and post-non-ST-elevation myocardial infarction (NSTEMI) not involved in cardiac rehabilitation program following hospitalization.
Pathogenic Factor Analysis of Shoulder Periarthritis and Design of Virtual Reality Exercise Intervention System.

Shoulder periarthritis, a prevalent musculoskeletal disorder, causes significant pain and functional impairment, severely affecting patients' quality of life. With the increasing incidence of shoulder periarthritis linked to modern lifestyle changes, effective prevention and treatment strategies remain elusive. This study explores two areas: first, identifying risk factors for shoulder periarthritis through Mendelian randomization (MR) analysis, and second, designing a motion intervention system incorporating MediaPipe and virtual reality (VR) technology.
