The aim of the present study was to analyze the relationship between time spent engaged in sedentary behaviors, type of diet, and overweight in adolescents. A cross-sectional study using data from the Longitudinal Study on Sedentary Behavior, Physical Activity, Eating Habits, and Health of Adolescents - LONCAAFS Study. A total of 1,438 adolescents (10 to 14 years old) from public schools in the city of João Pessoa, Brazil, participated in the study. To evaluate the combined effects of excessive time in sedentary behavior and consumption from two food groups: Convenience and Prudent on overweight, we performed multiple logistic regression analyses, adjusted for energy, level of physical activity, sex, and age. Excessive time in sedentary behavior increased the chance of adolescents being overweight by 37% (OR = 1.37; 95%CI: 1.04-1.80). This chance increased to 43% when the adolescents were simultaneously engaged in excessive sedentary behavior and had high consumption of the Convenience food group (OR = 1.43; 95%CI: 1.05-1.94) and increased to 39% on those who engaged in excessive sedentary behavior and had low consumption of foods from the Prudent (OR = 1.39; 95%CI: 1.04-1.84). Excessive sedentary behavior is associated with being overweight and the chance increases with the consumption of convenient foods.

Background: Age-related decline in goal-directed behavior could be risky for older adults to maintain daily activities. Our previous studies have shown that long-term Tai Chi (TC) practice could improve motor performance and postural control during goal-directed tasks. However, there was a paucity of studies examining TC's effects on online control of goal-directed action.

Background: To process wearables sensors data, end-users face a wide variety of choices influencing physical activity (PA) patterns estimation. This study investigated the impact of varying epoch length on PA patterns in adults and World Health Organization (WHO) PA guidelines prevalence, assessed by accelerometer.
Methods: The study included 181 adults (18-74 years) from the Esteban Study (2014-2016).
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.

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.

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).
