Longitudinal associations of physical activity and sedentary time with cardiometabolic risk factors in children

Background There are few prospective studies on the associations of changes in objectively measured vigorous physical activity (VPA∆), moderate-to-vigorous physical activity (MVPA∆), light physical activity (LPA∆), and sedentary time (ST∆) with changes in cardiometabolic risk factors (∆) in children. We therefore investigated these relationships among children.
