Physical activity has decreased in Finnish children and adolescents from 2016 to 2022
Children and adolescents became physically less active from 2016 to 2022. The potential effects of the COVID-19 were seen as declined PA and increased sedentariness from 2018 to 2022
Psychosocial and health behavioural characteristics of longitudinal physical activity patterns
Diverse factors characterise longitudinal PA patterns over the transition to young adulthood. Sports club participation contributes to maintained PA. Moreover, a father-adolescent relationship that supports open communication may be one determinant for sustained PA during adolescence. A healthier diet and non-smoking as a young adult are associated with more favourable PA development
Higher number of steps and breaks during sedentary behaviour are associated with better lipid profiles
This study was registered and approved by the Regional Ethics Committee of Tampere University Hospital in Finland (approval code R15137 )
Socio-Ecological Intervention to Promote Active Commuting to Work
Active commuting to work (ACW) is beneficial to traffic, environment and population health. More evidence is needed on effective ways to promote ACW. This paper describes the protocol and baseline findings of a cluster-randomized controlled study, which aims to promote ACW with multilevel strategies in two large workplace areas in Tampere, Finland. In Phase 1, the impacts of environmental strategies (trail improvements) were evaluated in 11 workp…
Moving to business – changes in physical activity and sedentary behavior after multilevel intervention in small and medium-size workplaces
NCT01999205 , registration date 11/01/2013
Objectively measured sedentary behavior and physical activity in a sample of Finnish adults
Participants spent nearly 60 % of their waking time sedentary, and the majority of their daily PA was light. From a public health perspective it is important to find effective ways to decrease SB as well as to increase the level of PA. Our analysis method of raw accelerometer data may allow more precise assessment of dose-response relationships between objectively measured PA and SB and various indicators of health and well-being
Objectively measured sedentary behavior and physical activity of Finnish 7- to 14-year-old children– associations with perceived health status
Participants spent over half of their waking hours sedentary. Less SB and more steps were associated with excellent perceived health. There is a need for dose-response analyses between objectively measured PA and SB and specific health outcomes in children and adolescents. Also patterns of objectively measured PA and SB should be studied in more detail
