Active travel modes to school were not associated with children's sedentary behavior or physical activity across intensities. No statistically significant differences by sex were detected in the observed associations. However, the positive association between active travel modes to non-school destinations and moderate-to-vigorous physical activity neared statistical significance in boys (b=0.15, p=0.07) but not in girls. Conclusions: Active travel was positively associated with children's physical activity but not their sedentary behavior levels. Active travel to non-school destinations may have more potential to increase children's moderate-to-vigorous physical activity levels, than active travel to school.]]> Sat 24 Mar 2018 07:29:05 AEDT ]]> Sedentary behavior in everyday life relates negatively to mood: an ambulatory assessment study https://nova.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:48523 Ps < 0.015). In particular, the more participants were sedentary in their everyday life, the less they felt well and energized. Exploratory analyses of the temporal course of these effects supported our findings. Sedentary behavior can be seen as a general risk factor because it impacts both somatic and mental health. Most importantly, physical activity and sedentary behavior showed independent effects on mood dimensions. Accordingly, future studies should consider the two sides of the physical behavior coin: How should physical activity be promoted? and How can sedentary behavior be reduced?]]> Mon 20 Mar 2023 17:42:41 AEDT ]]>
