The links between increased participation in Physical Activity (PA) and improvements in
health are well established. As this body of evidence has grown, so too has the search for …

Background Cadence (steps/min) may be a reasonable proxy-indicator of ambulatory
intensity. A summary of current evidence is needed for cadence-based metrics supporting …

Step counting has long been used as a method of measuring distance. Starting in the mid-
1900s, researchers became interested in using steps per day to quantify ambulatory …

vigorous intensity or an equivalent combination of both; and (4) muscle-strengthening …

Physical activity (PA) is a behavior that involves bodily movements resulting in energy
expenditure. When assessing PA, the goal is to identify the frequency, duration, intensity …

Background The minimal and optimal daily step counts for health improvements remain
unclear. Objectives A meta-analysis was performed to quantify dose-response associations …

Aims/hypothesis The study investigated cross-sectional associations of total amount and
patterns of sedentary behaviour with glucose metabolism status and the metabolic …

Background Previous studies have reported that walking cadence (steps/min) is associated
with absolutely-defined intensity (metabolic equivalents; METs), such that cadence-based …

Background Regular physical activity is vital for cardiovascular health. Time spent in
sedentary behaviors (eg, sitting, lying down) also is an independent risk factor for …

Abnormal mechanical loading often leads to the progressive degradation of cartilage and
causes osteoarthritis (OA). Although multiple mechanoresponsive strategies based on …
