Article Abstract
Objectives: To investigate the associations of physical activity (PA) and sedentary behaviour in early childhood with asthma and reduced lung function in later childhood within a large collaborative study.
Design: Pooling of longitudinal data from collaborating birth cohorts using meta-analysis of separate cohort-specific estimates and analysis of individual participant data of all cohorts combined.
Setting: Children aged 0-18 years from 26 European birth cohorts.
Participants: 136 071 individual children from 26 cohorts, with information on PA and/or sedentary behaviour in early childhood and asthma assessment in later childhood.
Main Outcome Measure: Questionnaire-based current asthma and lung function measured by spirometry (forced expiratory volume in 1 s (FEV), FEV/forced vital capacity) at age 6-18 years.
Results: Questionnaire-based and accelerometry-based PA and sedentary behaviour at age 3-5 years was not associated with asthma at age 6-18 years (PA in hours/day adjusted OR 1.01, 95% CI 0.98 to 1.04; sedentary behaviour in hours/day adjusted OR 1.03, 95% CI 0.99 to 1.07). PA was not associated with lung function at any age. Analyses of sedentary behaviour and lung function showed inconsistent results.
Conclusions: Reduced PA and increased sedentary behaviour before 6 years of age were not associated with the presence of asthma later in childhood.

Physical activity for prevention of cardiovascular disease: consensus statement of Korean Society of Cardio-cerebrovascular Disease Prevention.
Korean J Intern Med
September 2025
Department of Medicine, Seoul National University College of Medicine, Seoul, Korea.
Cardiovascular disease (CVD) remains the leading cause of mortality worldwide, highlighting the need for effective preventive strategies. This consensus statement emphasizes the critical role of regular physical activity, including aerobic and muscle-strengthening exercises, in reducing key CVD risk factors such as hypertension, dyslipidemia, obesity, and insulin resistance. Recommendations are provided for the general adult population as well as specific subgroups, including older adults, pregnant and postpartum women, individuals with CVD, and those with physical limitations.

Background: Brief measures of 24-hour movement behaviors are needed to easily evaluate their durations. The present study investigated the criterion validity and test-retest reliability of a brief self-report instrument to assess 24-hour movement behaviors.
Methods: A paper-based self-administered questionnaire was used to assess sleep, sedentary behavior (SB), light-intensity physical activity (LPA), and moderate-to-vigorous physical activity (MVPA) with four items in 35 healthy adults.
The feasibility and acceptability of height-adjustable stand-up desks in a self-contained classroom for students with emotional disturbances: A crossover pilot study.

Department of Kinesiology, College of Health and Human Sciences, Kansas State University, Manhattan, KS 66506, United States.
Background: Using height-adjustable stand-up (stand-up) desks within classrooms for students with emotional disturbances may be beneficial for reducing sedentary behavior and promoting positive classroom behaviors.
Aims: To investigate the feasibility and acceptability of stand-up desks for students with emotional disturbances and determine the preliminary effects of stand-up desks on sedentary time (SED), physical activity (PA), and classroom behaviors.
Methods And Procedures: Four participants aged 12-14 years alternated using traditional or stand-up desks in a 10-week crossover design across one school year.

School of Medical and Health Sciences, Edith Cowan University, Joondalup, WA 6027, Australia.
Introduction: Submarine environments pose unique challenges to maintaining physical activity and exercise routines due to confined spaces, demanding schedules, and limited resources. This study investigated submariners' physical activity patterns, sleep quality, and perceived exercise barriers in both land- and sea-based settings, with the goal of informing targeted health interventions.
Materials And Methods: Ethics approval was granted by the Defence Science and Technology Group and Edith Cowan University review panels.

Introduction And Objectives: Obesity has been considered the pandemic of the 21st century due to its high prevalence and the significant morbidity and mortality it entails. The aim of this study is to assess the prevalence of obesity in two occupational sectors and to determine the variables associated with it.
Methodology: This is a cross-sectional and descriptive study involving 56,856 workers from the commerce and industrial sectors.
