The German national cohort study on the development of motor performance, physical activity and health in children and adolescents: the MoMo 2.0-Study protocol Open
Introduction Regular physical activity (PA) and good motor performance are essential for children’s physical and mental health. However, historical trends suggest that levels of PA and motor performance in children and adolescents are at a…

Combining diaries and accelerometers to explain change in physical activity during a lifestyle intervention for adults with pre-diabetes: A PREVIEW sub-study Open
Self-report and device-based measures of physical activity (PA) both have unique strengths and limitations; combining these measures should provide complementary and comprehensive insights to PA behaviours. Therefore, we aim to 1) identify…

O.5.1-1 Physical environment perceptions in rural and urban areas and their influence on adolescents’ walking and non-motorized vehicle use Open
Purpose Environment perceptions influence adolescents’ active transport. However, most studies focus on urban areas only and do not differentiate between walking and the use of non-motorized vehicles (NMV; e. g. cycling, skateboarding). Th…

How specific combinations of epoch length, non-wear time and cut-points influence physical activity Open
This study assesses three factors that influence the quantification of children’s and adolescents’ physical activity (PA) using accelerometers: selection of (1) non-wear algorithm, (2) epoch length and (3) cut-points. A total of 1525 parti…
