Which intensities, types, and patterns of movement behaviors are most strongly associated with cardiometabolic risk factors among children?
2021, Journal of Sport and Health ScienceCitation Excerpt :Sedentary bouts lasting ≥5 min, 10 min, 20 min, or 30 min were identified, along with nonbouted sedentary behavior (i.e., sedentary behavior that does not meet the criteria for a 5-min bout). A sedentary bout was defined as a period of consecutive minutes of <100 accelerometer counts per minute, with no tolerance for epochs exceeding the sedentary threshold within a bout.34 Time spent in the 4 lengths of sedentary bouts were calculated as sedentary time (min/day) accumulated in bouts lasting 5.00–9.99 min, 10.00–19.99 min, 20.00–29.99 min, or ≥30.00 min.
Standing is not enough: A randomized crossover study on the acute cardiometabolic effects of variations in sitting in healthy young men
2019, Journal of Science and Medicine in SportCitation Excerpt :A cut point of <100 counts per minute (cpm) was selected for sedentary behaviour and >1952 for MVPA.22 A period of at least 10 consecutive minutes below 100 cpm was defined as a sedentary bout, and sedentary time accumulated in bouts of ≥10 min was defined as prolonged sedentary time.23,24 To date, there is no consensus on the minimum duration of an MVPA bout.
