Abstract in brief

  • This study investigated how different movement behaviors like sedentary time, light physical activity, and moderate-to-vigorous physical activity affect fat mass in children over a 13-year period, using data from 6,059 children in the UK.
  • It found that more sedentary time was linked to increased fat mass, while more light and moderate-to-vigorous activity were associated with decreased fat mass; notably, light physical activity showed a potentially stronger effect than more intense exercise.
  • Engaging in more physical activity, especially MVPA, was linked to lower fat mass partly because it reduces insulin and LDL cholesterol levels, suggesting that even less intense activities like light movement could help prevent childhood obesity.

"Cada minuto dedicado a la actividad física ligera durante el crecimiento desde la infancia hasta la edad adulta joven se asoció con una reducción de 3,6 gramos en la masa grasa corporal total".
