LINDSAY-ANNE NETTLEFOLD is an academic who published a paper in 2011 entitled Patterns of physical activity and sedentary behaviour and cardiovascular health in children. LINDSAY-ANNE NETTLEFOLD published this work as part of a team: Nettlefold, Lindsay Anne. Here is a description of this work: Int,,oduction: Physical activity (PA) and sedentary behaviours are important modifiable risk factors for cardiovascular disease in adults, however, we know much less about their role for enhancing and sustaining children's cardiovascular health. The aim of this thesis is to evaluate the relation between PA, sedentary time, and cardiovascular health in children. Methods: Participants were volunteers in a two-year randomized controlled dissemination trial of a whole school PA model (30 schools, 1, 529 children). Activity intensity was measured via accelerometry (n=629), arterial compliance by applanation tonometry (n=250), and cardiovascular fitness (CVF) using a 20-meter shuttle run test (n=1, 319). Results: In study 1, epoch length influenced the volume of activity recorded, however, the direction and magnitude of the bias dep.
