Abstract
OCCUPATIONAL APPLICATIONSSedentary behavior is a significant health concern among office workers. We completed the same 6-month sit-stand table intervention at work for groups of normal-weight and overweight workers, and compared it to not having sit-stand tables. The intervention caused the intended decrease in sitting time in both groups and a corresponding increase in standing. We did not find compensation effects on physical behavior outside of work. Furthermore, the intervention did not change the composition of fat, lean, and bone mass in either group. Thus, strategies including initiatives to increase physical activity are likely needed to have effects on body composition; and an intervention needs to be sustained for longer than six months for any changes in body composition to be observed.

Effects of Substituting Sedentary Behavior with Light-Intensity or Moderate-to-Vigorous Physical Activity on Obesity Indices in Adults: A Prospective Short-Term Follow-Up Study. INTERNATIONAL JOURNAL OF ENVIRONMENTAL RESEARCH AND PUBLIC HEALTH 2021; 18:13335. [PMID: 34948943 PMCID: PMC8702020 DOI: 10.3390/ijerph182413335] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 07/14/2021] [Revised: 08/19/2021] [Accepted: 08/20/2021] [Indexed: 11/17/2022]
Abstract
BACKGROUND Sedentary behavior (SB) is an independent risk factor for cardiovascular diseases. We hypothesized that there may be benefits of replacing SB with light-intensity (LIPA) and moderate-to-vigorous (MVPA) physical activity. Substituting SB with LIPA and MVPA might be associated with body composition changes. METHODS We assessed body weight, body mass index (BMI), fat body mass (FBM), and physical activity level, as well as one-year changes, in 780 adults (EPIMOV Study). RESULTS We analyzed into 10-min blocks SB, LIPA, MVPA, and total wear time. After 14 ± 3 months of follow-up, there were 242 completed procedures. We reallocated time spent in SB to LIPA or MVPA and assessed cross-sectional and prospective associations with the outcomes using isotemporal substitution models. In cross-sectional analysis, substituting 10-min blocks of SB with MVPA led to significant decreases of 1.23 kg in body weight, 0.30 kg/m² in BMI, and 0.38% in FBM. 10-min blocks substituting SB with LIPA produced significantly lower body weight (1 kg) and BMI (0.1 kg/m²) values. In longitudinal analysis, reallocating SB to MVPA was only associated with FBM decline (-0.31%). CONCLUSIONS Substituting SB with MVPA is associated with significant improvement in obesity indices in both cross-sectional and follow-up. Replacing SB with LIPA produced a less consistent impact.

Abstract
Introduction: The isotemporal substitution model (ISM) is a statistical approach that estimates the effects of replacing, in minutes, a block of physical activity or sedentary behavior by another block with different intensity. Previous studies have used the ISM to evaluate the effect of different isotemporal substitutions on body composition. Thus, the ISM can contribute to the understanding of changes in body composition related to distinct lifestyles and, hence, guiding future recommendations for maintaining and/or improving body composition. Objective: To review the effect of replacing sedentary behavior by physical activity on body composition change analyzed through ISM. Methods: Original articles in English were identified from searches in PubMed and Periódicos Capes databases. The search was carried out by two researchers. Last search was performed in October 2020. Results: A total of 17 included articles, which evaluated different applications of ISM in relation to body composition change, mostly obtained by BMI and body fat. The physical activity was mainly assessed by using an accelerometer. Several methodological differences among the included studies limited comparisons between findings, including the sample profile and cut off points for physical activity. Conclusion: Among the studies that evaluate the effect of replacing sedentary behavior for different intensities of physical activity through ISM, replacing sedentary behavior by moderate-to-vigorous physical activity presented a more consistent effect in body composition change in comparison to replacement by other physical activity intensities, even for small blocks of time (five minutes).

The Influence of Sitting, Standing, and Stepping Bouts on Cardiometabolic Health Markers in Older Adults. J Aging Phys Act 2021; 30:114-122.

Abstract
Aside from total time spent in physical activity behaviors, how time is accumulated is important for health. This study examined associations between sitting, standing, and stepping bouts, with cardiometabolic health markers in older adults. Participants from the Mitchelstown Cohort Rescreen Study (N = 221) provided cross-sectional data on activity behaviors (assessed via an activPAL3 Micro) and cardiometabolic health. Bouts of ≥10-, ≥30-, and ≥60-min sitting, standing, and stepping were calculated. Linear regression models were fitted to examine the associations between bouts and cardiometabolic health markers. Sitting (≥10, ≥30, and ≥60 min) and standing (≥10 and ≥30 min) bouts were detrimentally associated with body composition measures, lipid markers, and fasting glucose. The effect for time spent in ≥60-min sitting and ≥30-min standing bouts was larger than shorter bouts. Fragmenting sitting with bouts of stepping may be targeted to benefit cardiometabolic health. Further insights for the role of standing need to be elicited.

Abstract
PURPOSE This study aimed to investigate whether prospectively reallocating time away from sedentary behavior (SB) into different physical activity intensities is associated with 12-month change to cardiometabolic health in a cohort at high risk of type 2 diabetes (T2DM). METHODS Participants with known risk factors for T2DM were recruited from primary care (Leicestershire, United Kingdom) as part of the Walking Away from Type 2 Diabetes trial (n = 808). Participants were followed up at 12, 24, and 36 months. SB, light-intensity physical activity (LPA) and moderate-to-vigorous intensity physical activity (MVPA) were measured objectively by accelerometer. Postchallenge glucose, triglycerides, HDL cholesterol, systolic blood pressure, and waist circumference were analyzed individually and combined into a clustered cardiometabolic risk score (CMRS). Associations of changing SB over each consecutive 12-month period were analyzed taking account of repeated measures. RESULTS Reallocating 30 min from SB to LPA was associated with 0.21-cm (95% confidence interval, 0.03-0.38 cm) reduction in waist circumference, 0.09-mmol·L (0.04-0.13 mmol·L) reduction in 2-h glucose, 0.02-mmol·L (0.00-0.04 mmol·L) reduction in triglycerides, and 0.02 (0.01-0.03) reduction in CMRS. Every 30-min reallocation from SB to MVPA was associated with 1.23-cm (0.68-1.79 cm) reduction in waist circumference, 0.23-mmol·L (0.10-0.36 mmol·L) reduction in 2-h glucose, 0.04-mmol·L (0.00-0.09 mmol·L) reduction in triglycerides, and 0.07 (0.04-0.11) reduction in CMRS. Reallocating 30 min from LPA into MVPA was also associated with 1.02-cm (0.43-1.60 cm) reduction in waist circumference, 0.16-mmol·L (0.02-0.30 mmol·L) reduction in 2-h glucose, and 0.05 (0.01-0.09) reduction in CMRS. CONCLUSION Over 12 months, reallocating time away from SB into LPA or MVPA was associated with improved cardiometabolic health in a population at risk of T2DM, with the greatest benefits observed for MVPA.

Abstract
BACKGROUND All physical activity (PA) behaviours undertaken over the day, including sleep, sedentary time, standing time, light-intensity PA (LIPA) and moderate-to-vigorous PA (MVPA) have the potential to influence cardiometabolic health. Since these behaviours are mutually exclusive, standard statistical approaches are unable to account for the impact on time spent in other behaviours. OBJECTIVE By employing a compositional data analysis (CoDA) approach, this study examined the associations of objectively measured time spent in sleep, sedentary time, standing time, LIPA and MVPA over a 24-h day on markers of cardiometabolic health in older adults. METHODS Participants (n =366; 64.6 years [5.3]; 46% female) from the Mitchelstown Cohort Rescreen Study provided measures of body composition, blood lipid and markers of glucose control. An activPAL3 Micro was used to obtain objective measures of sleep, sedentary time, standing time, LIPA and MVPA, using a 7-day continuous wear protocol. Regression analysis, using geometric means derived from CoDA (based on isometric log-ratio transformed data), was used to examine the relationship between the aforementioned behaviours and markers of cardiometabolic health. RESULTS Standing time and LIPA showed diverging associations with markers of body composition. Body mass index (BMI), body mass and fat mass were negatively associated with LIPA (all p <0.05) and positively associated with standing time (all p <0.05). Sedentary time was also associated with higher BMI (p <0.05). No associations between blood markers and any PA behaviours were observed, except for triglycerides, which were negatively associated with standing time (p < 0.05). Reallocating 30 min from sleep, sedentary time or standing time, to LIPA, was associated with significant decreases in BMI, body fat and fat mass. CONCLUSION This is the first study to employ CoDA in older adults that has accounted for sleep, sedentary time, standing time, LIPA and MVPA in a 24-h cycle. The findings support engagement in LIPA to improve body composition in older adults. Increased standing time was associated with higher levels of adiposity, with increased LIPA associated with reduced adiposity; therefore, these findings indicate that replacing standing time with LIPA is a strategy to lower adiposity.

Association of Reallocating Time in Different Intensities of Physical Activity with Weight Status Changes among Normal-Weight Chinese Children: A National Prospective Study. INTERNATIONAL JOURNAL OF ENVIRONMENTAL RESEARCH AND PUBLIC HEALTH 2020; 17:ijerph17165761. [PMID: 32784949 PMCID: PMC7459607 DOI: 10.3390/ijerph17165761] [Citation(s) in RCA: 3] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.8] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 07/05/2020] [Revised: 07/29/2020] [Accepted: 07/30/2020] [Indexed: 12/24/2022]
Abstract
Background: Time spent in different intensity-specific physical activities is codependent, but the substitution effect of different activities on weight status changes in children remains unclear. This study aims to investigate the prospective association between reallocating time in different intensities of physical activity and weight status changes among Chinese children. Methods: A national sample of 15,100 normal-weight children aged 7–18 years (46.7% boys) were recruited in September 2013 and followed up for nine months. Vigorous-intensity physical activity (VPA), moderate-intensity physical activity (MPA), walking, and sedentary time were obtained by International Physical Activity Questionnaire Short Form (IPAQ-SF). Height and weight were objectively measured, by which body mass index (BMI) and BMI z-score were calculated. Weight status was classified by the Chinese criteria for 7- to 18-year-old children. Isotemporal substitution analyses (including single-factor model, partition model, and isotemporal substitution model) were applied to examine the association of time allocation with weight status changes. Results: Each 30 min/day of increase in VPA was favorably associated with a 13.2% reduced risk of incident overweight/obesity in a single-factor model and a 15.6% reduced risk in a partition model. Negative associations were found between VPA, MPA, walking and the risk of being underweight in the single-factor model, but not in the partition model. In substitution models, replacing 30 min/day sedentary time with an equal amount of VPA was favorably associated with a 16.1% reduction of the risk of being overweight/obese. Conclusion: These findings highlight the need for promoting vigorous-intensity physical activity in children.
