Physical activity and sedentary pattern compositions and cardiometabolic risk in preschoolers
In preschoolers, accumulating LPA in shorter bursts, MPA in longer bursts, and maintaining a higher proportion of VPA may support healthier adiposity profiles. These findings underscore the importance of minimizing prolonged sedentary time and encouraging sustained, high-intensity PA from early childhood.
