| Abstract |
Children and youth accumulate their daily moderate-to-vigorous physical activity (MVPA) in bouts (i.e., ≥ 5 consecutive minutes) and in a sporadic manner (i.e., <5 consecutive minutes). The study objective was to determine, within children and youth, whether MVPA accumulated in bouts is more strongly associated with cardiometabolic risk factors than an equivalent volume of MVPA accumulated sporadically. |
