Randomized Controlled Trial
Physical activity intensity, sedentary behavior, body composition and physical fitness in 4-year-old children: results from the ministop trial.
Existing knowledge on associations of physical activity (PA) and sedentary behavior (SB) with body composition and physical fitness in preschoolers is limited. ⋯ Time spent on VPA was associated with higher FFMI and better physical fitness. The results suggest that promoting VPA may be important to improve childhood body composition and physical fitness already at an early age.
