• Validity of traditional physical activity intensity calibration methods and the feasibility of self-paced walking and running on individualised calibration of physical activity intensity in children 

  Haapala, Eero A.; Gao, Ying; Vanhala, Anssi; Rantalainen, Timo; Finni, Taija (Nature Publishing Group, 2020)

  There are no practical and valid methods for the assessment of individualised physical activity (PA) intensity in observational studies. Therefore, we investigated the validity of commonly used metabolic equivalent of tasks ...

• Children’s physical activity and sedentary time compared using assessments of accelerometry counts and muscle activity level 

  Gao, Ying; Melin, Martti; Mäkäräinen, Karoliina; Rantalainen, Timo; Pesola, Arto J.; Laukkanen, Arto; Sääkslahti, Arja; Finni Juutinen, Taija (PeerJ Inc., 2018)

  Background This research compared accelerometry (ACC)-derived and muscle electromyography (EMG)-based estimates of physical activity (PA) and sedentary time in typical PA tasks and during the daily lives of children. ...

• Development of accelerometer‐based light to vigorous physical activity in fitness profiles of school‐aged children 

  Gråstén, Arto; Huhtiniemi, Mikko; Hakonen, Harto; Jaakkola, Timo (Wiley-Blackwell, 2021)

  This study examined the developmental trajectories of light (LPA) and moderate-to-vigorous physical activity (MVPA) in fitness profiles derived from motor competence, perceived motor competence, health-related fitness, and ...

• Temperamentally inhibited children are at risk for poorer maths performance : self-concept as mediator 

  Viljaranta, Jaana; Aunola, Kaisa; Mullola, Sari; Luonua, Marjaana; Tuomas, Anne; Nurmi, Jari-Erik (Springer, 2020)

  It has repeatedly been found that temperamental inhibition and low academic achievement are associated with each other: children with cautious and wary or shy behaviour are at risk for low academic achievement. Several ...

• Mediating effects of motor performance, cardiorespiratory fitness, physical activity, and sedentary behaviour on the associations of adiposity and other cardiometabolic risk factors with academic achievement in children 

  Haapala, Eero; Lintu, Niina; Eloranta, Aino-Maija; Venäläinen, Taisa; Poikkeus, Anna-Maija; Ahonen, Timo; Lindi, Virpi; Lakka, Timo A. (Routledge, 2018)

  We investigated the associations of cardiometabolic risk factors with academic achievement and whether motor performance, cardiorespiratory fitness, physical activity, or sedentary behaviour mediated these associations. ...
