Background: The purpose of this study was to measure physical activity (PA), sedentary behavior (SB), and hour-by-hour PA patterns with an accelerometer in a population-based sample of Finnish children and adolescents. Methods: A total of 3274 participants (3rd, 5th, 7th, 9th graders) from 176 schools wore a hip-worn triaxial accelerometer for seven days during waking hours. Mean amplitude deviation of the acceleration data was used to assess PA intensity that was converted to metabolic equivalents and categorized into light, moderate, and vigorous PA. Angle for posture estimation was used to measure SB and standing. Results: The majority of participants’ PA consisted of light PA, and they were sedentary for more than half of their waking hours. Children were more active than adolescents, and boys were more active than girls. Participants took, on average, 9890 steps daily, and one third met the PA recommendation. The participants were divided into tertiles based on daily steps to investigate the variation in PA patterns. Compared to the least active tertile, the most active tertile took twice as many steps on weekdays and nearly three times as many steps on the weekend. Conclusions: The majority of the participants were not active enough, and there was a great variation in PA levels and patterns, especially among the adolescents and on weekends.

Transcriptional and Epigenetic Response to Sedentary Behavior and Physical Activity in Children and Adolescents : A Systematic Review
Plaza-Florido, Abel; Pérez-Prieto, Inmaculada; Molina-Garcia, Pablo; Radom-Aizik, Shlomit; Ortega, Francisco B.; Altmäe, Signe (Frontiers Media SA, 2022)Background: The links of sedentary behavior and physical activity with health outcomes in children and adolescents is well known. However, the molecular mechanisms involved are poorly understood. We aimed to synthesize the ... -
Associations of parental physical activity trajectories with offspring's physical activity patterns from childhood to middle adulthood : The Young Finns Study
Yang, Xiaolin; Kukko, Tuomas; Kaseva, Kaisa; Biddle, Stuart J.H.; Rovio, Suvi P.; Pahkala, Katja; Kulmala, Janne; Hakonen, Harto; Hirvensalo, Mirja; Hutri-Kähönen, Nina; Raitakari, Olli T.; Tammelin, Tuija H. (Elsevier, 2022)We investigated the association of parental physical activity (PA) trajectories with offspring's youth and adult PA. Self-reported PA data were extracted from the Young Finns Study with three follow-ups for parents between ... -

However, while some subgroups of adolescents decrease activity, others increase or maintain ... -
Physical activity and sedentary time during physical education lessons between different physical activity groups of a sample of finnish 11-year-old students
Salin, Kasper; Huhtiniemi, Mikko; Watt, Anthony; Hakonen, Harto; Mononen, Kaisu; Jaakkola, Timo (Editura Universitatii din Pitesti, 2019)Problem statement: Insufficient PA is rising concern in modern society. Physical education as a compulsory subject allows all students to engage physical activity. However, the activity levels may vary during the physical ... -
Physical activity has decreased in Finnish children and adolescents from 2016 to 2022
Husu, Pauliina; Tokola, Kari; Vähä-Ypyä, Henri; Sievänen, Harri; Kokko, Sami; Villberg, Jari; Vasankari, Tommi (BioMed Central, 2024)Background Varying trends in children’s and adolescents’ physical activity (PA) have been reported during the last 10–20 years. Trends in sedentary behavior (SB) have been studied only rarely. The purpose of the present ...
