The total volume of physical activity, represented by TAC, appears to have stronger associations with cardiometabolic biomarkers than MVPA accumulated in bouts, which indicated TAC was more strongly associated with 11 biomarkers.

Accelerometer-Derived Total Activity Counts, Bouted Minutes of Moderate to Vigorous Activity, and Insulin Resistance: NHANES 2003–2006

It is indicated that total activity counts per day has stronger associations with insulin resistance compared with minutes of bouted MVPA, and the most likely explanation is that total Activity Counts per day captures data on light physical activity and intermittent MV PA, both of which influence insulin resistance.

Does duration of physical activity bouts matter for adiposity and metabolic syndrome? A cross-sectional study of older British men

Objectively measured MVPA, LPA and SB were all associated with lower adiposity and metabolic risk, and the beneficial associations of LPA are encouraging for older adults for whom initiating MVPA and maintaining bouts lasting ≥10 min may be particularly challenging.

Objective Measures of Physical Activity and Cardiometabolic and Endocrine Biomarkers

The data suggest that greater physical activity is modestly associated with favorable levels of cardiometabolic and endocrine biomarkers, where the strongest associations were found with accelerometer-measured physical activity.

Accelerometer-Measured Physical Activity and Cardiometabolic Risk Factors by Race-Ethnicity: 2003–2006 NHANES

Significant race-ethnic differences were found for several CMRF, especially among those who were in the top quartile of PA (e.g., the most active adults).

The results support the public health message “sit less and move more” and support the importance of moderate-to-vigorous physical activity for preventing chronic disease that requires hospital care, especially cardiovascular disease.

Associations between Objectively Determined Physical Activity and Cardiometabolic Health in Adult Women: A Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis

Overall, PA levels are low in adult women, suggesting that increasing the total volume of PA is more important than emphasizing the intensity and duration of PA, and it is compelling that being more physically active has favorable effects on the metabolic syndrome.

PURPOSE Physical activity guidelines recommend that adults accumulate at least 150 min of moderate-to-vigorous physical activity (MVPA) per week in bouts of at least 10 min. However, sporadic MVPA…

Accumulating MVPA in nonbouts may be a beneficial starting point for individuals to increase physical activity levels and decrease body mass index and waist circumference.

Self-reported and objectively measured activity related to biomarkers using NHANES.

Self-reported and objectively measured moderate to vigorous physical activity (MVPA) appear to capture distinct aspects of PA that are independently associated with certain biomarkers, but objectively measured MVPA displayed stronger associations with physiological and anthropometric biomarkers than self-reported MVPA.

These are the first population-representative findings on the deleterious associations of prolonged sedentary time with cardio-metabolic and inflammatory biomarkers and suggest that clinical communications and preventive health messages on reducing and breaking up sedentaryTime may be beneficial for cardiovascular disease risk.

Sustained and shorter bouts of physical activity are related to cardiovascular health.

A positive association of MVPA with a healthier CVD risk factor profile is confirmed and indicate that accruing PA in bouts <10 min may favorably influence cardiometabolic risk.

It is found that light-intensity lifestyle activity and sedentary time were significantly associated with the risk of MetS, independent of moderate–vigorous intensity physical activity (MVPA).

The finding that different accelerometer cut-points gave substantially different estimates of time spent data has important implications for researchers using accelerometers to predict time spent in different intensity categories.

Objective and subjective measures of physical activity give qualitatively similar results regarding gender and age patterns of activity, however, adherence to physical activity recommendations according to accelerometer-measured activity is substantially lower than according to self-report.
