Abstract

eMouveRecherche: the first scientific application to promote light-intensity activity for the prevention of chronic diseases

Highlights

The promotion of physical activity has proved to be effective in the prevention of non-communicable diseases [1]
Since excessive weight increases the risk of mortality, the nature of the relationships between the intensity, duration of physical activity and body mass index (BMI) have received much attention
[4] found that BMI was negatively correlated with increased physical activity measured by accelerometry

Summary

Introduction

The promotion of physical activity has proved to be effective in the prevention of non-communicable diseases [1]. About onethird of the population worldwide does not adhere to the guidelines that recommend 150 minutes of moderate-intensity activity/week or at least 75 minutes of vigorous-intensity activity per week and a decrease in time spent in sedentary behaviors [2,3]. [4] found that BMI was negatively correlated with increased physical activity measured by accelerometry. In a study aiming to determine associations between biological-behavioral-psychological parameters and objectively measured physical activity and sedentary time with a 13-year follow-up, each unit increase of BMI from baseline to followup was negatively associated with moderate and vigorous physical activity [5]. In addition to studying the health benefits of moderateto-vigorous physical activity, researchers have shown an increasing interest in very low levels of movement and sedentary behaviors. While the obvious examples of such behaviors are TV viewing and playing
