Sedentary Time and Physical Activity Across Occupational Classifications.

ABSTRACT:

Purpose

To examine differences in activity patterns across employment and occupational classifications.

Design

Cross-sectional.

Setting

A 2005-2006 Coronary Artery Risk Development in Young Adults (CARDIA) study.

Sample

Participants with valid accelerometry data (n = 2068).

Measures

Uniaxial accelerometry data (ActiGraph 7164), accumulated during waking hours, were summarized as mean activity counts (counts/min) and time spent (min/d) in long-bout sedentary (≥30 minutes, SED_≥30), short-bout sedentary (<30 minutes, SED_<30), light physical activity (LPA), short-bout moderate-to-vigorous physical activity (<10 minutes, MVPA_<10), and long-bout MVPA (≥10 minutes, MVPA_≥10) using Freedson cut-points.
