| Abstract |
To investigate longitudinal associations of objectively-measured physical activity (PA) and sedentary behavior (SB) with body composition and physical fitness at a 12-month follow-up in healthy Swedish 4-year-old children. The data from the population-based MINISTOP trial were collected between 2014-2016, and this study included the 138 children who were in the control group. PA and SB were assessed using the wrist-worn ActiGraph (wGT3x-BT) accelerometer during seven 24-hour periods, and subsequently, defined as SB, light-intensity PA (LPA), moderate-intensity PA (MPA), vigorous-intensity PA (VPA), and moderate-to-vigorous PA (MVPA). Body composition was measured using air-displacement plethysmography, and physical fitness (cardiorespiratory fitness, lower and upper muscular strength as well as motor fitness) by the PREFIT fitness battery. Linear regression and isotemporal substitution models were applied. Greater VPA and MVPA at the age of 4.5 were associated with higher fat-free mass index (FFMI) at 5.5 years of age (p<0.001 and p=0.044, respectively). Furthermore, greater VPA and MVPA at the age of 4.5 were associated with higher scores for cardiorespiratory fitness, lower body muscular strength and motor fitness at 12-month follow-up (p=0.001 to p=0.031). Substituting 5-minutes/day of SB, LPA or MPA for VPA at the age of 4.5 were associated with higher FFMI, and with greater upper and lower muscular strength at 12-month follow-up (p<0.001 to p=0.046). Higher VPA and MVPA at the age of 4.5 were significantly associated with higher FFMI and better physical fitness at 12-month follow-up. Our results indicate that promoting high intensity PA at young ages may have long-term beneficial effects on childhood body composition and physical fitness, in particular muscular strength. |

Attention Score in Context
This research output has an Altmetric Attention Score of 14. This is our high-level measure of the quality and quantity of online attention that it has received. This Attention Score, as well as the ranking and number of research outputs shown below, was calculated when the research output was last mentioned on 13 January 2022.
All research outputs
#2,665,326
of 26,017,215 outputs
Outputs from Medicine and Science in Sports & Exercise
#2,087
of 7,135 outputs
Outputs of similar age
#48,950
of 335,265 outputs
Outputs of similar age from Medicine and Science in Sports & Exercise
#31
of 70 outputs
Altmetric has tracked 26,017,215 research outputs across all sources so far. Compared to these this one has done well and is in the 89th percentile: it's in the top 25% of all research outputs ever tracked by Altmetric.
So far Altmetric has tracked 7,135 research outputs from this source. They typically receive a lot more attention than average, with a mean Attention Score of 25.2. This one has gotten more attention than average, scoring higher than 70% of its peers.
Older research outputs will score higher simply because they've had more time to accumulate mentions. To account for age we can compare this Altmetric Attention Score to the 335,265 tracked outputs that were published within six weeks on either side of this one in any source. This one has done well, scoring higher than 85% of its contemporaries.
We're also able to compare this research output to 70 others from the same source and published within six weeks on either side of this one. This one has gotten more attention than average, scoring higher than 54% of its contemporaries.
