ACSM/CDC1 differs from ACSM/CDC2 in that for the latter only physical activity undertaken in bouts of at least 10 min contributes to accumulated physical activity.
Despite uncovering only limited increases in collective quality of life, and accumulated physical activity, following the Dings natural experiment, we recommend a strong need to exercise caution in interpreting that this intervention 'did' or 'did not' work.
[ 43] An 8 y follow-up study in children reported that higher accumulated physical activity was associated with less body fat at later age [ 44]; however predictions of initial physical activity level on adiposity changes were not investigated.
Health promoters face a considerable task in conveying the message that current recommendations advocating a minimum of thirty minutes of moderate intensity accumulated physical activity on all or most days of the week are straightforward to achieve.
Whilst the correlations observed were small, they are similar to the negative association observed between physical inactivity (sedentary time) and total accumulated physical activity between days by Baggett and colleagues, who suggested that physical activity was being displaced by inactivity [ 14].
Some current guidelines [ 9, 10] suggest physical activity be performed in minimum bouts, such as at least 10 minutes, thus using accumulated physical activity per day without regard to bouts, may result in an overestimation of women meeting current physical activity guidelines.
