Brief Summary
ACS examined the potential influence of intermittent physical activity breaks of various intensities (control, light, moderate, vigorous) on measures of immediate mental performance, mood, hunger and several metabolic outcomes in children aged 7-11 years. We build upon previous work to hypothesize that higher-intensity intermittent physical activity breaks throughout an 8-hour day will improve immediate mental performance, mood, and post-exercise physical activity levels, while reducing hunger and post-exercise food intake.

Study Arms (4)
Sedentary Condition
SHAM COMPARATORForty minutes of screen time. Standardized meals provided.
Light-Intensity Condition
ACTIVE COMPARATORForty minutes of light-intensity activity. Standardized meals provided.
Moderate-Intensity Condition
ACTIVE COMPARATORForty minutes of moderate-intensity activity. Standardized meals provided.
High-Intensity Condition
ACTIVE COMPARATORForty minutes of high-intensity activity. Standardized meals provided.
Interventions
The light-intensity condition consisted of 8 hours of sitting interrupted with 2--minute, light--intensity activity breaks performed at 25% of heart rate reserve (HRR) every 18 minutes. Standardized meals were provided.
The moderate-intensity condition consisted of 8 hours of sitting interrupted with 2--minute, moderate-intensity activity breaks performed at 50% of heart rate reserve (HRR) every 18 minutes. Standardized meals were provided.
The high-intensity condition consisted of 8 hours of sitting interrupted with 2--minute, vigorous-intensity activity breaks performed at 75% of heart rate reserve (HRR) every 18 minutes. Standardized meals were provided.
The sedentary condition consisted of 8 hours of sitting interrupted with 2-minutes of screen time every 18 minutes. Standardized meals were provided.
Eligibility Criteria
You may qualify if:
- Children ages 7-11 years old from the greater Ann Arbor and Ypsilanti areas were recruited to participate in this study.
You may not qualify if:
- Participants were excluded based on the following criteria: (1) were taking medications or were diagnosed with diseases that could influence exercise ability or cognitive function and (2) were previously diagnosed with any major illness/health condition since birth.
