BOUT VS. NON-BOUT PHYSICAL ACTIVITY MINUTES AS PREDICTORS OF WAIST CIRCUMFERENCE IN COLLEGE STUDENTS
Faculty Advisor Name
Dr Trent Hargens
Description
Physical activity recommendations to reduce all cause mortality consist of 10 minute bouts of a moderate-vigorous intensity, for a total of 150 min/week. This study investigates if those 10 minute bouts really matter. We found that step count was the best predictor of waist circumference. This finding supports many new technological devices that use step counts as a form of measuring activity. It provides support that the more steps you take, the likelier you will have a small waist.
