Abstract

Background: There is discussion whether compensation of physical activity leads to weightgain. Compensation of physical activity means that physical activity on a given moment, will be compensated by a decrease in physical activity on another moment. Objective: To observe compensation of physical activity in the GECKO Drenthe cohort population and to relate this with weightgain. Design, setting and participants: 852 children (428 boys, 424 girls), born April 2006 – April 2007, are included. For at least 3 consecutive days and for at least 10 hours a day, they wore the validated ActiGraph-GT3X accelerometer. Based on the amount of counts per minute, the number of minutes in sedentary behavior (SB), light physical activity (LPA), moderate physical activity (MPA) and vigorous physical activity (VPA) has been determined. Children, who in comparison to other children, showed more SG by the same amount of moderate- to vigorous physical activity (MVPA), are considered to show compensation of physical activity (regression analysis, adjusted for age and wear time). Based on length, weight at the age of 5 and 10 years, gender and age, a z-score of BMI has been calculated (BMI in kg/m2). The primary measure is delta-zBMI: the difference between the z-score of BMI at the age of 10 and at the age of 5. Results: Children who compensate for their physical activity do not differ in delta-zBMI score compared to children who do not compensate for their physical activity (-0.1 ± 0.7 for both groups, p > 0.05). Children who compensate for their physical activity are significantly less physical active (1055.0 ± 166.4 CPM compared to 1654.6 ± 227.6 CPM, p < 0.01). Conclusion: compensation of physical activity is not associated with weightgain between the age of 5 and 10 years.
