Abstract

Accumulating MVPA in nonbouts may be a beneficial starting point for individuals to increase physical activity levels and decrease body mass index and waist circumference. However, bouts of physical activity lasting > or = 10 minutes may be a more time-efficient strategy to decrease body mass index and waist circumference.
