New study published by Science Direct, with Guy Faulkner collaboration as part of the research team: “Longitudinal trends and predictors of muscle-strengthening activity guideline adherence among Canadian youths”
Muscle-strengthening activity (MSE e.g. push-ups, sit-ups, use of weight machines) is linked to multiple health benefits for youth, and is part of the global physical activity guidelines for children and adolescents (5–17 years). However, MSE is rarely assessed in youth health surveillance. This study describes the longitudinal trends and predictors of MSE among a cohort of Canadian youths.
