“…This finding may reflect preponderance of fast food outlets and increasing access to consumption of energy-dense foods in and around urban schools [ 8 , 9 ]. In addition, children in urban areas are increasingly engaging in sedentary activities including TV viewing which, has been shown to be accompanied with junk foods consumption [ 34 ], which is associated with escalating burden of excess body fat [ 35 ]. Very important is the use of evidence-based physical activity intervention to combat childhood obesity, especially in a country like South Africa which is a country with extreme diversity, not only in population and ethnic groupings, but also with regard to socio-economic status [ 41 ].…”

PA was included for further analyses if the subject had accumulated a minimum of 8 h of activity data per day for at least 2 weekdays and 1 weekend day …”

“…It is well established and there is strong evidence that lack of regular physical activity (PA) and a sedentary lifestyle affect human health significantly and may lead to increased prevalence of overweight and major health problems in children . Mechanical strain is an important determinant of skeletal growth and modeling, therefore PA has also been considered to be a key factor in the achievement of optimum peak bone mass, and may reduce later fracture risk .…”
