“…In summary, it appears that the displacement hypothesis has limited support and that key media-based sedentary behaviours in young people are not strongly associated with the amount of physical activity they undertake. This was supported by our own primary data (Marshall et al, 2003;Marshall et al, 2002). Thus we conclude that there appears to be time for both of these behaviours.…”

There is growing concern over the effects of sedentary lifestyles on the health of young people. Recent rapid increases in juvenile obesity have received a great deal of attention in the scientific and popular press and have been attributed partly to television viewing, computer games and other sedentary behaviours. These are thought to compete with physical activity. There is a 'moral panic' concerning the 'couch kids' culture in modern western society. Project STIL (Sedentary Teenagers and Inactive Lifestyles) at Loughborough University is investigating 'what young people do' and focuses on active and inactive pursuits chosen in their leisure time. The following issues are addressed in this paper with specific reference to young people: how do we define 'sedentary behaviour' and do key sedentary behaviours displace physical activity? Are key sedentary behaviours obesogenic? What are the secular trends for children and youth for TV viewing? Our results for young people suggest that: 1. TV viewing and video-game playing are largely uncorrelated with physical activity, suggesting that there is time for both 2. meta-analytic findings show that body fatness is not related in any clinically meaningful way with key sedentary behaviours 3. although more children and youth have greater access to TVs than in previous generations, the amount of TV watched per head has not changed for 40 years. Preliminary findings from Project STIL suggest that inactivity is more complex that we sometimes think. Indeed, measures of 'couch potato-ism', such as TV viewing, may be inappropriate markers of inactivity.

“…A self-report diary was completed outside of school hours to capture leisure-time behaviours. The diary is based on the principles of EMA (Stone and Shiffman, 2002) and has been described as a valid and reliable tool for assessing sedentary behaviour and physical activity (Marshall et al, 2003). It has been used in recent research on sedentary behaviour (Biddle et al, 2009; Gorely et al, 2009).…”

Sedentary behaviour is becoming a popular area of health research, but most studies report data on samples from Australia, the UK and USA, and on a narrow range of behaviours. The present study reports on the prevalence of multiple sedentary behaviours in a sample of secondary school students (n ¼ 635; mean age 16.0 years) from Romania and Slovakia. Ecological Momentary Assessment diaries were used to record multiple behaviours across weekdays and weekend days. Results showed high levels of many sedentary behaviours, particularly for screen time at weekends. Other behaviours included homework, sedentary socializing and motorized transport. Gender, age and country differences were evident for some behaviours. Interventions may need to account for socio-demographic moderators, and studies need to assess multiple sedentary behaviours.

El presente estudio aborda la relación existente entre la frecuencia de actividad física con las variables agresividad, impulsividad, internet y videojuegos. En la investigación participaron 254 adolescentes colombianos en edades comprendidas entre los 12 y 17 años (Md=14.18; Dt = 1.47). Se aplicaron tres instrumentos a saber, la Escala de Impulsividad Barratt para Niños (Bis 11-c), el Cuestionario de Agresividad de Buss & Perry (AQ) y el Cuestionario CAGE para Detección de Problemas de Internet y Videojuegos en Adolescentes. Los resultados señalan que existe una relación significativa entre la actividad física con el componente cognitivo de la impulsividad (rs=1.92, p<.001) y el uso de internet y videojuegos (rs =.142, p<.05). Asimismo se confirma una vez más las diferencias de género a favor de los hombres en la realización de actividad física en adolescentes (U=5555.0, p=.000). No se encontraron diferencias significativas en los grupos de edad (χ² (5) =7.42, p = .191), tampoco se hallaron correlaciones significativas con la agresividad, ni con los demás componentes de la impulsividad.
