). Thus, there is a need for health promotion initiatives aimed at increasing physical activity levels in that age group. Research on the predictors and correlates of physical activity in older adults can aid the effective design of such initiatives by helping to identify which segments of the older adult

correlates of the observed change. Participants of a distance-running event were the focus of the study due to its popularity as a population-based organized sport opportunity ( Running USA, 2018 ).

Physical literacy may be one construct that is positively associated with exercise behavior, because its core components (i.e., physical competence, motivation, confidence and knowledge, and understanding) are considered important correlates or determinants of lifelong physical activity

reduce children’s screen time, 8 few interventions have targeted children’s sitting, despite success in adult populations. 9 – 11 Understanding influences or correlates of sitting is important as these may differ from the factors that influence screen time, and alternative intervention strategies may

adolescents often report less MVPA than white adolescents. 3 – 5 Differences in MVPA between the sexes and between ethnicities/races invite the question of whether correlates of MVPA, organized within the social–ecological framework of personal, social, and environmental correlates, 6 also differ

and adolescents for the first time in the country’s history. ENSIN provides rich contextual data and provides a unique opportunity to understand PA levels and correlates in Colombia. Using ENSIN data, this paper aims to describe the prevalence of PA among Colombian children and adolescents (3–17 y

characteristics and levels of moderate-to-vigorous physical activity (MVPA) that interacted with supportive SCT variables (i.e., high social support, high self-efficacy, and low barriers) ( Carlson et al., 2012 ). Another study examined SCT variables embedded within SEM as correlates of physical activity among

comparisons were conducted using t test and chi-square analysis. A series of 2-factor analysis of variance (region X ATS) were utilized to contrast attitudinal scale metrics. Finally, a logistic procedure was utilized to highlight those correlates related to households where parents allowed their children

interventions may prevent or delay the onset of T2DM. 9 However, to achieve these benefits of intervention, it is necessary to gain insight into the target group’s specific correlates of PA, as this contributes to the understanding of this behavior. It will also help tailoring the PA intervention to the target
