“…However, this paper did not analyze socioeconomic variables, which may also be aids in individual's level of physical activity (Pate, Mitchell, Byun, & Dowda, 2011;Sallis et al, 2000). Thus, interventions that aim to increase the level of physical activity can help reduce sedentary lifestyle and excess weight in adolescents (Dutra, Kaufmann, Pretto, & Albernaz, 2015;Silva, 2013).…”

“…This behavior has to be underlined as the multisensor method has been demonstrated to be population-specific [17] showing reduced estimation error of EE in overweight children and adolescents. Noticeably, this population spent most of their daily life in sedentary activities (i.e., watching television, working/gaming at the computer/consol) [7,8,20]. LeBlanc and co-workers observed that children averaged about 8.5 h of daily sedentary activities [21], while data from epidemiological studies demonstrated that school age children spent only about 9 % of daily time in moderate physical activities [22,23].…”
