Levels of physical activity and sedentary time among 10- to 12-year-old boys and girls across 5 European countries using accelerometers: an observational study within the ENERGY-project
Open accessAbstract
BACKGROUND: The study aim was to objectively assess levels of sedentary time, light, moderate and vigorous physical activity (PA) among 10-12 year olds across five European countries and to examine differences in sedentary time and PA according to gender and country. METHODS: 686 children (mean age = 11.6 ± 0.8 years, 53% girls, mean BMI = 19.0 ± 3.4 kg/m(2)) from Belgium, Greece, Hungary, the Netherlands and Switzerland wore Actigraph accelerometers and had at least 2 weekdays with minimum 10 h-wearing time and 1 weekend day with minimum 8 h-wearing time. Data were analyzed using multivariate analyses of covariance. RESULTS: Girls spent significantly more time sedentary (500 minutes/day) than boys (474 minutes/day) and significantly less time in light (267 minutes/day) and moderate-to-vigorous PA (32 minutes/day) than boys (284 minutes/day; 43 minutes/day respectively; p < 0.001). 4.6% of the girls and 16.8% of the boys met moderate-to-vigorous PA recommendations of at least 60 minutes/day. Greek boys were more sedentary (510 minutes/day; all at p < 0.05) than other boys. Dutch girls were less sedentary (457 minutes/day; all at p < 0.05) than other girls. Swiss girls displayed more moderate-to-vigorous PA (43 minutes/day; at p < 0.05) than other girls. CONCLUSIONS: Large proportions of children across different European countries did not meet PA recommendations and spent a lot of time sedentary. Mean time spent in moderate-to-vigorous PA was significantly lower than the recommended 60 minutes. Obesity prevention programmes focusing on both decreasing sedentary time and increasing light, moderate and vigorous PA are needed for European children, particularly girls.

TL;DR
This cross-European observational study objectively measured sedentary time and physical activity in 10- to 12-year-olds using accelerometers. It found that most children did not meet MVPA recommendations, with girls more sedentary and less active than boys.
Key findings
- Girls spent significantly more time sedentary (500 min/day) than boys (474 min/day) and significantly less time in light PA (267 vs. 284 min/day) and MVPA (32 vs. 43 min/day; all p < 0.001).
- Only 4.6% of girls and 16.8% of boys met the MVPA recommendation of at least 60 min/day.
- Greek boys were more sedentary (510 min/day) than other boys, Dutch girls were less sedentary (457 min/day) than other girls, and Swiss girls had more MVPA (43 min/day) than other girls (all at p < 0.05).
- No significant differences were found in LPA between the five countries.
Methods
- Cross-sectional observational study within the ENERGY-project; 686 children (mean age 11.6 ± 0.8 years, 53% girls, mean BMI 19.0 ± 3.4 kg/m²) from Belgium, Greece, Hungary, the Netherlands, and Switzerland.
- Children wore Actigraph accelerometers and were included with at least 2 weekdays of ≥10 h wearing time and 1 weekend day of ≥8 h wearing time; sedentary, LPA, MPA, and VPA were estimated using Treuth cut-points.
- Multivariate analyses of covariance examined differences by gender and country, adjusted for age, month of wearing, accelerometer model, and language spoken at home.
Limitations
- The paper states that accelerometers do not measure arm movement or swimming, do not distinguish lying, sitting, and standing still, and underestimate cycling and some other activities.
- The paper reports a relatively large drop-out of accelerometer data due to insufficient valid days, and notes that dropouts may have been less active or, conversely, more active and inconvenienced by wearing the device.
- The paper notes use of three Actigraph models (GT1M, GT3X, Actitrainer) and that reduced sensitivity in low-count ranges in the GT1M may make it somewhat less suited for monitoring sedentary time and LPA; the cross-sectional design also makes causal inference impossible (evident from the text).

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Claims read by deepseek-v4.1-flash under definition version 3 (extract-v3) on 2026-10-10.
Classified by jev-1.13-20260917 (gold-guideline-v0.2) on 2026-10-10.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
