Description
Summary:About 30 years ago, Blair and collaborators proposed a theoretical model illustrating the relationships between childhood and adulthood physical activity and health. The evolution of our societies has led to a “sedentarisation” of the subsequent generations, and the literature underlines an independent effect of physical activity and sedentary behaviors on health. We propose here an updated version of the model first designed by Blair and colleagues, suggesting the integration of the impact of sedentary behaviors on children and adult health. •Physical activity and sedentary behaviors are a complementary and distinct construct related to health•Children sedentary behaviors impact childhood and adult health•Children sedentary behaviors are associated with adulthood sedentary behavior
