• Psychological Needs and the Quality of Student Engagement in Physical Education: Teachers as Key Facilitators. (2017, background): “Indeed, self-report data from 105 countries show 80.3% of adolescents aged 13–15 years to achieve less than 60-minutes of moderate-to-vigorous activity per day (Hallal et al., 2012).”
• Objectively measured physical activity and sedentary time in youth: the International children’s accelerometry database (ICAD) (2015, background): “Widely accepted public health recommendations are that young people should accumulate at least 60 min of moderate to vigorous intensity physical activity (MVPA) daily [4]; however, data suggest that the majority of youth do not meet these guidelines, with approximately 80 % of 13–15 year olds worldw”
• Physical activity in older people: a systematic review (2013, background): “Despite these recommendations physical inactivity is an increasing global health burden [70] with PA surveillance emerging as one of the priorities of global public health for the development of effective non-communicable disease prevention programmes [59].”
• Theories of physical activity behaviour change: A history and synthesis of approaches (2019, background): “Despite this accrual of evidence and best practice recommendations, population physical activity rates are modest (Hallal et al., 2012).”
• Sedentary behavior and health outcomes among older adults: a systematic review (2014, background): “conducted a global assessment in more than 60 countries and found that the elderly had the highest prevalence of reporting a minimum of 4 hours of sitting time daily [23].”
