In boys, physical activity was progressively lower across the weight spectrum, but in girls physical activity was consistently low across all weight categories. Intervention is required prior to 8 years old to prevent weight-related declines in physical activity in boys and further research is required to determine at what age, if ever, weight related differences in physical activity are apparent in girls.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.ijbnpa.org\/content\/5\/1\/67\" target=\"_blank\" class=\"broken_link\">Read more<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>176 boys and 169 girls aged 8-9 years old took part in a longitudinal study of associations between eating behaviours, PA and weight gain during childhood.
