Abstract
The purpose was to characterize physical activity (PA), sedentary time (ST), and body composition across collegiate years. 143 participants (Age: 19.7±1.2yrs) were measured using a modified fourcompartment model and the Long International Physical Activity Questionnaire. Two-way ANOVAs and Pearson Correlations were utilized. For males, PA and ST were significant across class year. Vigorous PA and ST were significantly correlated to %body fat (p=0.001 and p=0.036, respectively) and fat mass (p=0.002 and p=0.023, respectively) suggesting vigorous PA and reduced ST may be associated with improved body composition. Males expressed differences in PA and ST across class year while females were stable. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
