Med. 5, e000596 (2019). This pooled analysis of 11 population cohorts found that questionnaire-measured long bouts (>15 continuous minutes) of vigorous intensity activity were associated with larger reductions in mortality risk than activities of moderate intensity. - DOI

Sports Med. 51, 1–10 (2021). This paper presented a framework for future VILPA research comprising the development of: (1) an empirical definition of VILPA; (2) device-based methods to measure VILPA; (3) approaches to explore the short- and long-term dose–response effects of VILPA; and (4) scalable and acceptable behavioral VILPA-promoting interventions. - DOI
