The primary aim of this study was to quantify and describe overall physical activity (PA) levels and sedentary behavior in Norwegian boys with Duchenne muscular dystrophy (DMD), in comparison with healthy controls.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title>Methods<\/jats:title><jats:p>Boys aged 5\u201318\u2009years with DMD were enrolled in this cross\u2010sectional study. Sedentary time, light PA, and moderate\u2010to\u2010vigorous physical activity (MVPA) were measured with use of an accelerometer for seven consecutive days. Data on PA were obtained via self\u2010report questionnaires. Comparisons were drawn between ambulatory and non\u2010ambulatory boys with DMD, and between ambulatory boys with DMD and healthy controls, with data retrieved from a database.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title>Results<\/jats:title><jats:p>Twenty\u2010eight boys with DMD participated, with a mean age of 12.6 (standard deviation 3.6) years, of whom 24 had accelerometry data. Ambulatory boys had higher PA levels compared with non\u2010ambulatory boys (<jats:italic>p<\/jats:italic>\u2009=\u20090.008), and 53% of ambulatory boys met the WHO's recommendation for daily MVPA, whereas none of their non\u2010ambulatory counterparts did. Boys with DMD were less physically active compared with healthy peers.
