A further aim was to analyse the variance of PA between quartiles of BF and BMI. <\/jats:p>\n               <jats:p>Material and methods: A cross-sectional, observational study of 126 university students (53 males aged 20.46 \u00b1 2.04 years and 73 female aged 19.69 \u00b1 1.32 years) was conducted. <\/jats:p>\n               <jats:p>Results: The female participants and PA characteristics explain 57.10% of BF variance and the model was statistically signifi\u00adcant (F<jats:sub>(6, 875)<\/jats:sub> = 196.38; p = 0.001). BMI was also included in the model. Standard binary logistic regression was used to test the hypothesis that female sex and PA characteristics can influence overweight. The full model containing all variables was statistically significant (G<jats:sup>2<\/jats:sup>(6) = 58.598, p-value = 0.001). Analysis of variance between BF quartiles revealed statistically sig\u00adnificant differences in male participants in light PA (p = 0.001; ES = 0.09), moderate PA (p = 0.001; ES = 0.042) and vigorous PA (p = 0.001; ES = 0.130). <\/jats:p>\n               <jats:p>Conclusions: The statistical model in the regression analysis suggests that low and vigorous levels of PA explain 57% of BF variance in female participants. <\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1515\/bhk-2017-0018","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2017,9,8]],"date-time":"2017-09-08T10:01:04Z","timestamp":1504864864000},"page":"124-132","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":6,"title":["Association between physical activity patterns and anthropometric characteristics of adults: an issue of public health?"],"prefix":"10.1515","volume":"9","author":[{"given":"Filipe Manuel","family":"Clemente","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Instituto Polit\u00e9cnico de Viana do Castelo, Escola Superior de Desporto e Lazer, Desporto e Lazer , Portugal"},{"name":"Instituto de Telecomunica\u00e7\u00f5es, Delega\u00e7\u00e3o da Covilh\u00e3 , Portugal"}]},{"given":"Fernando Manuel Louren\u00e7o","family":"Martins","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Instituto de Telecomunica\u00e7\u00f5es, Delega\u00e7\u00e3o da Covilh\u00e3 , Portugal"},{"name":"Polytechnic Institute of Coimbra, Coimbra College of Education, RoboCorp, ASSERT, Coimbra , Portugal"}]},{"given":"Pantelis Theodoros","family":"Nikolaidis","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Physical and Cultural Education, Hellenic Army Academy, Athens , Greece"}]},{"given":"Rui Sousa","family":"Mendes","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Polytechnic Institute of Coimbra, Coimbra College of Education, RoboCorp, ASSERT, Coimbra , Portugal"}]}],"member":"374","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2017,9,8]]},"reference":[{"key":"2021040905141583346_j_bhk-2017-0018_ref_001_w2aab2b8b2b1b7b1ab1ab1Aa","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","unstructured":"1.
