Does birth weight influence physical activity in youth? A combined analysis of four studies using objectively measured physical activity.

Animal models suggest growth restriction in utero leads to lower levels of motor activity. Furthermore, individuals with very low birth weight report lower levels of physical activity as adults. The aim of this study was to examine whether birth weight acts as a biological determinant of physical ac...
