New research suggests for the first time that frequent bouts of sporadic activity could be just as beneficial to children's health as longer exercise sessions. A team measured the frequency, intensity and duration of bouts of physical activity in a group of children and analyzed the results against a number of health indicators. The results highlighted that the associations between children's activity and health were similar regardless of how the child accumulated the activity.
