Here, any intensity of physical activity was associated with a decrease in total cholesterol, with higher MVPA being associated with reduced SBP, whereas higher LIPA being associated with decreased measures of adiposity, in individuals with coronary heart disease.

- 72 participants (predominantly males) with a mean age of 64 years were recruited to this 12-month observational study.

- Participants were included if they had stable CHD and were receiving optimal medical treatment ± revascularisation.

- Any intensity of physical activity was associated with a decrease in total cholesterol, regardless of time.

- Higher moderate-to-vigorous physical activity was associated with decreased systolic blood pressure.

- Higher light-intensity physical activity was associated with decreased measures of adiposity.

- More sedentary behaviour bouts and breaks per day were associated with increased total cholesterol, anxiety and depression, although interestingly an increase in sedentary behaviour bouts and breaks over time was associated with a decrease in systolic blood pressure.

['No sedentary behaviour variables were significantly associated with waist circumference, BMI, health-related quality-of-life, HDL or blood glucose levels.']
