Abstract
Unimpaired adults born preterm at very low birth weight (<1500 g) consistently have lower conditioning physical activity than those born at term. We used wrist-worn accelerometers to measure objectively physical activity in 57 very low birth weight and 47 control subjects aged 25 years. We found no difference in any physical activity measures.
