The main objective of this study was to estimate the contribution of genetic factorsto physical activity patterns (PAPs) in twins using approximate entropy (ApEn) statistics. Thesample consisted of 162 monozygotic and dizygotic twins from Portugal aged 6 to 18 years.Physical activity was measured wi...
