Bi-Directional Associations Between Real-Time Affect and Physical Activity in Weight-Discordant Siblings

Specifically, momentary negative affect may impede momentary MVPA among youth with higher z-BMI. Further research is warranted to elucidate factors influencing these momentary associations and the extent to which these momentary associations prospectively predict weight change.
