Meta-analysis for the joint association of muscle-strengthening and aerobic activities with colon cancer incidence and total cancer mortality. Footnote: Three studies performed joint association of muscle-strengthening activities and aerobic MVPA with colon cancer incidence and total cancer mortality. The muscle-strengthening and aerobic activity groups were defined as follow: Total Cancer Mortality: Kamada et al: Insufficient activity (Reference): < 150 min/week of aerobic MVPA and no strength training; Aerobic activities only: Aerobic MVPA ≥150 min/week and no strength training; Muscle-strengthening activities only: < 150 min/week of aerobic MVPA and any strength training; Both: Aerobic MVPA ≥150 min/week and any strength training; Stamatakis et al: Insufficient activity (Reference): < 150 min/week of aerobic MVPA and < 2 times/week of strength training; Aerobic activities only: Aerobic MVPA ≥150 min/week and < 2 times/week of strength training; Muscle-strengthening activities only: < 150 min/week of aerobic MVPA and ≥ 2 times/week of strength training; Both: Aerobic MVPA ≥150 min/week and ≥ 2 times/week of strength training.; Zhao et al.: Insufficient activity (Reference): < 150 min of light to moderate intensity activity each week, or < 75 min of vigorous intensity activity, or less than an equivalent combination and < 2 times/week of muscle-strengthening activities; Aerobic activities only: ≥150 min of light to moderate intensity activity each week, or ≥ 75 min of vigorous intensity activity, or greater than or equal to an equivalent combination and < 2 times/week of muscle-strengthening activities; Muscle-strengthening activities only: < 150 min of light to moderate intensity activity each week, or < 75 min of vigorous intensity activity, or less than an equivalent combination and ≥ 2 times/week of muscle-strengthening activities; Both: ≥150 min of light to moderate intensity activity each week, or ≥ 75 min of vigorous intensity activity, or greater than or equal to an equivalent combination and ≥ 2 times/week of muscle-strengthening activities. Colon cancer incidence: Rezende et al: Insufficient activity (Reference): < 16 MET-h/week of aerobic MVPA and no resistance training; Aerobic activities only: ≥16 MET-h/week of aerobic MVPA and no resistance training; Muscle-strengthening activities only: < 16 MET-h/week of aerobic MVPA and any resistance training; Both: ≥16 MET-h/week of aerobic MVPA and any resistance training. Mazzilli et al: Insufficient activity (Reference): < 7.5 MET-h/week of aerobic MVPA and no weight lifting; Aerobic activities only: ≥7.5 MET-h/week of aerobic MVPA and no resistance tr no weight lifting; Muscle-strengthening activities only: < 7.5-h/week of aerobic MVPA and any weight lifting; Both: ≥7.5 MET-h/week of aerobic MVPA and any weight lifting
