Physical inactivity is a global concern, but diverse physical activity measures in use prevent international comparisons. The International Activity Questionnaire (IPAQ) was developed as an instrument for cross-national monitoring of and inactivity.Between 1997 1998, Consensus Group four long short forms the IPAQ instruments (administered by telephone interview or self-administration, with two alternate reference periods, either "last 7 d" "usual week" recalled activity). During 2000, 14...

Compendium of physical activities: an update activity codes MET intensities. Med. Sci. Sports Exerc., Vol. 32, No. 9, Suppl., pp. S498–S516, 2000. We provide updated version the Physical Activities, a coding scheme that classifies specific (PA) by rate energy expenditure. It was developed to enhance comparability results across...
Purpose: The Compendium of Physical Activities was developed to enhance the comparability results across studies using self-report physical activity (PA) and is used quantify energy cost a wide variety PA. We provide second update Compendium, called 2011 Compendium. Methods: retains previous coding scheme identify major category headings specific PA by their rate expenditure in MET. Modifications include cataloging measured MET values source references, when available; addition new codes...
A coding scheme is presented for classifying physical activity by rate of energy expenditure, i.e., intensity. Energy cost was established a review published and unpublished data. This employs five digits that classify purpose (i.e., sports, occupation, self-care), the specific type activity, its intensity as ratio work metabolic to resting (METs). expenditure in kilocalories or per kilogram body weight can be estimated all activities, types. General use this system would enhance...
The American Cancer Society (ACS) publishes Nutrition and Physical Activity Guidelines to serve as a foundation for its communication, policy, community strategies ultimately, affect dietary physical activity patterns among Americans. These Guidelines, published every 5 years, are developed by national panel of experts in cancer research, prevention, epidemiology, public health, such, they represent the most current scientific evidence related risk. ACS include recommendations individual...
Ten commonly used physical activity questionnaires were evaluated for reliability and validity in 78 men women aged 20–59, with varying habits. One month was found to be high all except those pertaining only the last week or month. Longer term test-retest tended lower. Validity studied relation treadmill exercise performance, vital capacity, body fatness, average of 14 4-wk histories 2-d accelerometer readings. No questionnaire measure correlated reading, correlations capacity generally low....
Physical activity (PA) is one of the most important factors for improving population health, but no standardised systems exist international surveillance. The International Activity Questionnaire (IPAQ) was developed purpose this study a comparative physical prevalence across 20 countries. Between 2002–2004, protocol using IPAQ used to assess PA participation in countries [total N = 52,746, aged 18–65 years]. median survey response rate 61%. levels were categorised as "low", "moderate" and...
The deleterious health consequences of physical inactivity are vast, and they paramount clinical research importance. Risk identification, benchmarks, efficacy, evaluation activity behavior change initiatives for clinicians researchers all require a clear understanding how to assess activity. In the present report, we have provided rationale importance assessing levels, documented key concepts in different dimensions, domains, terminology associated with measurement. assessment methods...

Sports Exerc., Vol. 34, No. 8, pp. 1376–1381, 2002. Purpose To examine sources objective measures a group healthy adults (N = 92) participating measurement study. Methods Physical was assessed for up to 21 consecutive days using the Computer Science Applications (CSA) Day-of-the-week effects were evaluated counts (ct·min−1·d−1,...
This paper presents a Compendium of Energy Expenditures for use in scoring physical activity questionnaires and estimating energy expenditure levels youth. Modeled after the adult Physical Activities, Youth contains list over 200 activities commonly performed by youth their associated MET intensity levels. A review existing data collected on cost performing was undertaken incorporated into compendium. About 35% were derived from measured remaining estimated The is useful to researchers...
This is a three-part study that examined the accuracy of five brands electronic pedometers (Freestyle Pacer, Eddie Bauer, L.L. Bean, Yamax, and Accusplit) under variety different conditions. In Part I, 20 subjects walked 4.88-km sidewalk course while wearing two devices same brand(on left right side body) for each trials. There were significant differences among (P < 0.05), with Accusplit approximating actual distance more closely than other models. The Yamax showed close agreement, but...

Sports Exerc., Vol. 32, No. 9, Suppl., pp. S471–S480, 2000. Purpose This study tested the validity for energy expenditure (EE) during activities field laboratory settings. We also evaluated accuracy EE values selected listed 1993 Compendium Physical Activities. Methods A total 81 participants (age 19–74 yr)...
This study was designed to establish prediction models that relate hip and wrist accelerometer data energy expenditure (EE) in field laboratory settings. We also sought determine whether the addition of a would significantly improve EE (METs), compared with model used alone.Seventy participants completed one six activities within categories yardwork, housework, family care, occupation, recreation, conditioning, for total 5 12 tested per activity. measured using Cosmed K4b2 portable metabolic...
Sleep and sedentary active behaviors are linked to cardiovascular disease risk biomarkers, across a 24-hour day, increasing time in 1 behavior requires decreasing another. We explored associations of reallocating sleep, behavior, or with biomarkers. Data (n = 2,185 full sample; n 923 fasting subanalyses) from the cross-sectional 2005-2006 US National Health Nutrition Examination Survey were analyzed. The amounts spent light-intensity activity, moderate-to-vigorous physical activity (MVPA)...

Purpose The purpose this investigation was 1) to evaluate agreement between dual-mode CSA outputs Yamax assessed concurrently under conditions; 2) determine the relationship pedometer-steps per day CSA-time spent in inactivity light-, moderate-, vigorous-intensity activities; 3) identify a...
We evaluated perceived social and environmental supports for physical activity walking using multivariable modeling. Perceptions were obtained on a sample of households in southeastern county. Respondents classified according to levels behaviors. who had good street lighting; trusted their neighbors; used private recreational facilities, parks, playgrounds, sports fields more likely be regularly active. Perceiving neighbors as being active, having access sidewalks, malls associated with...
Environmental factors may play an important role on influencing physical activity (PA) behaviors.Perceptions of access and safety for PA were compared among residents who stratified as low or high in socioeconomic status (SES).Residents a U.S. southeastern county (N = 1,194, 18-96 years age) contacted using random-digit-dial method asked about neighborhood community environmental supports PA. A Geographic Information System (GIS) was used to identify trails, sidewalks, public recreation...
