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...
In 1995 the American College of Sports Medicine and Centers for Disease Control Prevention published national guidelines on Physical Activity Public Health. The Committee Exercise Cardiac Rehabilitation Heart Association endorsed supported these recommendations. purpose present report is to update clarify recommendations types amounts physical activity needed by healthy adults improve maintain health. Development this document was an expert panel scientists, including physicians,...
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 Energy cost was established a review published and unpublished data.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...
Previous measures of physical activity for epidemiologic studies were considered inadequate to meet the needs a community-based health education trial. Therefore, new methods quantifying habits communities developed which are practical large surveys, provide information on distribution in population, can detect changes over time, and be compared with other activity. Independent self-reports vigorous (at least 6 metabolic equivalents (METs) ), moderate (3-5 METs), total energy expenditure...
STEWART, A. L., K. M. MILLS, C. KING, W. L. HASKELL, D. GILLIS, and P. RITTER. CHAMPS Physical Activity Questionnaire for Older Adults: outcomes interventions. Med. Sci. Sports Exerc., Vol. 33, No. 7, 2001, pp. 1126–1141. Purpose To evaluate effectively interventions to increase physical activity among older persons, reliable valid measures of are required that can also detect the expected types changes in this population. This paper describes a self-report questionnaire men women, developed...
Abstract Assessment of habitual physical activity in epidemiologic and health education studies has been difficult A seven-day recall interview was developed administered a community survey, randomized clinical trial, two worksite promotion programs during 1979–1982. These were conducted several populations California, Texas, Pennsylvania, New Jersey. Energy expenditure estimates from the conformed to expected age- sex-specific values cross-sectional survey. Estimates energy also congruent...
BACKGROUND Recent clinical trials have shown that modification of plasma lipoprotein concentrations can favorably alter progression coronary atherosclerosis, but no data exist on the effects a comprehensive program risk reduction involving both changes in lifestyle and medications. This study tested hypothesis intensive multiple factor over 4 years would significantly reduce rate atherosclerosis arteries men women compared with subjects randomly assigned to usual care their physician....

We studied separately the influence of two methods for losing fat weight on levels plasma lipids and lipoproteins in overweight sedentary men — decreasing energy intake without increasing exercise (diet), expenditure altering (exercise, primarily running) a one-year randomized controlled trial. As compared with controls (n = 42), dieters 42) had significant loss total body (-7.8±0.9 kg [mean ±SE]), (-5.6±0.8 kg), lean (nonfat) (-2.1±0.5 kg) (P<0.001 each variable), exercisers 47) (-4.6±0.8...
Limited data are available on the relation between physical fitness and mortality from cardiovascular disease. We examined this question in a study of 4276 men, 30 to 69 years age, whom we followed for an average 8.5 years. Examinations at base line included assessment conventional coronary risk factors treadmill exercise testing. The heart rate during submaximal (stage 2 test) duration were used as measures fitness. Men with incomplete (n = 308) or who using drugs 213) excluded analysis....
Guidelines established by the National Cholesterol Education Program (NCEP) promote exercise and weight loss for treatment of abnormal lipoprotein levels. Little is known, however, about effects or NCEP diet, which moderately low in fat cholesterol, persons with levels that place them at high risk coronary heart disease.
ContextThe Heart and Estrogen/progestin Replacement Study (HERS) was a randomized trial of estrogen plus progestin therapy after menopause.ObjectiveTo examine the effect long-term postmenopausal hormone on common noncardiovascular disease outcomes.Design SettingRandomized, blinded, placebo-controlled 4.1 years' duration subsequent open-label observational follow-up for 2.7 years (HERS II), carried out between 1993 2000 in outpatient community settings at 20 US clinical centers.ParticipantsA...
Background Although exercise parameters such as intensity and format have been shown to influence participation rates physiological outcomes in the short term, few data are available evaluating their longer-term effects. The study objective was determine 2-year effects of differing intensities formats endurance on rates, fitness, plasma HDL cholesterol levels among healthy older adults. Methods Results Higher-intensity, group-based training; higher-intensity, home-based exercise;...
The extent to which light-intensity physical activity contributes health in older adults is not well known. authors examined associations between across the intensity spectrum (sedentary vigorous) and well-being variables adults. Two 7-day assessments of accelerometry from 2005 2007 were collected 6 months apart observational Senior Neighborhood Quality Life Study aged >65 years Baltimore, Maryland, Seattle, Washington. Self-reported psychosocial (e.g., lower-extremity function, body weight,...
