  • Osteoarthritis
26
Q

What are the BMI classifications for underweight, overweight and obese?

A

If your BMI is less than 18.5, it falls within the underweight range.
If your BMI is 25.0 to less than 30, it falls within the overweight range.
If your BMI is 30.0 or higher, it falls within the obesity range.

27
Q

What % of Australian adults are considered overweight or obese?

A

  • 3 days a week of muscle and bone activities.
  • Engage in more physical activity - 7 hours a day max.
29
Q

What are the youth sedentary behaviour recommendations (13-17)?

A
  • Limit use of electronic media for entertainment to no more than 2 hours a day - lower levels are associated with reduced health risks.
  • Break up long periods of sitting as often as possible.
30
Q

A
  • Doing any is better than doing none. if you currently do none, start by doing some, and gradually build up to the recommended amount.
  • Be active on most, preferably all, days of the week.
31
Q

Adult sedentary behaviour recommendations (18-64)

A
  • Minimise the amount of time spent in prolonged sitting.
  • Break up long periods of sitting as often as possible.
32
Q

Why do we measure physical activity levels at a population level?

A

To document the frequency and distribution of physical activity in defined groups. To evaluate the effectiveness of any change in physical activity intervention programs.

33
Q

Why do we measure physical activity levels at a individual level?

A

To detect change in an individuals health and/or behaviour. To determine the effect of any change in physical activity behaviour.

34
Q

Define Subjective measure

A

Data collection that requires some level of cognitive or perceptional processing by the participation to create the data. e.g. interviews, logs, diaries, and self reports.

35
Q

Advantage and disadvantage of subjective measures.

A

Advantages
- Cheap and easy to use
- Data on dimension
Disadvantages
- Participants may have difficulty recalling information.
- Inaccurate

36
Q

Define Objective measures

A

Data collection that does not need the participant to process information and exists independently of what the participant thinks.

37
Q

Advantages and Disadvantages for objective measures.

A

Advantages
- low impact on participant
- Increases fitness awareness
- Allows for a range of data to be collected
- Not likely to be reactive/responsive
Disadvantages
- Not suitable for large groups
- Expensive
- Influence physical activity levels/patterns

38
Q

What is a recall survey?

A

A subjective measure. The participant recalls all of the physical activity they completed in the given time period.

39
Q

What is a Diary/Log?

A

A subjective measure. They are ongoing diaries or logs in an attempt to capture all sources and patterns of physical activity during a set time period. Measures physical activity but not sedentary behaviour.

40
Q

What is a pedometer?

A

An objective measure that assesses the total number of steps taken and some models can estimate the total distance travelled, time of movement and energy expenditure.

41
Q

What is a accelerometer?

A

An objective measure that has an electronic motion sensor that detect movement in a vertical plaine as a combined function of frequency and intensity of the movement.

42
Q

What is Direct Observation?

A

A objective measure that involves watching individuals behave in a particular environment such as homes etc. Systems for observing play and leisure activity in youth (SOPLAY). Systems for observing fitness institution time (SOFIT).
