What are ways that you can measure Physical Activity as a population?
- Monitor the frequency of Physical Activity in defined groups
- Monitor the achievement of NPAG’s
What is Social Desirability Bias?
Where individuals self-reports an answer inaccurately in order to present themselves in a better perspective in relation to PA levels
What is Reliable Information Collection?
Dependable survey as it gives comparable results each time it is administered
What is Metabolic Equivalent and many METs signifies each level of intensity?
Measurement that expresses the oxygen cost of energy expenditure (or calories) for physical activities.
• 1 MET is the energy expenditure at rest
• 1 - 3 METs is low intensity activity
• 4 - 6.5 METs is moderate
• 7+ is vigorous
What is Perceived Exertion?
A scale that determines is how hard you feel like your body is working
What are some examples of Policy characteristics of the Social-Ecological Model?
- Funding Policies
- Urban Planning Policies

- Mandated Physical Activity Classes
- Workplace Policies
- Health Policies
- Environmental Policies
What is the difference between Subjective and Objective Methods of Measuring PA
Subjective Methods are ones which rely on a person’s recall and personal perception of the details in which they completed the physical activity. Objective Methods are ones are not influenced by personal perceptions or opinions of the target subject. This diminishes the opportunity for bias when collecting data.
What are the advantages and disadvantages of a Recall?
A: Quick and Easy, Cheap
D: Social Desirability conflicts, Questions must be carefully worded for various populations, Memory Limitations
What are the advantages and disadvantages of a Proxy?
A: Cheap, Accurate data can be obtained from parents for children
D: Social Desirability conflicts
What are the advantages and disadvantages of a Diary/Log?
A: Quantitative and Qualitative, Quick and Easy, Cheap
D: Limited age group availability (cognitive abilities), Participant Burden
What are the advantages and disadvantages of a Accelerometer?
A: Light and Non-invasive, Good alternative for children, Low burden
D: Expensive, No contextual information provided, May take expert to interpret
What are the advantages and disadvantages of a Pedometer?
A: Cheap, Light and Non-invasive, Immediate feedback leads to positive behaviour
D: Doesn’t address FITD, Only assesses walking/running, Influence of body size is irrelevant
What are the advantages and disadvantages of a Direct Observation?
A: Contextual information collection, Quantitative and Qualitative, Addresses all aspects of FITD
D: Difficult for large groups, Reactivity may occur, Labour-intensive & time consuming
