improved strength and endurance
decreases the risk of injury and maintains muscular strength as you age

what is the purpose of measuring PA- pop level

what is the purpose of measuring the PA-individual level?
detects changes in an individuals health
a subjective measure of PA (self-report)
most commonly used
involves some bias with people reporting what they think is socially acceptable

involves watching peoples behaviour within specific settings and recording activities
direct observation advantage
is inexpensive and easy to administer to large groups
direct observation disadvantage
assesses only one type of PA
cannot read and store data in real-time
objective measures accelerometer
sensors that measure the acceleration of object in motion
accelerometer advantage
used in a lab or playing field
small and non invasive
accelerometer disadvantage
expensive for large population
subject compliance issues
diaries subjective measures
provide detailed info on fitt dimensions
limits their abilities to follow instructions
