Q

Adult NPAGS 4 guidelines

A
  • think of movement as an opportunity and not an inconvenience
  • be active EVERYDAY in as many ways as you can
  • put together at least 30+ mins of mod intensity PA on most or all days
  • if possible do vig activity for extra health benefits

15
Q

Reactivity

A

Changing PA behaviour I.e could be due to direct observation

16
Q

METS

A

Metabolic equivalent table

- measure of energy expenditure during activity

17
Q

LOW Intensity

A

Lightest form, little energy expenditure
< 3 METS
< 50 MHR
walking, golf, gardening

18
Q

MODERATE intensity

A

Mod energy expenditure, sustained rhythmic movement
3-6 METS
50-70 or <85 MHR
dancing, cycling

19
Q

VIG Intensity

A

High energy, substantial increase in HR and RR
7+ METS
70 or 85+ MHR
skipping, boxing, squash

20
Q

Purposes of measuring PA (population level)

A
  • identify frequency and distribution trends
  • monitor
  • study relationships
  • identify the biological, psychological and environmental factors influencing PA
  • evaluate effectiveness
21
Q

Subjective measures

A

Relies on a person recalling which activities they participated in and their perception of how intense the activity was
Examples: self report/proxy report( carer), recall (survey), diaries and logs

22
Q

Self/proxy report

A

Incl: self administered and interviews, recalls through the use of interviews, questionnaires, diaries or logs
Proxy report- when an individual reports on the behalf of someone else eg, parent- child, carer - patient

23
Q

Self/proxy report advantages

A
  • ability to assess PA across multiple domains
  • low participant burden
  • low cost
  • administered quickly to large audience
  • can predict approx energy expenditure
  • can be qualitative or quantitive
24
Q

Self/proxy report disadvantages

A
  • validity problems- social desirability bias, ( what people think they should say)
  • recalling can be hard - kids, older adults
  • Sensitivity - peeps changing habits when they know bout a test? Eat better, more PA
25
Q

Recall

A

( usually a survey)

  • short, simple questions
  • recalling behaviours
  • can be proxy or self
  • active Australia survey
26
Q

Recall advantages

A
  • low participant burden
  • low cost
  • gives info across multiple domains
  • can provide basic data to assess PA patterns in a population
  • administered quickly to a large audience
  • can predict approx energy expenditure
  • can be qualitative or quantitive
27
Q

Recall disadvantages

A
  • validity probs - social desirability bias
  • recall problems e.g. Kids, elders
  • sensitivity I.e change in diet and/or PA levels
28
Q

Diaries and logs

A

Diaries - records all sources of PA in a set time frame

PA logs - documents the PA behaviour or activities being studied by a researcher

29
Q

Diaries and logs advantages

A
  • Able to assess PA across all domains
  • low participant burden
  • low cost
  • administered quickly to a large audience
  • can predict approx energy expenditure
  • qualities or quantitive
30
Q

Relationship between objective and subjective measures

List: practical- accuracy

A
Generally as the increasing practicality decreases accuracy and vice versa
Recall surveys (s), pedometers(o), accelerometers (o), physical logs or diaries (s), direct observation (o)
31
Q

Objective measures

A

Uses either direct observation or a device to gain solid data
E.g, direct observation, HR monitoring, pedometers, accelerometers

32
Q

Heart rate monitoring

A
  • Records beat per minute (bpm)
  • widely used to measure PA
  • there is a linear relationship between HR, VO2 ( oxygen consumption) and EE ( energy expenditure)
33
Q

Heart rate monitoring advantages

A
  • strong association with energy expenditure
  • valid in lab or field settings
  • less of a participant burden
  • good description of several dimensions of PA among adults
  • quick and easy data collection
34
Q

Heart rate monitoring disadvantages

A
  • Expensive with large populations
  • some discomfort caused after long periods of time
  • only useful for aerobic activity
  • HR is influenced by other factors , age, gender, shape, size, medication, mood
  • changes in HR lag behind change in PA, can underestimate someone’s PA and mask sporadic activities
