Question Answer
DEFINE Recall Survey/questionnaire SUBJECTIVE Individual recalls PA and sedentary behaviours over a specified time period
PROS Recall Survey/questionnaire Provides context quickly administered to large groups cost effective not reactive
CONS Recall Survey/questionnaire Social desirability low validity compared to objective methods not suitable for under 10's or intellectual disability
DEFINE Proxy survey SUBJECTIVE When a parent or guarding fills in a survey for someone who lacks the cognitive ability to fill it in accurately themselves.
PROS Proxy Survey cost effective easily administered to large group not reactive
CONS Proxy Survey Low validity of compared to objective methods person filling in the survey may not be with them all the time (have to estimate)
DEFINE Diary or log SUBJECTIVE Individual maintains a diary of their PA or sedentary behaviour over a period of time
PROS Diary or Log cost effective easily administered to large group low burden provides contextual information
CONS Diary or Log Highly reactive Unsuitable for <10ys or mentaly disabled
DEFINE Direct observation OBJECTIVE Involves watching people objectively & noting specific behaviours or activities they participate in
PROS Direct observation Qualitative & quantitative info provides context used in a number of settings software can be used to analyse data
CONS Direct observation Difficult to use on large groups intrusive high labor/time-intensive reactive (seeing someone watching you) lots of training required
DEFINE Pedometer OBJECTIVE Worn on the hip and assess how many steps a person takes
PROS Pedometer Inexpensive small and lightweight non invasive administer to large groups can promote behaviour change provides immediate feedback
CONS Pedometer Assess only one action (walk/run) can't measure intensity, duration, frequency highly reactive provides no context
DEFINE Accelerometer OBJECTIVE a device worn on the waist or wrist that uses accelerations to calculate effort
PROS Accelerometer Information on intensity frequency & duration measure PA and sedentary behaviour noninvasive (small/lightweight)
CONS Accelerometer Expensive not suitable for large groups no contextual info most models not aquatic low level reactivity initially
Australian Physical Activity & Sedentary Behaviour Guidelines Chilren 0-5 year olds PHYSICAL ACTIVITY 1-5yo engage in 3+ hours everyday SEDENTARY BEHAVIOUR no electronics for 0-2yo <1 hour of electronics for 2-5yo
Australian Physical Activity & Sedentary Behaviour Guidelines Children 5-12 year olds PHYSICAL ACTIVITY frequency: everyday intensity: moderate-vigorous duration: 60+ mins up to several hours SEDENTARY BEHAVIOUR no more than 2 hours of electronics unless educational Break up long periods of sitting as often as possible.
Australian Physical Activity & Sedentary Behaviour Guidelines Youth 12-18 year olds PHYSICAL ACTIVITY frequency: everyday intensity: moderate-vigorous duration: 60+ mins SEDENTARY BEHAVIOUR no more than 2 hours of electronics unless educational Break up long periods of sitting as often as possible.
Australian Physical Activity & Sedentary Behaviour Guidelines adults (18-65) PHYSICAL ACTIVITY frequency: most days (5+ days) D/I: 2.5-5hrs Mod or 1.25-2.5 vig or a combos SEDENTARY BEHAVIOUR Minimise the amount of time spent in prolonged sitting. Break up long periods of sitting as often as possible.
Australian Physical Activity & Sedentary Behaviour Guidelines Older Adults 65+ years old PHYSICAL ACTIVITY frequency: most days (5+ days) intensity: moderate duration: 30+ mins be active everyday in as many ways as possible
Australian Physical Activity & Sedentary Behaviour Guidelines overweight and obese children and youth more PA than currently engaging in
Australian Physical Activity & Sedentary Behaviour Guidelines overweight and obese adults 60 minutes everyday once weight lost 60-90 minutes to avoid weight regain
DIMENSION Type description of PA and its domain
DIMENSION Intensity amount of effort required for the activity (low, mod, vig)
DIMENSION Fequency sessions or days per week
DIMENSION Duration length of session or length of PA during the week
Objective measures pedometers accelerometers direct observation
Subjective measures recall survey proxy survey questionnaires diaries and logs
Sedentary behavior Low levels of energy expenditure (1-2 METS) someone who is highly active can also be highly sedentary, recommendations for 0-5, 5-12, 12-18
