Physical activity assessment with accelerometers in children.
Accelerometers for movement registration have the potential to reflect the volume, pattern, intensity, type, and energy expenditure of physical activity(1,2). Developments are still ongoing with regard to reduction of the size of the instruments, lengthening of battery life and translation of the output to meaningful information for the user. Instruments with the capacity for most or all functi...
متن کاملPhysical activity assessment in children and adolescents.
Chronic disease risk factors, including a sedentary lifestyle, may be present even in young children, suggesting that early prevention programmes may be critical to reducing the rates of chronic disease. Accurate assessment of physical activity in children is necessary to identify current levels of activity and to assess the effectiveness of intervention programmes designed to increase physical...
متن کاملUse of International Physical Activity Questionnaire-short form for assessment of physical activity of children
The authors used International Physical Activity Questionnaire‐Short Form‐A (IPAQ‐SF) to assess physical activity and calculate metabolic equivalent for participants belonging to the age group 10–15 years. However, the IPAQ Guidelines for data processing and analysis clearly indicate that the instrument should be used for ages ranging from 15 to 59 years and that “until further development and ...
متن کاملBehavioral assessment of physical activity in obese preschool children.
We measured changes in physical activity in 2 obese preschool children when a package intervention was evaluated in a reversal design. Physical activity was measured via direct observation and pedometers. Although the intervention produced only modest increases in activity, the results provide preliminary concurrent validation for the dependent measures used, in that the two measures covaried a...
متن کاملAssessment of a two-year school-based physical activity intervention among 7-9-year-old children
BACKGROUND Physical activity (PA) in children has declined in recent decades, highlighting the need for effective intervention programs for school-aged children. The main objective of this study was to assess to what extent PA during and after school hours changed among children who received a progressive two-year long intervention vs. that of children who only received general curriculum-based...
