Adult NPAGS 4 guidelines

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

Reactivity

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

METS

Metabolic equivalent table

- measure of energy expenditure during activity

LOW Intensity

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

MODERATE intensity

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

VIG Intensity

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

Purposes of measuring PA (population level)

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

Subjective measures

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

Self/proxy report

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

Self/proxy report advantages

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

Self/proxy report disadvantages

- 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

Recall

( usually a survey) - short, simple questions - recalling behaviours - can be proxy or self - active Australia survey

Recall advantages

- 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

Recall disadvantages

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

Diaries and logs

Diaries - records all sources of PA in a set time frame | PA logs - documents the PA behaviour or activities being studied by a researcher

Diaries and logs advantages

- 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

Relationship between objective and subjective measures | List: practical- accuracy

``` 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) ```

Objective measures

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

Heart rate monitoring

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

Heart rate monitoring advantages

- 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

Heart rate monitoring disadvantages

- 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
