Question 23

Lifestyle physical activity

Answer 23

Should be the most common form of activity undertaken daily, can be easily integrated as part of life, easy to perform, low to moderate intensity

Question 24

Guidelines for 13-17 years (PA)

Answer 24

60 minutes of moderate to vigorous intensity physical activity every day.
Should include a variety of aerobic activities, including
some vigorous intensity activity.
Three days per week, young people should engage in activities that strengthen muscle and bone.
Young people should engage in more activity

Question 25

Limit use of technology to 2 hours a day | Break up extended periods of sitting as often as possible

Question 26

Answer 26

Doing any physical activity is better than doing none Be active on most, preferably all, days every week. Accumulate 150 to 300 minutes (2 ½ to 5 hours) of moderate intensity physical activity or 75 to 150 minutes (1 ¼ to 2 ½ hours) of vigorous intensity physical activity, or an equivalent combination Do muscle strengthening activities on at least 2 days each week.

Guidelines for 18-64 years (sedentary)

Answer 27

Minimise prolonged sitting | Break up extended periods of sitting as much as possible

Question 28

Why do we measure PA?

Answer 28

Determine physical activity levels in a population Identify high-risk subgroups by demographic characteristics (age, sex, ethnicity) and geographic location Prioritize these populations for targeted interventions Evaluate the effectiveness of interventions Study the relationships between physical activity and health conditions

Question 29

Subjective

Answer 29

Rely on a person recalling or remembering which activities they participated in, or recalling their perception of the intensity of the session. What a person experiences based on their past experiences, feelings, opinions and thoughts.

Answer 33

``` Pedometers Accelerometers Heart rate monitors Inclinometers Direct observation Digital tools ```

Question 34

Advantages of subjective

Answer 34

Can capture both quantitive and qualitative information Can be administered quickly and easily Cost effective for large-scale studies Usually low burden on participants
