Quantifying physical activity in physical education via pedometry: a further analysis of steps/min guidelines.
BACKGROUND The validity of common pedometer steps/min guidelines for 1st-12th grade physical education physical activity (PA) recommendations (ie, 33% and 50% PA) was investigated. METHODS Data sets from previous research, where physical education PA was quantified via pedometry, were combined. Participants (1st-12th grade, N = 1152) with concurrent steps/min and observed %PA scores were incl...
متن کاملQuantifying physical activity in COPD: different measures for different purposes.
We have read with great interest the recent article by Walker et al and the accompanying editorial by Morgan on the measurement of physical activity in chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD). Walker et al compared an activity monitor (DynaPort) with a leg-mounted uniaxial accelerometer (Actiwatch). They concluded that ‘‘lower limb activity is the major determinant of whole body activity’’...
متن کاملLife in slow motion: quantifying physical activity in COPD.
We probably all acknowledge that regular spontaneous physical activity plays a large role in maintaining health and physical fitness. In health, the promotion of regular physical activity has been a feature of active living since at least the time of Ancient Greece. In more modern times we have continued this tradition by encouraging our children to play sport and sustaining recreational physic...
متن کاملPhysical activity in patients with COPD.
The present study aimed to measure physical activity in patients with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) to: 1) identify the disease stage at which physical activity becomes limited; 2) investigate the relationship of clinical characteristics with physical activity; 3) evaluate the predictive power of clinical characteristics identifying very inactive patients; and 4) analyse the reli...
متن کاملBarriers associated with reduced physical activity in COPD patients*
OBJECTIVE To evaluate the ability of COPD patients to perform activities of daily living (ADL); to identify barriers that prevent these individuals from performing ADL; and to correlate those barriers with dyspnea severity, six-minute walk test (6MWT), and an ADL limitation score. METHODS In COPD patients and healthy, age-matched controls, the number of steps, the distance walked, and walking...
