PURPOSE The Compendium of Physical Activities was developed to enhance the comparability of results across studies using self-report physical activity (PA) and is used to quantify the energy cost of a wide variety of PA. We provide the second update of the Compendium, called the 2011 Compendium. METHODS The 2011 Compendium retains the previous coding scheme to identify the major category headings and specific PA by their rate of energy expenditure in MET. Modifications in the 2011 Compendium…

Design and Evaluation of a Computer-Based 24-Hour Physical Activity Recall (cpar24) Instrument

Evaluation of a computer-based 24-hour physical activity recall instrument with respect to the recalled 24-h period shows that the cpar24 is a valid and reproducible Web-based measure of physical activity in adults.

Context of Physical Activity in a Representative Sample of Adults.

Lifestyle activities are more frequently reported than sports and/or recreational activities and a multidomain approach is needed to better understand and increase MVPA in diverse populations of US adults.

Design and Evaluation of a Computer-Based 24-Hour Physical Activity Recall ( cpar 24 ) Instrument

Evaluated data show that the cpar24 is a valid and reproducible Web-based measure of physical activity in adults and shows modest to high intraclass correlation coefficients for sedentary, light, and moderate to vigorous activities.

How can Physical Activity be Measured in Primary Health Care ?

The tools that could be useful in primary health care due to their ease in application and efficiency are the following: Rapid Assessment of Physical Activity (RAPA), IPAQ (International Physical activity Questionnaire), and the Spanish short version of the Minnesota Leisure Time Physical Activity Questionnaire (VREM).

Accelerometer output and MET values of common physical activities.

This study provides valuable information about data collection, metabolic responses, and accelerometer output for common physical activities in a diverse participant sample, and linear regression models are inappropriate for accurately predicting METs from accelerometers output.

Assessment of habitual physical activity by a seven-day recall in a community survey and controlled experiments.

The physical activity recall provides useful estimates of habitual physical activity for research in epidemiologic and health education studies, and changes in energy expenditure were associated with changes in maximal oxygen uptake and body fatness.

Energy costs of physical activities in children and adolescents.

Energy expenditure per kilogram of body mass at rest or during exercise is greater in children than adults and varies with pubertal status, thus using the definition of a MET in the compendium of physical activities without adjustment is inadequate for energy estimation in children.
