WCC VCE PE: Assessing Physical Activity and Sedentary Behaviour
Cards in this deck (32)
- 1DEFINE Recall Survey/questionnaireSUBJECTIVE
Individual recalls PA and sedentary behaviours over a specified time period - 2PROS Recall Survey/questionnaireProvides context
quickly administered to large groups
cost effective
not reactive - 3CONS Recall Survey/questionnaireSocial desirability
low validity compared to objective methods
not suitable for under 10's or intellectual disability - 4DEFINE Proxy surveySUBJECTIVE
When a parent or guarding fills in a survey for someone who lacks the cognitive ability to fill it in accurately themselves. - 5PROS Proxy Surveycost effective
easily administered to large group
not reactive - 6CONS Proxy SurveyLow validity of compared to objective methods
person filling in the survey may not be with them all the time (have to estimate) - 7DEFINE Diary or logSUBJECTIVE
Individual maintains a diary of their PA or sedentary behaviour over a period of time - 8PROS Diary or Logcost effective
easily administered to large group
low burden
provides contextual information - 9CONS Diary or LogHighly reactive
Unsuitable for <10ys or mentaly disabled - 10DEFINE Direct observationOBJECTIVE
Involves watching people objectively & noting specific behaviours or activities they participate in - 11PROS Direct observationQualitative & quantitative info
provides context
used in a number of settings
software can be used to analyse data - 12CONS Direct observationDifficult to use on large groups
intrusive
high labor/time-intensive
reactive (seeing someone watching you)
lots of training required - 13DEFINE PedometerOBJECTIVE
Worn on the hip and assess how many steps a person takes - 14PROS PedometerInexpensive
small and lightweight
non invasive
administer to large groups
can promote behaviour change
provides immediate feedback - 15CONS PedometerAssess only one action (walk/run)
can't measure intensity, duration, frequency
highly reactive
provides no context - 16DEFINE AccelerometerOBJECTIVE
a device worn on the waist or wrist that uses accelerations to calculate effort - 17PROS AccelerometerInformation on intensity
frequency & duration
measure PA and sedentary behaviour
noninvasive (small/lightweight) - 18CONS AccelerometerExpensive
not suitable for large groups
no contextual info
most models not aquatic
low level reactivity initially - 19Australian Physical Activity & Sedentary Behaviour Guidelines Chilren 0-5 year oldsPHYSICAL ACTIVITY
1-5yo engage in 3+ hours everyday
SEDENTARY BEHAVIOUR
no electronics for 0-2yo
<1 hour of electronics for 2-5yo - 20Australian Physical Activity & Sedentary Behaviour Guidelines Children 5-12 year oldsPHYSICAL ACTIVITY
frequency: everyday
intensity: moderate-vigorous
duration: 60+ mins up to several hours
SEDENTARY BEHAVIOUR
no more than 2 hours of electronics unless educational
Break up long periods of sitting as often as possible. - 21Australian Physical Activity & Sedentary Behaviour Guidelines Youth 12-18 year oldsPHYSICAL ACTIVITY
frequency: everyday
intensity: moderate-vigorous
duration: 60+ mins
SEDENTARY BEHAVIOUR
no more than 2 hours of electronics unless educational
Break up long periods of sitting as often as possible. - 22Australian Physical Activity & Sedentary Behaviour Guidelines adults (18-65)PHYSICAL ACTIVITY
frequency: most days (5+ days)
D/I: 2.5-5hrs Mod or 1.25-2.5 vig or a combos
SEDENTARY BEHAVIOUR
Minimise the amount of time spent in prolonged sitting.
Break up long periods of sitting as often as possible. - 23Australian Physical Activity & Sedentary Behaviour Guidelines Older Adults 65+ years oldPHYSICAL ACTIVITY
frequency: most days (5+ days)
intensity: moderate
duration: 30+ mins
be active everyday in as many ways as possible - 24Australian Physical Activity & Sedentary Behaviour Guidelines overweight and obese children and youthmore PA than currently engaging in
- 25Australian Physical Activity & Sedentary Behaviour Guidelines overweight and obese adults60 minutes everyday
once weight lost 60-90 minutes to avoid weight regain - 26DIMENSION Typedescription of PA and its domain
- 27DIMENSION Intensityamount of effort required for the activity (low, mod, vig)
- 28DIMENSION Fequencysessions or days per week
- 29DIMENSION Durationlength of session or length of PA during the week
- 30Objective measurespedometers
accelerometers
direct observation - 31Subjective measuresrecall survey
proxy survey
questionnaires
diaries and logs - 32Sedentary behaviorLow levels of energy expenditure
(1-2 METS)
someone who is highly active can also be highly sedentary,
recommendations for 0-5, 5-12, 12-18
