Activity Assessment

The use of movement registration for daily physical activity assessment was evaluated during a 7-day period in 30 free-living subjects. Body movement was registered with a Tracmor motion sensor consisting of a triaxial accelerometer and a data unit for on-line processing of accelerometer output over 1-min intervals. Average Tracmor output was correlated against four different energy estimates: 1) average daily metabolic rate (ADMR), determined with doubly labeled water; 2) ADMR-sleeping metabolic rate (SMR; determined in a respiration chamber); 3) (ADMR-SMR) per kilogram of body mass; and 4) the overall physical activity level (PAL = ADMR/SMR). The highest correlation was found for the relationship between Tracmor output and PAL (r = 0.58). After correction for Tracmor values arising from vibrations produced by transportation means, this correlation was improved to 0.73. There was no difference between Tracmor output and PAL in discriminating between overall activity levels with "low" (PAL < 1.60), "moderate" (1.60 < or = PAL < or = 1.85), and "high" (PAL > 1.85) intensity. It is concluded that the Tracmor can be used in free-living subjects to distinguish among interindividual as well as intraindividual levels of daily physical activity.

Abstract Backgrounds & Aims: There is evidence that physical activity plays an essential role in preventing pregnancy-related diseases. This study aimed to develop and design a theory-based physical activity assessment questionnaire for pregnant women (PA2Q-PW). Methods: The PEN-3 cultural model provided the theoretical foundations for the four subscales of our designed instrument; knowledge, attitude, nurture, and enabling. The primary questionnaire was designed with 41 items, and the questionnaire was modified according to the experts' reviews. At last, a group of 400 pregnant women participated in a study to calculate the psychometrics of the tool. Results: The highest score was seen in the knowledge subscale of PA2Q-PW, and the value of Cronbach's alpha for the subscales was from 0.89 to 0.97, and the value of ICC was from 0.76 to 0.89. The correlation (CVI & CVR indices) between the experts was satisfactory in all items of PA2Q-PW. The minimum loading factor for varimax rotation in the knowledge subscale was 0.41; the attitude was 0.56, nurtures were 0.38, and enabling was 0.27. Conclusion: PA2Q-PW is the first standard tool based on the PEN-3 cultural model that researchers can utilize to gather data and conduct the desired education interventions to change physical activity behavior in pregnant women during pregnancy.
