The purpose of this study was to increase the physical activity of students in the era of the COVID-19 pandemic, to maintain and improve body fitness. A quantitative approach using the experimental design method then with a one - group pretest - posttest design research design. Then the population in this study were UPI students in semesters 2-3, who had low physical activity. with a sample of 12 female students. This research was conducted during the first month of the first week for the pre-test, then the 2nd and 3rd weeks for treatment and ended with the post test for the 4th week, the data was collected using the accelerometer actgraph instrument and the Global Physical Activity Questionnaire (GPAQ). The results of the mets value for the pretest 1.153 to 1.27 for the post-test score, for the average total stepcount value for the pretest 2. 619 to 3340, while the mets value for the pretest GPAQ was 432.67 and then for the posttest value 529.58. The conclusion is that there is a significant influence from the virtual community for physical activity on the physical activity of students during the Covid-19 pandemic.Pengaruh virtual community for physical activity terhadap aktivitas fisik mahasiswa di era pandemi Covid-19AbstrakPenelitian ini adalah untuk meningkatkan aktivitas fisik mahasiswa di era pandemi covid -19, untuk menjaga dan meningkatkan kebugaran tubuh. Pendekatan penelitian adalah penelitian kuantitatif dengan metode eksperimen desain one - group pretest - posttest design. Sampel pada penelitian ini adalah mahasiswi UPI semester 2 sampai dengan 3 yang mempunyai aktivitas fisik rendah. Penelitian ini dilaksanakan selama satu bulan, minggu pertama untuk pre-test, lalu minggu ke 2 dan 3 untuk perlakuan dan diakhiri dengan post-test untuk pada minggu ke-4. Instrumen pengambilan data yang digunakan diantaranya accelerometer actigraph dan Global Physical Activity Questionnaire (GPAQ). Hasil dari nilai mets untuk pretest 1,153 menjadi dan meningkat menjadi 1,27 pada akhir perlakuan. Nilai stepcount total rata rata pretest 2619 meningkat menjadi 3340, dan nilai mets pada GPAQ pretest 432.67 meningkat menjadi 529.58. Kesimpulan penelitian ini bahwa terdapat pengaruh yang signifikan dari virtual community for phisical activity terhadap aktivitas fisik mahasiswa pada era pandemi Covid-19

Nghiên cứu nhằm mục tiêu mô tả mức độ vận động thể lực (VĐTL) theo khuyến cáo ở người bệnh tăng huyết áp tại bệnh viện đa khoa Trung tâm Tiền Giang năm 2020. Thiết kế mô tả cắt ngang trên 279 người bệnh tăng huyết áp điều trị ngoại trú bằng phỏng vấn trực tiếp với công cụ GPAQ (Global physical activity questionnaire). Kết quả cho thấy người bệnh tăng huyết áp trong nghiên cứu có cường độ VĐTL đạt mức khuyến cáo là 70,6%. Đối tượng có học vấn trung học phổ thông trở lên tham gia VĐTL đạt khuyến cáo cao hơn (77,6% so với 63,9%) có ý nghĩa thống kê (p = 0,03). Người bệnh có công việc buôn bán liên quan cường độ VĐTL thấp hơn tiêu chuẩn với p = 0,01. Nghiên cứu nhận định sự tuân thủ VĐTL ở người bệnh còn hạn chế trong quản lý bệnh tăng huyết áp. Các yếu tố liên quan như sự hỗ trợ xã hội, đặc điểm côngtrình an sinh công cộng và yếu tố tâm lý nên được khảo sát ở nghiên cứu tiếp theo.

The goal of this study was to develop a Korean version of the Global Physical Activity Questionnaire (K-GPAQ) and to examine its reliability and validity. The English version of the GPAQ was translated to the Korean language (K-GPAQ) via forward–backward translation. Reliability of the K-GPAQ was evaluated using a one-week interval test–retest method with 115 individuals. Criterion-related validity of the K-GPAQ was examined with 199 participants using accelerometers. Cohen’s kappa and Spearman’s correlation coefficients were used to measure test–retest reliability and validity, respectively. A Bland–Altman analysis was used to assess agreement between physical activity (PA) levels measured via K-GPAQ and the accelerometer. Coefficients for the reliability of the K-GPAQ showed moderate agreement for recreational PA and slight agreement for work-related PA (Cohen’s kappa: 0.60–0.67 for recreational PA and 0.30–0.38 for work-related PA and Spearman’s rho: 0.27–0.47 for work-related PA and 0.53–0.70 for recreational PA). Criterion validity of the total amount of PA, as measured by the K-GPAQ and the accelerometer, showed a weak but significant correlation ( r = 0.34, p < 0.01). The K-GPAQ is a reliable and valid questionnaire to measure PA although K-GPAQ overestimated PA levels.

Background: To assess the validity of the single question to determine sedentary behavior (SB) by using the Global Physical Activity Questionnaire (GPAQ) in older adults. Methods: The sample included 163 participants (96 women) aged 65–92 years. Self-reported SB was obtained from the GPAQ. Objectively measured SB was assessed using the Intelligent Device for Energy Expenditure and Activity. Participants wore the Intelligent Device for Energy Expenditure and Activity continuously during 2 consecutive days while following their daily routine. The relative validity was assessed using the Spearman rank correlation coefficient (ρ), and the agreement was examined using mean bias and 95% limit of agreement with the Intelligent Device for Energy Expenditure and Activity as reference. Results: The results showed small correlations (ρ = .291, P < .001) between the SB from the GPAQ and the objective measures, and ranged from ρ = .217 to ρ = .491 depending on the potential moderator. Similarly, the GPAQ underestimates the SB for approximately 2 hours per day in older adults (limit of agreement = −7.3 to 3.4 h/d). Conclusion: The GPAQ may not be the most suitable questionnaire for measuring SB in this population and should be used with caution because those studies that use this questionnaire in older adults may have an inaccurate measurement of SB levels.

El propósito de este estudio ha sido comprobar el efecto del confinamiento COVID-19 durante 17 semanas sobre el grado actividad física y la composición corporal de las personas residentes con discapacidad intelectual. Se ha utilizado un diseño intragrupo de medidas repetidas pre y post confinamiento. Han participado 42 personas adultas con diferentes grados de discapacidad intelectual. Para evaluar el grado de actividad física se ha utilizado el Global Physical Activity Questionnaire (GPAQ) y para el análisis de composición corporal la bioimpedancia eléctrica (InBody-230). Los resultados indican que durante el confinamiento ha existido una reducción media del 89 % en todos los valores de actividad física y un incremento del 28 % de los hábitos sedentarios (p<0.001). Se ha producido una pérdida generalizada de masa muscular (2.5 %; p<0.01), lo que podría interpretarse como una sarcopenia temporal forzada. Como conclusión, se pone de manifiesto la importancia de los programas de actividad física en este colectivo.
