“…Physical activity levels were investigated using the Human Activity Profile (HAP), a 94‐item self‐report tool that provides an estimate of the individual's general physical activity, also validated to estimate the oxygen consumption in submaximal activities of stroke survivors (Brito et al., 2020). Daily physical activity items, such as cooking your own meal must be answered by the respondent whether they “still do it,” “never have done it” or “have stopped doing it.” Each reply will be counted to provide the following primary scores: the maximum activity score (MAS), which corresponds to the numbering of the most difficult activity, the subject “still does,” and the adjusted activity score (AAS) calculated by subtracting from the MAS the number of items that the respondent “has stopped doing,” prior to the last one he “still does” (Souza et al., 2006).…”

Background and objectiveIndividuals after stroke are likely to deal with the possible development of sarcopenia and reduced physical activity levels. The purpose of this study was to compare sarcopenia of individuals with chronic stroke who were stratified according to their physical activity levels, and to evaluate the relationship between sarcopenia and physical activity levels.Materials and MethodsThis cross‐sectional study was conducted with individuals after chronic stroke recruited from the general community. Individuals were submitted to sarcopenia screening (SARC‐F questionnaire) and assessment of physical activity levels (Human Activity Profile questionnaire) to classify the individuals as impaired, moderately active, and active according to their Adjusted Activity Status (AAS). ANOVA was used to investigate the sarcopenia between groups and Pearson's coefficient to investigate the association among variables.ResultsFifty‐four individuals with a mean age of 56 ± 17.4 years were included. Twenty‐one percent of the individuals were screened for sarcopenia. Inactive individuals had higher mean scores in the SARC‐F (3.6 ± 2.1 points), whereas moderately active and active individuals presented lower mean scores in the same questionnaire, being 1.2 ± 1.1 points and 0.5 ± 0.7 points, respectively. A statistically significant inverse and high association was found between sarcopenia and physical activity levels (r = −0.716; p < 0.01).ConclusionSarcopenia was found to be higher in individuals after chronic stroke with lower physical activity levels considered inactive when compared to individuals with higher physical activity levels. Furthermore, there was an inverse relationship between sarcopenia and physical activity level in stroke survivors.

“…25,26 It is also valid for estimating aerobic fitness and for assessing the exercise capacity of post-stroke individuals. 16 The HAP allows the assessment of physical activity levels using 94 questions about routine activities that require high or low energy expenditure. 16 The participant must reply whether one still does, has stopped doing, or has never done the proposed tasks.…”

“…25 Using the result of the AAS and the age range of the individual, the estimated Vȯ2peak (in mL kg −1 min −1 ) of the individual is determined and thus their aerobic fitness is calculated by analyzing the LEC, in mL kg −1 min −1 . 16 This provides an estimate of the actual Vȯ2peak. 16…”

“…The HAP can provide an estimate of aerobic capacity by analyzing the Lifestyle Energy Consumption (LEC) score. 16 Added to this, the phenomenon of aging is a major global challenge, 17 being an important factor for the increase in stroke cases as a result of the aging process. 18 In addition, the number of people who survive after stroke has grown substantially, due to treatment in the acute and subacute phases, causing individuals to live for a long time with the consequences of the disease.…”

Introduction: Stroke commonly causes low aerobic fitness and walking speed. Objective: To compare the estimated aerobic fitness of the community and non-community elderly individuals after chronic stroke. Investigate the association between walking speed and aerobic fitness. Methods: Elderly people after stroke classified as community walkers or limited community walkers, according to their walking speed (10-m walk test), in m/s, were assessed with The Human Activity Profile (HAP). The Lifestyle Energy Consumption (LEC) score of the HAP was used to estimate aerobic fitness through the peak oxygen uptake (V̇o2peak). Results: Aerobic fitness of elderly individuals after stroke classified as community walkers was on average 17.3 (6.0) mL kg−1 min−1, while for non-community walkers, it was on average 10.2 (5.6) mL kg−1 min−1. There was a significant difference between groups (−7.05, 95% CI −10.98 to −3.12; P < .001). A statistically significant (P < .001) association with moderate magnitude (r = 0.587) was observed between the LEC and the habitual walking speed. Conclusions: Individuals with lower walking speed have lower aerobic fitness.
