“…Despite the large-scale application, reliability and validity of the measurement of habitual physical activity by questionnaires is low (Shephard 2003). Comparisons with doubly labeled water show generally low correlations with systematic underestimates (Staten et al 2001;Arvidsson et al 2005;Maddison et al 2007;Rush et al 2008), overestimates (Koebnick et al 2005;Mahabir et al 2006), or agreement at the group level with considerable error on an individual level (Bonnefoy et al 2001;Conway et al 2002;Washburn et al 2003). Probably, questionnaires can be adequately used as an activity-ranking instrument.…”

Assessment of physical activity in a free-living environment is important for understanding relations between physical activity and health and determining the effectiveness of interventions. Techniques include behavioral observation, questionnaires in the form of diaries, recall questionnaires and interviews, and physiological markers like heart rate, calorimetry, and motion sensors. The doubly labeled water method has become the gold standard for the validation of field methods of assessing physical activity. Then, questionnaires show a low reliability and validity but can be adequately applied as an activity-ranking instrument. The heart rate requires individual calibration to be an effective method to assess physical activity only at group level. The indicated method for the assessment of habitual physical activity in daily life is a doubly labeled water validated accelerometer. Future developments are simultaneous measurement of body acceleration and heart rate for the assessment of physical fitness. A new generation of accelerometers will provide information on body posture and activity recognition to allow objective assessment of subjects' habitual activities, options for a healthy change, and effects of the follow-up of any changes.

“…On the other hand, other studies assessed leisure time physical activity by questionnaires, which have been shown to under-or overestimate PAEE by up to 60% compared with the DLW technique. 38 IL-6 is the major cytokine regulating the hepatic production of CRP and haptoglobin 39 and is mainly produced by adipose tissue. 40 Several studies have shown that active subjects have lower levels of IL-6 than sedentary individuals.…”

Association between physical activity energy expenditure and inflammatory markers in sedentary overweight and obese women

Objective: Chronic subclinical inflammation and regular physical activity have opposing relationships to obesity-related metabolic diseases. Yet, the association between chronic inflammation and physical activity has rarely been examined in obese subjects. We examined the association between physical activity energy expenditure (PAEE), total (TEE) and resting energy expenditure (REE) and cardiorespiratory fitness (VO 2 peak) with inflammatory markers in overweight/obese women. Design: Cross-sectional study. Methods: The study included 152 overweight/obese postmenopausal women who were sedentary and free of chronic/ inflammatory diseases (mean age: 57.5 (95% confidence interval (CI) 56.7-58.3) years, body mass index (BMI): 32.5 (95% CI 31.8-33.2) kg m À2 ). The following parameters were measured: TEE (doubly labeled water), REE (indirect calorimetry), PAEE (as (TEE Â 0.90)ÀREE), VO 2 peak (ergocycle) and serum high-sensitive C-reactive protein (hsCRP), haptoglobin, soluble tumor necrosis factor-a receptor 1 (sTNFR1), interleukin-6, orosomucoid and white blood cells. Results: Sedentary women with the highest tertile of PAEE (1276 (1233-1319) kcal day À1 ) had lower concentrations of hsCRP and haptoglobin than those in the lowest tertile (587 (553-621) kcal day À1 ) after adjustment for fat mass (Po0.05). Soluble TNFR1 was positively correlated with VO 2 peak, TEE and REE (Po0.05), and hsCRP and orosomucoid were positively associated with REE (Po0.01), whereas haptoglobin was negatively associated with PAEE (Po0.05). In stepwise regression analyses that examined the concomitant associations of components of energy expenditure with inflammatory markers, PAEE remained the only predictor of hsCRP and haptoglobin (Po0.05), explaining 14 and 5%, respectively, of their variation,whereas REE was the only predictor of orosomucoid (r 2 ¼ 0.05, P ¼ 0.02) after adjustment for fat mass. Adding leptin to the regression models results in similar relationships between inflammatory markers and components of energy expenditure. Conclusion: PAEE is an independent predictor of hsCRP and haptoglobin in sedentary overweight/obese postmenopausal women free of chronic disease. Our data support the role of physical activity in reducing subclinical inflammation and risk of metabolic and cardiovascular diseases.

“…walks), which is the best reflection of weekly energy expenditure (MET-min/week) [17,18]. The criteria for evaluation of the level of physical activity used in the study consider contemporary health recommendations, the basis of which is the regularity of undertaking this activity, especially by persons with concomitant cardiovascular diseases, but primarily in the prevention of chronic diseases [19].…”

Comparison of energy expenditure estimates from 4 physical activity questionnaires with doubly labeled water estimates in postmenopausal women

Abstract: When using 3 of the 4 questionnaire methods, postmenopausal women overestimated EEs. Of all women, obese women overestimated daily EE the most.
