“…However, respondents were usually diagnosed by subjective methods (questionnaires) [9,10,11]. It has been proved many times that the accuracy of questionnaire research among seniors decreases with age [12,13]. It is therefore necessary to intensify research on the effects of physical activity of the elderly by using objective measurement methods.…”

Nawrocka A, Mynarski W, Cholewa J. Adherence to physical activity guidelines and functional fitness of elderly women, using objective measurement. Ann Agric Environ Med. 2017; 24(4): 632-635. doi: 0.5604/12321966.1231388 Abstract Introduction and objective. Physical activity is an important factor in maintaining the health and functional fitness of elderly people. The aim of the study was to determine the number of senior women meeting the physical activity guidelines, and their level of functional fitness in comparison to women who are not sufficiently physically active. Materials and method. The study involved 61 women, aged 60-75. Physical activity was monitored on seven consecutive days of the week, using a triaxial accelerometer ActiGraph GT3X. Results of the assessment of physical activity were verified against the Global Recommendations of Physical Activity for Health. The Senior Fitness Test (Fullerton Test) was used to evaluate functional fitness. Results. In the studied group, 36.1% achieved the recommended level of physical activity. All those examined mainly undertook physical activity of low intensity. Vigorous physical activity during the week was noted in only 6 seniors. Women who met the recommendations of physical activity achieved significantly better results in test trials, e.g. Chair Stands, Up and Go, Six Minute Step Test. Conclusions. Adherence to physical activity guidelines was associated with better functional fitness of older women. However, less than half of the examined seniors met the Global Recommendations on Physical Activity for Health.

“…But the scores registered by accelerometry are higher than the ones in the studies using the same cut-point criteria (10,16,18) when comparing the average of counts/min and the minutes/day to a moderate-to-high intensity. Having into account that participants had similar ages, were not enrolled in an exercise program, and accelerometry data was recorded for 4 days in all cases, we assume that differences could be related to the accelerometer placement.…”

“…In the same way, the average of the minutes of physical activity achieved by the sample in the four days was represented by the variable PA (min/day), for the two weekdays by WPA (min/day), and for the two weekend days by WndPA (min/day). To determine moderate-to-vigorous physical activity cut-point (MVPA) we followed the most common criteria used in studies where exercise programs were not included when monitoring physical activity with accelerometers: 760 counts/ minute (10,(16)(17)(18). Sedentary women (< 500 counts/min) were excluded (7).…”

ResumenIntroducción: mantenerse físicamente activo se relaciona con la funcionalidad en las personas mayores, pero el impacto de la actividad física diaria en alteraciones como la osteoporosis o la sarcopenia no está claro. Objetivo: el principal objetivo es determinar el impacto de la actividad física diaria (AFD) en la densidad ósea y la fuerza de prensión manual de mujeres mayores. El objetivo secundario es distinguir entre los datos de los días de diario y los fi nes de semana. Métodos: participaron 42 mujeres de entre 65 y 79 años. La AFD se monitorizó con el acelerómetro ActiGraph GT3X (Pensacola, FL, USA) situado en la muñeca de la mano dominante. La densidad de masa ósea se midió mediante absorciometría dual de rayos X (AccuDEXA, SHICK, USA) en el dedo central de la mano dominante; y la fuerza de prensión manual, con el dinamómetro Takei (TKK 5001). Resultados: se encontraron diferencias signifi cativas entre los grupos AFD de intensidad moderada y vigorosa en la edad, el T-score, los counts/min y los min/día de AFD, y la fuerza de prensión manual. Los minutos de AFD realizados los fi nes de semana correlacionaron signifi cativamente con todas las variables. La edad es un factor de confusión. Conclusiones: una mayor intensidad de AFD alcanzada por nuestra muestra de mujeres mayores preserva los valores de T-score (desviaciones estándar óseas respecto a personas jóvenes y sanas) y fuerza manual en un rango normal. Estos resultados están fuertemente infl uenciados por los valores alcanzados los fi nes de semana. La edad debería ser controlada. AbstractIntroduction: Being physically active is related to a better physical functioning in older people, but daily physical activity impact in specifi c outcomes such as osteoporosis or sarcopenia is still not clear. Objective: The main objective of this study is to determine the impact of daily physical activity (DPA) in the bone mineral density and grip strength of old women. The secondary objective is to distinguish between weekday and weekend day scores. Methods: Forty-two women between 65 and 79 years participated. DPA was monitored with the accelerometer ActiGraph GT3X (Pensacola, FL, USA) placed on the dominant hand wrist. Bone mineral density was measured with dual-energy X-ray absorptiometry (AccuDEXA, SHICK, USA) in the central fi nger of the dominant hand; and grip strength, with a Takei dynamometer (TKK 5001). Results: There were statistical differences between moderate and vigorous DPA in age, T-score, physical activity counts/min and min/day, and grip strength. Weekend minutes correlated signifi cantly with all the variables. Age was a confounding factor. Conclusions: Higher DPA intensities accomplished by our old women sample preserve T-score (bone standard deviations respect to young, healthy people) and grip strength in a normal range. These results are strongly infl uenced by weekend scores. Age should be controlled by shorter ranks.

“…22 IPAQ has been validated for use in community settings with adults, older adults and ethnic minority groups. 9,24 MET-minute/week expenditure was calculated by summing the relevant activity dimension's and domains for each participant. The number of days featuring these activities was multiplied by the estimated time per day spent doing each one.…”

Telephone -(+44) 013 812 9107Single-Item Physical Activity Measures 2 Objectives: The accurate mass assessment of physical activity is essential for effective Public Health policy and practice. Combined with a desire to minimise participant burden, the selfreported single-item physical activity screening measure has become increasingly attractive and widespread. To help reduce any potential misclassification, refining this instrumentation in line with any changes in prescribed activity levels is essential to optimise accuracy. Study design: This study compares the levels of agreement, sensitivity and specificity for the singleitem measure versus IPAQ using current physical activity recommendations. Methods:Agreement was assessed in a non-probability sample of 7650 adults. The  statistic, sensitivity and specificity were used to assess agreement between the tools for classifying participants as sufficiently active for health (≥150 minutes of physical activity per week) or not, and being classified as inactive (<30 of minutes of physical activity per week) or not. Results: The singleitem measure showed weak agreement with the IPAQ for identifying participants who met the current physical activity guidelines (= 0.13, 95% CI 0.12 to 0.14), sensitivity was 18.7% and specificity was 97.2%. For the classification of inactive participants it showed a moderate agreement with IPAQ (= 0.45, 95% CI 0.43 to 0.47), sensitivity was 74.2% and specificity was 79.7%. Conclusions: The single-item measure has a low diagnostic capacity compared to IPAQ. Further research is needed if it is to be used in large scale surveys and interventions where screening for sufficiently active or inactive individuals is the goal.
