“…This subgroup was chosen as current surveillance systems do not allow for longitudinal and regional comparisons of the prevalence of overweight/obesity in children and adolescents, the related lifestyle behaviour, and the key determinants of this behaviour. This prioritisation was based on a needs and gaps analysis of the DEDIPAC inventory on existing surveillance systems in Europe [ 6 ].…”

The establishment of the Determinants of Diet and Physical Activity (DEDIPAC) Knowledge Hub, 2013–2016, was the first action taken by the ‘Healthy Diet for a Healthy Life’ European Joint Programming Initiative. DEDIPAC aimed to provide better insight into the determinants of diet, physical activity and sedentary behaviour across the life course, i.e. insight into the causes of the causes of important, non-communicable diseases across Europe and beyond. DEDIPAC was launched in late 2013, and delivered its final report in late 2016. In this paper we give an overview of what was achieved in terms of furthering measurement and monitoring, providing overviews of the state-of-the-art in the field, and building toolboxes for further research and practice. Additionally, we propose some of the next steps that are now required to move forward in this field, arguing in favour of 1) sustaining the Knowledge Hub and developing it into a European virtual research institute and knowledge centre for determinants of behavioural nutrition and physical activity with close links to other parts of the world; 2) establishing a cohort study of families across all regions of Europe focusing specifically on the individual and contextual determinants of major, non-communicable disease; and 3) furthering DEDIPAC’s work on nutrition, physical activity, and sedentary behaviour policy evaluation and benchmarking across Europe by aligning with other international initiatives and by supporting harmonisation of pan-European surveillance.

“…Based on the literature review, we can classify scientific methods for determining PA as direct observations or objectively assessed PA and indirect or subjectively assessed PA [ 9 , 10 , 11 ]. Large PA surveillance systems have, until recently, relied solely on PA questionnaires (PAQs) as one of the subjective assessments of PA [ 12 ]. Questionnaires are easy to apply in large groups of individuals and are therefore the basic method of assessing PA in large epidemiological studies.…”

“…On the other hand, the advancement in technology has led to the development of commercial activity monitors for personal use. Recent evidence on accuracy of these devices indicates that this technology could be a very useful tool for surveillance systems [ 15 , 24 , 25 , 26 , 27 , 28 , 29 , 30 ]; however, at the moment, PAQs still prevail [ 12 , 31 , 32 ].…”

This review and meta-analysis (PROSPERO registration number: CRD42020138845) critically evaluates test-retest reliability, concurrent validity and criterion validity of different physical activity (PA) levels of three most commonly used international PA questionnaires (PAQs) in official language versions of European Union (EU): International Physical Activity Questionnaire (IPAQ-SF), Global Physical Activity Questionnaire (GPAQ), and European Health Interview Survey-Physical Activity Questionnaire (EHIS-PAQ). In total, 1749 abstracts were screened, 287 full-text articles were identified as relevant to the study objectives, and 20 studies were included. The studies’ results and quality were evaluated using the Quality Assessment of Physical Activity Questionnaires checklist. Results indicate that only ten EU countries validated official language versions of selected PAQs. A meta-analysis revealed that assessment of moderate-to-vigorous PA (MVPA) is the most relevant PA level outcome, since no publication bias in any of measurement properties was detected while test-retest reliability was moderately high (rw = 0.74), moderate for the criterion (rw = 0.41) and moderately-high for concurrent validity (rw = 0.72). Reporting of methods and results of the studies was poor, with an overall moderate risk of bias with a total score of 0.43. In conclusion, where only self-reporting of PA is feasible, assessment of MVPA with selected PAQs in EU adult populations is recommended.

“…The target generation and the demographic structure of a country should be taken into account to develop more accurate health policies [4]; − REPOPA (REsearch into POlicy to enhance Physical Activity) will increase understanding use of research evidence in different contexts; develop guidance and tools and establish sustainable structures such as networks and platforms between academics and policy makers across relevant sectors [5]; − There is a need for harmonization of surveillance methodologies, indicators and target populations for between-country and over time comparisons. This inventory will serve to feed future discussions within the DEDIPAC-JPI major framework on how to optimize design and identify priorities within surveillance [6]; − The data collected under this HEPA (healthenhancing physical activity) monitoring framework provided, for the first time, an overview of the implementation of HEPA-related policies and actions at the national level throughout the EU [7].…”

Purpose:to prove, develop and check the model of values' formation of a healthy lifestyle of students in the course of physical training. Material:students participated in an experiment (males -n=108; females -n=120; 18-20 years old). Results:it is determined the values' formation level of a healthy lifestyle. It is developed the model of students' healthy lifestyle formation. The model includes the purpose, the task, the principles, the stages, the organizational and methodical conditions, stages, the program and criteria of efficiency. The program of extracurricular occupations of physical training is a component of the model. It is defined factors which determine values' formation of a healthy lifestyle of student's youth in the course of physical training. The following indicators were statistically and significantly improved: levels of physical activity, theoretical readiness, and motivation, level of physical health, values' formation of a healthy lifestyle. Conclusions:The stimulating factors are information and effective basis of justification, forecasting, and development of values' formation model of a healthy lifestyle. It is revealed the need for a change of approaches to the modernization of the educational process of physical training for institutions of the higher education.
