“…It could be hypothesized that a highly educated, young test population may also increase the test-retest reliability of the instrument. Another recent study 39 that solely sampled elderly subjects showed ICCs for the short form of the IPAQ that were comparable to those of the present study, with ICCs for total activity scores ranging from 0.50 to 0.65. The Short Questionnaire to Assess Health-enhancing physical activity, a physical activity questionnaire closely related to the IPAQ, found test-retest reliability comparable to that of the present study.…”

“…A previous study pointed out that the level of reliability is linked to the test-retest interval used. 39 Reliability was higher when a short time interval was used (8 days or less), whereas a longer interval (2-3 weeks) accounted for a lower reliability. With this in mind, van Poppel et al, 41 as they pointed out themselves, might have overestimated reliability scores due to a 3-day measurement interval.…”

T T RESULTS:Fair to good correlation coefficients were found for test-retest reliability of the total and activity scores (r = 0.49-0.81, intraclass correlation coefficient = 0.27-0.71). Standard error of measurement and minimal detectable change were large. For concurrent validity, weak to moderate correlation coefficients were found for total and activity scores (r = -0.07 to 0.54). Systematic bias was found between the IPAQ and accelerometer data, with higher scores on the IPAQ. T T CONCLUSION:Overall, the IPAQ showed fair reliability and weak concurrent validity. These results are in line with previous studies of the reliability and validity of the IPAQ. Due to systematic bias and large standard error of measurement and minimal detectable change, the IPAQ may only be suitable for intergroup comparisons.

“…The correlation coefficient between the IPAQ-S total MET min/week and the average dayactivity counts was above 0.5, which has been considered as adequate construct validity by van Poppel at al. 148 and was in line with that found by Tomioka et al 149 in elderly men and women.…”

Background Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease (COPD) is increasing throughout the world and most rapidly among women. COPD is characterized by a progressive loss of physical functions. The reason for this is multi-factorial and include not only lung related deficiencies but also several systemic consequences and symptoms of which several are potential restrictors of physical function. The relationship between physical function and symptoms are not clear, especially not among women with COPD. Aim The overall aim of this thesis was to illuminate the relationship between two dimensions of physical function (physical activity and physical capacity) and experience of fatigue. The specific aims were to explore factors associated with low physical activity and to examine experience of fatigue and its relationship to physical capacity and disease severity in men and women with COPD. Methods A cross-sectional study was conducted including 121 patients (67 women) with stable COPD and mean age of 67 (+/-7) years. Physical activity was measured with the International Physical Activity Questionnaire short form. Physical capacity included assessment of lung function (dynamic spirometry), exercise capacity (the 6-minute walk distance [perceived dyspnoea and leg fatigue in connection to the test]) and muscle strength (the Timed Stands Test and grip strength). Fatigue was assessed with structured questions covering the frequency, duration and severity of fatigue the previous month and patients were categorized as those with no fatigue, moderate fatigue or severe fatigue. Data about other symptoms (dyspnoea, anxiety and depression), symptom burden (Memorial Symptom Assessment Scale), fat and fat free mass (bio-impedance analysis) and smoking history was collected. Results Forty-two percent of the patients reported a low physical activity level. A majority of the patients reported experience of fatigue the previous month, 52% moderate fatigue and 25% severe fatigue. Low physical activity was associated with severe fatigue, worse exercise capacity and a higher amount of smoking. There were no differences in experience of fatigue between men and women. Men with fatigue had worse physical capacity and disease severity compared to men without fatigue. Women with fatigue had comparable physical capacity and disease severity to women without fatigue except for a higher perceived leg fatigue after the exercise capacity test. Multiple logistic regression analysis showed that exercise capacity and disease severity were associated with fatigue in both men and women but in women, leg fatigue was also strongly associated with the presence of fatigue. Conclusions Severe fatigue, worse exercise capacity and a higher amount of smoking were independently associated with low PA. This result suggests that patients with severe fatigue might need specific strategies to become more physically active. Presence of fatigue was associated with exercise capacity and disease severity in both men and women. In addition, in women leg fatigue was strongly a...

“…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.
