“…The findings of this study were in agreement with Goode's (1998) study, suggesting that on average, using the TT resulted in HR's and RPE's within the recommended guidelines from the ACSM. More importantly, HR's were also similar to the HR's at each subjects' VT. What made this study even more relevant is that it used both speech provoking stimuli, the POA being read at the end of each exercise stage, and each subject responding (out loud) to recorded interview questions while exercising on an indoor track.…”

“…In the study mentioned previously by Goode et al (1998), data revealed that when subjects, (being healthy young males) could "hear their breathing", they were exercising near their VT. The subjects being able to hear their breathing was assumed to equate to the LP stage of the TT.…”

“…Other potential anchors of intensity include "exercise sufficient to induce moderate sweating" 49 or "causing sufficient breathlessness to limit conversation". 88 However, such descriptions at best distinguish light from vigorous effort. They are again somewhat vulnerable to differences in symptom reporting, 85 and in the case of sweating are affected by environmental temperatures.…”

Despite extensive use over 40 years, physical activity questionnaires still show limited reliability and validity. Measurements have value in indicating conditions where an increase in physical activity would be beneficial and in monitoring changes in population activity. However, attempts at detailed interpretation in terms of exercise dosage and the extent of resulting health benefits seem premature. Such usage may become possible through the development of standardised instruments that will record the low intensity activities typical of sedentary societies, and will ascribe consistent biological meaning to terms such as light, moderate, and heavy exercise.

“…Other important variables in the rating of relative intensity are the experience and stoicism of the person who is being questioned (Sallis and Saelens 2000), and sometimes the social desirability of the response (Klesges et al 1990). Thus, it has been recognized for many years that descriptors of intensity such as vigorous activity are best tied to such physiological anchors as an individual's breathlessness (Goode et al 1998) or the onset of sweating (Godin and Shephard 1985).…”

Over the years, techniques for the study of human movement have ranged in complexity and precision from direct observation of the subject through activity diaries, questionnaires, and recordings of body movement, to the measurement of physiological responses, studies of metabolism and indirect and direct calorimetry. This article reviews developments in each of these domains. Particular reference is made to their impact upon the continuing search for valid field estimates of activity patterns and energy expenditures, as required by the applied physiologist, ergonomist, sports scientist, nutritionist and epidemiologist. Early observers sought to improve productivity in demanding employment. Direct observation and filming of workers were supplemented by monitoring of heart rates, ventilation and oxygen consumption. Such methods still find application in ergonomics and sport, but many investigators are now interested in relationships between habitual physical activity and chronic disease. Even sophisticated questionnaires still do not provide valid information on the absolute energy expenditures associated with good health. Emphasis has thus shifted to use of sophisticated pedometer/accelerometers, sometimes combining their output with GPS and other data. Some modern pedometer/accelerometers perform well in the laboratory, but show substantial systematic errors relative to laboratory reference criteria such as the metabolism of doubly labeled water when assessing the varied activities of daily life. The challenge remains to develop activity monitors that are sufficiently inexpensive for field use, yet meet required accuracy standards. Possibly, measurements of oxygen consumption by portable respirometers may soon satisfy part of this need, although a need for valid longer term monitoring will remain.
