HABITUAL PHYSICAL ACTIVITY IN ADULTS MEASURED BY ACCELEROMETER IN COMPLIANCE WITH SELECTED HEALTH RECOMMENDATIONS
Journal Title: Central European Journal of Sport Sciences and Medicine - Year 2017, Vol 18, Issue 2
Abstract
The aim of the present study was the evaluation of habitual physical activity in adult members of health promoting associations in compliance with selected health recommendations. Physical activity was monitored for 7 consecutive days using accelerometer ActiGraph GT3X+. It was observed that the percentages of individuals with sufficient physical activity differ depending on healthoriented recommendation used in the evaluation. The results indicated that despite appropriate weekly volume of physical activity expressed in energy expenditure (on the average, twice as high as the recommended minimum) and the number of steps taken daily, the prevailing majority of participants (60%) demonstrated an inadequate level of it when assessed in the context of recommendation by World Health Organization.
