Physical Activity Monitoring: Efficacy of Objective Methods to Maintain Adequate Levels of Physical Activity
Journal Title: Public Health Open Access - Year 2022, Vol 6, Issue 2
Abstract
Physical activity (PA) is defined as any bodily movement produced by skeletal muscles that result in energy expenditure [1]. PA practice leads to numerous health and psychological benefits. For example, regular PA practice improves brain health, helps manage weight, reduces the risk of many metabolic and endocrine diseases, strengthens bones and muscles, and improves the ability to perform activities of daily living [2]. To achieve these benefits and to tailor PA prescription, direct observation of the individual’s parameters should be used as the gold standard considering volume, duration, frequency and intensity.
