Validation of the Minnesota Leisure Time Physical Activity Questionnaire in Spanish women

Article Abstract:

The Minnesota Leisure Time Physical Activity Questionnaire has been used among Spanish women in an effort to validate its use as a physical activity (PA) measurement instrument in different populations. It was concluded that a Spanish version of the instrument is valid for measuring leisure time PA performed in the last year in Spanish women, ages 18-60 years.

Descriptive epidemiology of pedometer-determined physical activity

Article Abstract:

A study was conducted with the dual purposes to provide preliminary descriptive epidemiology data representing pedometer-determined physical activity (PA) and to explore sources to intra-individual variability in steps per day. Significant differences were indicated by race, age, education, income, and body mass index (BMI).

Measurement of daily walking distance - questionnaire versus pedometer

Article Abstract:

Use of a questionnaire vs use of a pedometer for measurement of daily walking distance has been studied. Subjects were found to underestimate daily walking distance of the College Alumnus questionnaire (CAQ) vs the pedometer. Energy expended on walking was correspondingly lower on the CAQ vs the pedometer-derived values.
