Objective monitoring of physical activity in older adults
SHEPHARD RJ; AOYAGI Y
PHYS THER REV , 2010, vol. 15, n° 3, p. 170-182 Doc n°: 149237 Localisation : Documentation IRR D.O.I. : http://www.ingentaconnect.com/content/maney/ptr/2010/00000015/00000003/art00006 Descripteurs : KA - KINESITHERAPIE, MA - GERONTOLOGIE Recommendations on minimum exercise levels for the elderly have to date been based largely on extrapolation of epidemiological findings in middle-aged adults. Questionnaire assessments of physical activity in the latter age group have been correlated with health outcomes observed over 10 or more years. The reliability and construct validity of questionnaires have sometimes been reasonably high, but information on the volume of physical activity has been exaggerated as much as three- to five-fold, with corresponding uncertainties in health inferences.
