No single measure can capture physical activity perfectly. Development of self-report methods has been a persistent and evolving pursuit. Measures vary in how they quantify a broad range of health-related and behavioral constructs, from physiologic response to exercise, to participation in specific types of activities, to patterns of usual lifestyle behaviors. An additional challenge for measuring active and sedentary behaviors by self-report is creating instruments that are relevant in culturally and linguistically diverse populations.
This webinar will provide:
- an overview of physical activity as a multidimensional health behavior
- an in-depth review of methods to measure active and sedentary behaviors by self-report
- an exploration of important issues when assessing physical activity in diverse populations
There is no fee to register for the webinar.
