Book The Influence of BMI and Self efficacy Levels on the Accuracy in Self reported Physical Activity Recall

Download or read book The Influence of BMI and Self efficacy Levels on the Accuracy in Self reported Physical Activity Recall written by Brooke Graves and published by . This book was released on 2011 with total page 116 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The purpose of this study was to compare self-reported and objectively measured physical activity levels among college students with different body mass index (BMI) classifications (normal weight and overweight/obese), in order to determine if BMI influences physical activity recall accuracy. A secondary purpose was to examine the accuracy in physical activity recall by physical activity self-efficacy. On day one, 52 college students completed the Marlow Crowne Social Desirability Questionnaire, a moderate physical activity self-efficacy questionnaire, a vigorous physical activity self-efficacy questionnaire, and received an ActiGraph GT1M accelerometer to wear for 7 consecutive days. After wearing the accelerometer, participants completed self-report physical activity measures including the Behavior Risk Factor Surveillance Survey (BRFSS) and the International Physical Activity Questionnaire (IPAQ). They also completed a self-efficacy towards physical activity recall questionnaire. No significant difference was found between the average minutes per day spent in moderate and vigorous physical activity by normal and overweight/obese groups for the BRFSS, IPAQ and ActiGraph GT1M. Also, recall accuracy was similar between the normal weight and overweight/obese participants on the BRFSS and IPAQ questionnaires. No significant relationship was found between moderate physical activity self-efficacy and recall accuracy on either the IPAQ or BRFSS. However, vigorous physical activity self-efficacy was positively related to recall accuracy on both the IPAQ and BRFSS. These results suggest that BMI does not affect either the amount of physical activity completed or recall accuracy in college students. In contrast, vigorous physical activity self-efficacy influences recall accuracy of vigorous physical activity.

This book was released on 2017 with total page pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: BACKGROUND lifestyle interventions consisting of physical activity and/or diet are known to be essential for weight loss. Its implementation in the daily life of people with overweight or obesity is hindered by multiple barriers. To obtain successful behavioural change, it is recommended to take psychological factors and adherence to treatment programs into account when prescribing weight management programs. AIM this randomized controlled trial investigates the changes in psychological factors such as self-efficacy and adherence during a 6-month intervention program, consisting of dietary instructions and/or exercise. METHOD women with a BMI =27 kg/m2 are randomized in a diet or combination group, consisting of both diet and exercise. All participants receive a personal interview, based on the principles of motivational interviewing (MI), and by means of a questionnaire (S-weight) that determines the stages of change, the kind of motivation at baseline is reflected. Self-reported (general and exercise) self-efficacy and habitual physical activity are measured by questionnaires (General Self-Efficacy Scale, Exercise Self-Efficacy Scale and Baecke) at baseline, after 3 and 6 months intervention, as well as adherence by a numeric scale. Anthropometrical measurements such as body weight (kg), BMI (kg/m2), fat mass (%) and fat free mass (kg) are also investigated. A sensitivity analysis was also carried out including women with higher levels of adherence, whereby the same above mentioned was also analyzed. RESULTS in 54 women, changes in adherence, self-reported self-efficacy, physical activity, body weight and composition were assessed after 3 and 6 months intervention. No statistically significant differences were found between the diet and combination group for changes in adherence, anthropometrical and psychological outcomes after 3 and 6 months intervention (p > 0,05). However, significant changes were seen within each group after 6 months. In the diet group, there was a reduction in body weight of >5% (p \

Book Validity and Measurement Bias in Three Self report Measures of Physical Activity Among Women Diagnosed with Breast Cancer

Download or read book Validity and Measurement Bias in Three Self report Measures of Physical Activity Among Women Diagnosed with Breast Cancer written by Marilyn Fay Johnson-Kozlow and published by . This book was released on 2003 with total page 448 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This study investigated criterion-related validity and measurement bias of three self-report measures of physical activity among women diagnosed with breast cancer. The 7-Day Physical Activity Recall (PAR), the International Physical Activity Questionnaire (IPAQ), and the physical activity items developed by the Women's Health Initiative (WHI-Q) were compared. The study was conducted at the University of California, San Diego study site among Women's Healthy Eating and Living Study participants. Women (N = 159, average age 57 years) wore an accelerometer for one week and then completed the WHI-Q and were administered by telephone either the IPAQ or PAR. Time spent in moderate, vigorous and total physical activity was obtained from accelerometer and self-report measures. Criterion-related validity was evaluated as the Spearman rank-order correlation between accelerometer and self-report score. The proportion meeting the American College of Sports Medicine physical activity guideline (Pate et al., 1995) by self-report measure was compared to accelerometer and screening statistics computed. Measurement bias was defined as self-report minus accelerometer score; this bias could be either an over-estimate or an under-estimate of physical activity. The correlation coefficients for the PAR and WHI-Q moderate and total physical activity scores were highest (.65 to .73) compared to the IPAQ (.26 and .33). Vigorous score correlations did not differ by self-report measure (.47 to .59). The PAR had the highest sensitivity (100%) and specificity (84%) compared to the other measures. Moderate physical activity was over-estimated on the IPAQ by 239% (225 min/week) compared to 11% on the PAR. Over-reporting of vigorous physical activity on the WHI-Q was associated with increasing body mass index. Increasing under-reporting of moderate and total physical activity was associated with decreasing age on all measures but with body mass index on the WHI-Q only. Social desirability was not significantly associated with measurement bias. The study found clear differences between the self-report measures: the WHI-Q was comparable in validity to the PAR while the IPAQ had lower validity and also significant over-estimates of moderate physical activity. Using the accelerometer as the criterion against which self-report scores were compared was discussed as a limitation of this investigation.

Book CROSS SECTIONAL AND LONGITUDINAL COMPARISON OF SELF REPORT VERSUS OBJECTIVE MEASUREMENT IN PHYSICAL ACTIVITY AMONG WOMEN

Download or read book CROSS SECTIONAL AND LONGITUDINAL COMPARISON OF SELF REPORT VERSUS OBJECTIVE MEASUREMENT IN PHYSICAL ACTIVITY AMONG WOMEN written by Tracy L. Oliver and published by . This book was released on 2009 with total page 198 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Physical activity improves health while combating the obesity epidemic. However, quantifying physical activity through self-report questionnaires or objective measures can provide varying results. The purposes of these studies were to determine if time, body mass index, or treatment assignment could affect the validity of physical activity measurements. The data were part of a larger physical activity promotion study conducted at the Miriam Hospital/Brown Medical School in Providence, Rhode Island and in communities in Southeastern Massachusetts from 2002 to 2005. In this trial, 280 women, with a mean age of 47.1 years, were randomly assigned to one of three intervention groups: Choose to Move (n=93), Jumpstart (n=95) and Wellness (n=92). A randomly selected sub sample of participants simultaneously wore an ActiGraph accelerometer and completed a 3-Day Physical Activity Recall questionnaire at baseline, 3 months and 12 months. Body mass index and treatment assignment were also used in-group comparisons. The results indicated that all components of time, BMI and treatment assignment influenced the accuracy of self-reported measurements when compared to objective accelerometer data. Additional research is essential to uncover the independent aspects considered influential to these physical activity measurements to enhance study design and participant outcomes in future trials.

Book An Investigation of Novel Predictors of Physical Activity in Individuals Attempting Weight Loss

Download or read book An Investigation of Novel Predictors of Physical Activity in Individuals Attempting Weight Loss written by Stephanie G. Kerrigan and published by . This book was released on 2014 with total page 168 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Despite the well-established benefits of physical activity, current interventions to promote physical activity produce only small to moderate effects that are poorly maintained. Social cognitive theories have attempted to explain behavior, identifying self-efficacy, outcome expectancies, and self-regulation as potentially important predictors of physical activity engagement. However, self-regulation has rarely been measured by processes such as distress tolerance (the ability to persist in a psychologically or physically distressing task) or executive function (a complex set of neurocognitive processes that enable self-directed behavior), which underlie the ability to regulate behavior. The current study aimed to evaluate self-regulation, measured by physical and psychological distress tolerance, delay discounting, set-shifting, and complex problem-solving as predictors of physical activity intention, physical activity behavior, and the relationship between intention and behavior in a sample of individuals at the six-month point of a behavioral weight loss program. Results revealed that self-regulatory ability may predict intention and behavior, specifically that physical distress tolerance is positively associated with intention and delay discounting is positively associated with behavior. No measure of self-regulation was associated with the gap between intention and behavior. Delay discounting may, however, moderate the relationship between intention and behavior. Finally, several interactions between physical distress tolerance and executive function variables indicate that deficits in one measure of self-regulation may moderate the relationship between other measures of self-regulation and physical activity intention and behavior. Results indicate that self-regulation may be an important and understudied area of research with regard to physical activity. Future research should seek to further delineate these relationships in order to inform treatment development.
