Accelerometry-Determined Adherence to the 2008 Physical Activity Guidelines for Americans Among College Students

Abstract: Background: A need exists to determine whether college students engage in sufficient physical activity (PA) using objective methodology. Purpose: Accelerometry-based activity monitors were used to evaluate adherence to the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services' 2008 Physical Activity Guidelines for Americans. Methods: College students (N = 168) wore accelerometers for seven consecutive days. Results: The mean total minutes per day of moderate and vigorous PA were 53.9 minutes and 5.2 minutes, respective… Show more

“…The participants in this research averaged a high amount (1.1 hr) of MVPA every day. This is similar to findings by Raynor and Jankowiak () though three times as much as Downs et al (). Neither of these groups explored SB.…”

“…Three sources helped guide estimation of the appropriate sample size for the study: 1) previous similar research; 2) general statistical principles; and 3) the nQuery (Statistical Solutions, Ltd., Los Angeles, CA) power analysis program. Sample sizes in similar research ranged from 77 (Downs, Van Hoomissen, Lafrenz, & Julka, ) to 168 (Raynor & Jankowiak, ). General consensus on principles of statistics suggest multiple regression analyses should have 10–15 participants per independent variable (Harrell, ).…”

“…Approximately half of the current participants did not accumulate 10-min sessions of MVPA. This was also found among young men, with total 10-min MVPA sessions of 13.9 min and accumulated sporadic MVPA of 59.1 min [ 38 ]. The current study favors 10-min MVPA for improving risk factors of MetS, especially HDL levels.…”

“…Estudos recentes que analisaram o nível de atividade física em universitários corroboram estas informações (Dias et al, 2008;Madureira, Corseuil, Pelegrini, & Petroski, 2009;Marcondelli et al, 2008). Os resultados encontrados por Sousa (2011), numa revisão sistemática sobre a inatividade física em universitários brasileiros, apontam para elevada prevalência de indivíduos inativos ou insuficientemente ativos fisicamente, o que também tem sido verificado em estudos internacionais (Hawker, 2012;Musharrafieh et al, 2008;Raynor, & Jankowiak, 2010), independente da área de conhecimento dos estudantes pesquisados e do instrumento utilizado para mensurar a atividade física. Este quadro pode ser explicado devido às situações inerentes ao processo de transição da adolescência para a idade adulta, caracterizado por intensas alterações biológicas e instabilidade psicossocial (Vieira, Priore, Ribeiro, Franceschini, & Almeida, 2002).…”
