“…The instrument yields data concerning hours per day spent in sleep and in light, moderate, hard, and very hard activity (based on MET levels); and kilocalories per kilogram of body weight expended per day. Acceptable estimates of reliability and validity have been reported (Hellman et al, 1996(Hellman et al, , 1996(Hellman et al, /1997. Selfreported time engaged weekly in strengthening and stretching exercises were measured by 2 items in a format similar to that of the 7-Day Recall.…”

“…They were measured by self-reported behavioral markers and by biomarkers of cardiorespiratory fitness, flexibility, and muscular strength assessed by the research nurses. Energy expenditure during self-reported moderate or greater intensity activity was measured by the Modified 7-Day Activity Recall (Hellman, Williams, & Thalken, 1996). The instrument yields data concerning hours per day spent in sleep and in light, moderate, hard, and very hard activity (based on MET levels); and kilocalories per kilogram of body weight expended per day.…”

Determinants of Older Rural Women’s Activity and Eating

This research examined the relationship of cognitive-perceptual determinants from the Health Promotion Model to physical activity and healthy eating at baseline of a clinical trial among rural women aged 50 to 69. Two multivariate regression analyses with canonical correlation (N = 179) each yielded one interpretable canonical variate that explained similar amounts of variance (21.7% and 22.5%) in sets of activity and eating variables. In both analyses, the determinants set is a linear combination of all four cognitive-perceptual constructs from the model (perceived self-efficacy, benefits, barriers, interpersonal influences). The activity behavior set included caloric expenditure, VO2max, and stretching and strengthening activity, whereas the eating behavior set included daily percentage of calories from fat and servings of fruits and vegetables, meat, and whole grains. As predicted by theory, greater self-efficacy, benefits and interpersonal support, and fewer barriers are associated with desirable healthy lifestyle behaviors.

“…Scores have been correlated (r=0.62) with perceived levels of physical activity among older adults [38]. Physical activity data were used in this study to assess group differences of more than light activity at baseline and to monitor exercise outside the exercise study protocol in both groups.…”

The effect of weight training on bone mineral density and bone turnover in postmenopausal breast cancer survivors with bone loss: a 24-month randomized controlled trial

et al. 2009

This study examined whether 24 months of weight training exercises enhanced the effectiveness of risedronate, calcium, and vitamin D in maintaining or improving bone mineral density (BMD) in 223 postmenopausal breast cancer survivors. Subjects who were ≥50% adherent to exercise had no improvement in BMD but were less likely to lose BMD. Introduction This study examined whether (1) postmenopausal breast cancer survivors (BCS) with bone loss taking 24 months of risedronate, calcium, and vitamin D had increased bone mineral density (BMD) at the total hip, femoral neck, L1-L4 spine, total radius and 33% radius, and decreased bone turnover; (2) subjects who also participated in strength/weight training (ST) exercises had greater increases in BMD and greater decreases in bone turnover; and (3) subjects who also exercised were more likely to preserve (at least maintain) BMD. Methods Postmenopausal BCS (223) were randomly assigned to exercise plus medication or medication only groups. Both groups received 24 months of 1,200 mg of calcium and 400 IU of vitamin D daily and 35 mg of risedronate weekly, and the exercise group additionally had ST exercises twice weekly. Results After 24 months, women who took medications without exercising had significant improvements in BMD at the total hip (+1.81%) and spine (+2.85%) and significant decreases in Alkphase B (−8.7%) and serum NTx (−16.7%). Women who also exercised had additional increases in BMD at the femoral neck (+0.29%), total hip (+0.34%), spine (+0.23%), total radius (+0.30%), and additional decreases in Alkphase B (−2.4%) and Serum NTx (−6.5%). Additional changes in BMD and bone turnover with exercise were not significant. Subjects who were ≥50% adherent to exercise were less likely to lose BMD at the total hip (chi-square [1]=4.66, p=0.03) and femoral neck (chi-square [1]=4.63, p=0.03).

“…The behavioral marker for moderate-or greater-intensity physical activity was total minutes of selfreported activities with MET ≥ 4.0 within the previous 7 days measured by the Modified 7-Day Activity Recall. The instrument has sensitivity, construct, and concurrent validity (Hellman, Williams, & Thalken, 1996. The biomarker for moderate-or greater-intensity physical activity was estimated VO 2 max measured by the Rockport Fitness Walking Test (RFWT; Fenstermaker, Plowman, & Looney, 1992).…”

Physical Activity Counseling for Older Women

et al. 2006

Physical inactivity is a major factor in increasing women's risk for chronic disease, disability, and premature mortality. This study compared the effectiveness of five behavioral counseling (BC) sessions with a comparison group receiving one BC session based on the five A's (ask, advise, assist, arrange, and agree) to increase moderate-intensity physical activity, muscle strengthening, and stretching activity. The health promotion model provided the framework for the intervention. A pretest/posttest comparison group design was used, with random assignment of 46 women recruited from an urban midwestern community. A significant group interaction was found only for cardiorespiratory fitness (p < .001). Significant time effects were found (p < .001) for both groups in increasing handgrip, leg strength, and flexibility. BC is a promising intervention to achieve physical activity behavior change with older women.
