“…Children's PA was measured by PDPAR and it is possible that obese children overestimated their daily physical activity. Although most studies have demonstrated that increasing RBMI is accompanied by decreasing DPA in children (17,(19)(20)(21)(22)(23), yet similar findings have been shown in the study of Manley et al (17). We suppose that such children like to do an overestimation of their DPA.…”

All of the self-report tools have a common disadvantage, which is probability response bias (4,30). This refers to the subjects' tendency to respond a certain way, regardless of the actual evidence.…”

“…Adicionalmente, Manley et al, 16 verificaram que uma intervenção utilizando pedômetros em adolescentes de 11 a 13 anos, foi eficaz para a melhora da aptidão aeróbica e nível de atividade física. Entretanto, apesar de ser evidenciado na literatura a eficácia do pedômetro sobre a prática de atividade física de crianças e adolescentes, ainda não está claro se uma intervenção com pedômetro de um período relativamente curto seria eficaz na modulação do perfil metabólico de crianças obesas.…”
