Written by an expert in exercise science and physical activity epidemiology, this book emphasises instruments for health-related research, provides specific resources for analysing and interpreting data and includes several different assessment techniques.
Methods for assessing physical activity and challenges for research; measurement issues for the assessment of physical activity; construct validity in physical activity research; physical activity data - odd distributions yield strange answers; equating and linking of physical activity questionnaires; power calculations and the design of behavioural interventions; use of self-report instruments to assess physical activity; use of accelerometry-based activity monitors to assess physical activity; use of heart rate monitors to assess physical activity; use of pedometers to assess physical activity; use of direct observation to assess physical activity; use of doubly labelled water and indirect calorimetry to assess physical activity; applying multiple methods to improve the accuracy of activity assessments; physical activity assessment issues in population-based interventions - a stage; environmental and policy measurement in physial activity research.
