Abstract:

Physical activity (PA) has a significant positive impact on health and contributes to the prevention of non-communicable diseases. This investigation provides the results of PA estimation using accelerometers in a random sample from the general population. Objective — to determine whether an accelerometer may be used to measure PA in the population and to compare the PA levels measured by an accelerometer and a self-completed questionnaire. It has become obvious that the use of an accelerometer to conduct population-based studies is limited primarily due to an insufficient number (51%) of persons who agree to participate in the survey, to possible technical problems when wearing the bracelet, and to the higher cost and longer duration of the study. In the authors’ opinion, a questionnaire used during mass surveys estimating the level of PA in the population remains now the method of choice because of its simplicity, availability, cheapness, and relative reliability. However, as methods for objective PA estimation are improved, their role will increase.
