Journal ArticleDOI
Development and validation of a Pregnancy Physical Activity Questionnaire.
Lisa Chasan-Taber,Michael D. Schmidt,Dawn E. Roberts,David W. Hosmer,Glenn Markenson,Patty S. Freedson +5 more
TL;DR: The aim of this study was to develop and validate a pregnancy physical activity questionnaire (PPAQ) and find the PPAQ is a reliable instrument of physical activities during pregnancy.
Journal ArticleDOI
Estimation of VO2max from a one-mile track walk, gender, age, and body weight
G. Kline,John P. Porcari,Robert Hintermeister,Patty S. Freedson,Ann Ward,R. McCarron,J. Ross,James M. Rippe +7 more
TL;DR: The results indicate that this one-mile walk test protocol provides a valid sub-maximum assessment for VO2max estimation and the accuracy of estimation as expressed by SEE was similar among the equations.
Journal ArticleDOI
Validity of the Computer Science and Applications, Inc. (CSA) activity monitor.
TL;DR: It is concluded that the CSA and Caltrac accelerometers have similar validity and that either instrument can be used to estimate EE of groups.
Journal ArticleDOI
Objective Monitoring of Physical Activity Using Motion Sensors and Heart Rate
Patty S. Freedson,Kelly Miller +1 more
TL;DR: In the future, efforts should be directed towards developing an objective motion sensor as inexpensive as a pedometer but with the data acquisition capabilities of the CSA or Tritrac accelerometer.
Compliance with physical activity guidelines : prevalence in a population of children and youth
Russell R. Pate,Patty S. Freedson,James F. Sallis,Wendell C. Taylor,John R. Sirard,Stewart G. Trost,Marsha Dowda +6 more
TL;DR: Objective monitoring of physical activity in youth appears to be feasible and may provide more accurate prevalence rates than self-report measures.
