Association Of Subjective Ratings To Objectively Assessed Physical Activity In Pubertal Boys With Differing Bmi
Summary .— The associations between subjective ratings and objectively measured moderate-to-vigorous physical activity (MVPA) were examined in normal,and overweight and obese, pubertal boys and compared with their parents' reports.
In total, 224 boys ( M age = 12.2 yr.) completed the self-report questionnaire and wore an accelerometer for 7 consecutive days. Questionnaire-based indexes of physical activity (PA) were weakly associated with the accelerometer PA data. Correlations between subjective and objective assessments were signifi cantly higher in overweight and obese groups. Parent reports predicted sedentary time better than boys’ self-reports but no diff erence was found for MVPA. Future studies must consider that the source of rating, season, and weight status may be possible sources of
confounding when using subjective assessments of PA.
