Behrens and Mary K. Dinger  \nABSTRACT  \nThe purpose of this study was to describe the ambulatory physical activity of a sample of college students. A descriptive, cross-sectional study was conducted in which students (N = 441; males: n = 204, age = 20.20 ± 1.99, BMI = 25.19 ± 4 kg/m2; females: n = 237, age = 19.92 ± 1.64, BMI = 22.91 ± 3.2 kg/m2) wore an accelerometer, with cycle mode enabled, during all waking hours for 7 consecutive days. The independent variables were day of the week and gender. The dependent variable was steps per day. Two-factor ANOVA, an independent t-test, and chi-squares were calculated. Results indicated that students averaged 11,473.87 ± 2,978.62 steps per day for the week. They were most active on weekdays, and less active on weekends. Mean steps per week, weekday, and weekend did not differ by gender. Further, the majority of the students (67.4%) were exceeding the 10,000 steps per day recommendation. These results can be useful to health educators and researchers seeking a description of ambulatory physical activity in college students.  \nINTRODUCTION  \nThe moderate physical activity recommendation was released in 1995 by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) and the American College of Sports Medicine (ACSM) as a joint position stand regarding the amount of physical activity (PA) necessary for health benefits.1 Some of these health benefits include reduced risk of cardiovascular disease, colon cancer, breast cancer, type 2 diabetes, and obesity.2 The CDC/ACSM recommendation calls for Americans to accumulate at least 30 minutes of moderate-intensity physical activity (MPA) on most, if not all, days of the week.1 In addition, another PA recommendation by Hatano and colleagues3 suggested that health benefits can be derived from the accumulation of 10,000 steps per day. The latter recommendation has found wide-  \nspread acceptance in the popular media and has been widely promoted by the lay press.4-6 Unfortunately, most Americans are not meeting the CDC/ACSM recommendation.  \nSurveillance data indicate that approximately 67% of adults do not engage in enough leisure-time PA to attain health benefits.7 In young adults the percentage (57.5%) is only slightly improved,7 and while many think that college students are much more active than the majority of Americans, 43% of college students do not engage in enough PA to improve their health status.8 This statistic is particularly disconcerting because the sharpest decline in PA participation occurs during late adolescence and early adulthood.9  \nThe majority of PA surveillance data have been collected with self-reported questionnaires, which have been associated with  \nconsiderable sources of error such as a dependence on recall and a lack of precision to the activity being recalled,10 the general overestimation of self-reported physical activity,11 and discrepant correlations with varying intensities of physical activity.10,11 Conversely, directly assessing PA with motion detectors can yield a more accurate description of ambulatory PA, which accounts  \nTimothy K.

Current evidence suggests that the accumulation of 10,000 steps per day is indicative of an active individual most likely meeting the CDC/ACSM recommendation.14 However, to date, only a few large-scale studies have ","cbCaigHkmWzgNHru","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCaigHkmWzgNHru","pdf",161230,"English","# Abstract\n# Introduction\n# Methods\n## Participant Recruitment\n## Research Design\n## Instrument","[{\"question\":\"How was ambulatory physical activity measured in the study?\",\"answer\":\"Participants wore an accelerometer (with cycle mode enabled) during all waking hours for 7 consecutive days.\"},{\"question\":\"What factors were compared to determine differences in activity?\",\"answer\":\"The independent variables were day of the week and gender, and the dependent variable was steps per day.\"},{\"question\":\"What did the results show about activity on weekdays vs weekends and gender differences?\",\"answer\":\"Students were most active on weekdays and less active on weekends, and mean steps did not differ by gender.\"}]","Ambulatory Physical Activity Patterns of College Students | PDF",1792074007,18]
