Activity: Talk or presentation types › Oral presentation

Description

The aim was to develop a survey that provides information on many physical activities during life and to systematically collect the respondent's subjective assessment of the physical activities performed during his lifetime.. The development of the Motor Reserve questionnaire (MRA) survey was carried out in seven stages, each of the stages describes the process of developing the survey. The MRA is structured in two parts. The first part is completed independently in writing before the interview, and the second part is completed as an interview with the interviewer. The information provided by the participant is entered in parallel in the MRA application. After receiving the information, the participant's data was compared with the fitness bracelet data for a specific time period. For the data comparison, 22 women, aged 70-85 years, participated in the study.. MRA allows retrospective measurement of physical activity over a lifetime. The survey is based on previously developed instruments Historical Leisure Activity Questionnaire (HLAQ, Kriska et al., 1990), The Lifetime Total Physical Activity Questionnaire (LTPAQ, Friedenreich et al., 1998) and Short Retrospective Questionnaire For Physical Activity, Schmidt & SRQPA (SRQPA). Steindorf, 2006), but depending on the detail of the obtained data (Ulmane et al., 2019). An electronic data entry application was created for data entry, with the help of which the interviewer can enter the sub-activities named by the participant and the time devoted to them in each of the dimensions of physical activity. The app automatically calculates energy consumption and metabolic equivalent amount for the specific activity.. The survey can be used to obtain the respondent's self-reported information about the time devoted to physical activities of various dimensions during life. And with the electronic data entry application, calculate the energy consumption devoted to activities of various dimensions during life.
