Abstract

Introduction: Lifestyle physical activity has shown potential health benefits, but the comparability between lifestyle and exercise physical activity is not well studied. We determined the differences in objective activity levels quantified by vector magnitude (VM3) among instrumental activities of daily living and walking exercise in healthy young adults between the ages of 18-39.

Method: In this cross-sectional, observational study with repeated measures, participants completed bed-making, vacuuming, dishwashing, and walking while wearing ActiGraph GT9X Links.

Results: Twenty-four females and twenty-four males participated in the study. Bed-making showed the highest VM3 counts, measured at wrists; whereas walking showed the highest VM3 counts, measured at hips. VM3 counts during bed-making were significantly higher than all other activities measured at wrists (p ⩽ 0.001; r = 0.55-0.62). The highest VM3 counts among wrists and hips during bed-making were significantly different from all other activities (p < 0.001, r = 0.55-0.62).

Conclusion: The highest activity levels measured among wrists and hips during lifestyle physical activity are similar to or higher than those of exercise physical activity among healthy young adults. Clinicians should consider multiple factors when selecting appropriate lifestyle physical activity for each individual in addition to the compendium of physical activities.

生活方式体育活动和运动体育活动期间的活动水平：一项观察性研究。

导读：生活方式的体育活动已经显示出潜在的健康益处，但生活方式和运动体育活动之间的可比性尚未得到很好的研究。我们确定了18-39岁健康年轻人日常生活工具活动和步行运动之间客观活动水平的差异，这些差异用矢量量级（VM3）量化。方法：在这项具有重复测量的横断面观察性研究中，参与者在佩戴ActiGraph GT9X链接时完成了铺床、吸尘、洗碗和走路。结果：24名女性和24名男性参与了研究。铺床显示出最高的VM3计数，在手腕处测量；而步行显示出最高的VM3计数，在臀部测量。铺床期间VM3计数明显高于手腕处测量的所有其他活动（p < 0.001; r = 0.55-0.62）。在铺床期间，手腕和臀部的VM3最高计数与所有其他活动显著不同（p r = 0.55-0.62）。结论：在生活方式体力活动中测量的手腕和臀部的最高活动量与健康年轻人的运动体力活动相似或更高。临床医生在为每个人选择适当的生活方式和体力活动时，除了体力活动纲要外，还应考虑多种因素。

期刊介绍： British Journal of Occupational Therapy (BJOT) is the official journal of the Royal College of Occupational Therapists. Its purpose is to publish articles with international relevance that advance knowledge in research, practice, education, and management in occupational therapy. It is a monthly peer reviewed publication that disseminates evidence on the effectiveness, benefit, and value of occupational therapy so that occupational therapists, service users, and key stakeholders can make informed decisions. BJOT publishes research articles, reviews, practice analyses, opinion pieces, editorials, letters to the editor and book reviews. It also regularly publishes special issues on topics relevant to occupational therapy.
