Abstract

The number of older people (65+ years) in the European Union is expected to reach 130 million by 2050. Regular physical activity has considerable benefits for health and physical functioning in the elderly population. The aim of the study was to evaluate the amount and intensity of self-reported physical activity expressed as energy consumption in a sample of 131 older individuals (aged 83.8 ± 7.6 years, 69% women) living in nursing homes by using the Minnesota Leisure Time Physical Activity Questionnaire. 109 participants reported to perform leisure time physical activity. Only 7.6% of them fulfilled the criteria for low physical activity proposed by Fried et al. (2001). The median energy expenditure (168.5 (IRQ=128.6) kcal/day) also exceeded the cut-off points for low activity. 54% of the participants stated that they perform the so-called heavy physical activity determined in a questionnaire with an intensity code 6 kcal/min or above. The questionnaire-based findings regarding physical activity in nursing homes are in terms of frailty encouraging but they should be verified against a more objective method for physical activity evaluation such as the use of accelerometers.

斯洛文尼亚西部养老院老年居民自我报告的体育活动：基于问卷的方法

到2050年，欧盟的老年人（65岁以上）预计将达到1.3亿。有规律的体育活动对老年人的健康和身体机能有很大的好处。本研究的目的是通过使用明尼苏达州休闲时间体力活动问卷，评估131名居住在养老院的老年人（年龄83.8±7.6岁，69%为女性）的自我报告体力活动的量和强度，以能量消耗表示。109名参与者报告进行了休闲体育活动。只有7.6%的人符合Fried等人提出的低体力活动标准。（2001）。能量消耗中位数（168.5（IRQ=128.6）kcal/天）也超过了低活动的临界点。54%的参与者表示，他们进行了所谓的剧烈体力活动，该活动在一份问卷中确定，强度代码为6 kcal/min或以上。基于问卷的关于养老院体育活动的调查结果是令人虚弱的，但应根据更客观的体育活动评估方法（如使用加速度计）进行验证。
