23 According to the total physical activity score, two groups of subjects were defined, one as sedentary (score < 9.4) and one as active (score > 9.4).
As such, our sedentary score is an estimate from the PASE questionnaire and not from a dedicated assessment tool for sedentariness, nor from an objective measurement.
25 This decrease was more pronounced in NIDDM patients, 52 since patients with low leisure-activity scores (sedentary status) had a lower 6MWD by of 7.33 m (Table 3).
Physical activity scored +1 for specifying being physically active/exercise, or +0.5 for sedentary activity (maximum score +1).
Adjusted: sedentary behavior; nutritional score; use of cigarettes, alcohol and drugs; other physical activity domains and variables in the table.
For adolescents the ICCs for the AQuAA score, sedentary behaviours, moderate and vigorous intensity PA ranged from 0.44 to 0.59, representing fair to moderate agreement.
Prior to the appointment, researchers extracted clinically-relevant information about the child and family from the baseline questionnaire, including family history, medical history, daily diet, physical activity and sedentary activities, and scored multi-item scales (see Additional file 1).
Scores will be summed to form a total score for sedentary activities (possible range 14-42) and a total score for physical activities (possible range 41-123), withigherer scores indicating greater activity.
Other purpose was to compare scores within sedentary and within recreational athletes samples of same gender.
However, its reliability was tested only in recreational athletes' males and there are no studies comparing scores between sedentary and active samples.
