Adherence to physical activity recommendations and the influence of socio-demographic correlates
A population-based cross-sectional study
Samenvatting
Current physical activity guidelines acknowledge the importance of total health enhancing physical activity (HEPA) compared to leisure time physical activity or exercise alone. Assessing total HEPA may result in different levels of adherence to these as well as the strength and/or direction of associations observed between total HEPA and socio-demographic correlates. The aim of this study was to estimate the proportion of the population adhering to the recommendation of at least 30 minutes of HEPA on most days, and to examine the influences of socio-demographic correlates on reaching this recommendation.Literatuurverwijzing: Bergman, P., Grjibovski, A.M., Hagströmer, M., Bauman, A.E., & Sjöström, M.
