Lifecourse research in physical activity tracks long-term trends in
physical activity behaviours and gives an insight into the link
between a physically active lifestyle and later-life health
outcomes. However, the complexity of physical activity behaviours,
and the analytical issues posed by lifecourse research, present
researchers with real challenges in accurately assessing the
relationship between lifelong physical activity and health.
Physical Activity Assessment: A Lifecourse Approach is the first
book to approach the assessment of physical activity for health
from a lifecourse perspective and provide students and researchers
with much-needed guidance on conducting lifecourse studies. The
book provides readers with a thorough grounding in physical
activity assessment from across the lifecourse perspective and
evaluates current methods of measurement, including comparison
studies, criterion methods, subjective assessment methods and
physical activity monitors. It then goes on to offer guidance on
the optimal measurement techniques of physical activity across the
lifecourse, suggesting how data should be collected, analysed and
quantified in light of modern technology and global connectivity,
and what these methods mean for physical activity guidelines and
interventions, and public health outcomes. Offering a unique and
novel combination of theoretical grounding and quantitative
research guidance, this is important reading for any students
taking modules in physical activity measurement or physical
activity and health, and any researchers conducting lifecourse
physical activity studies.
