研究概览
简要总结
This study explores the levels of daily physical activity and sedentary behaviour in Maastricht University's undergraduate first year students. Furthermore, this study explores the correlations between the students' demographical background information with their levels of physical activity and sedentary behaviour.
详细描述
Participants are randomly recruited from the student population. The participants are invited to complete a demographics questionnaire, wear an ActivPAl accelerometer for 7 days, and complete daily diaries (modified International Physical Activity Questionnaire) throughout the 7 days.

结局指标
主要结局
Time (minutes) spent in various activities (sleeping, being sedentary, standing and stepping) measured by the ActivPAL accelerometer
时间窗: 7 days
The ActivPAL accelerometer senses limb position and activity. From this information, it can reliably discriminate periods of upright activity from seated or lying activities. Furthermore, the cadence (stepping rate) of upright activities can be accurately recorded. Energy expenditure (estimated by the ActivPAL accelerometer using Metabolic Equivalent of Task (MET)) and cadence (step frequency, i.e., steps per minute) will be used to distinguish between sleeping, being sedentary, standing and stepping. The time spent sleeping, being sedentary, standing and stepping will be measured and compared against global recommendations of physical activity (e.g., WHO recommendations).
