Abstract
To evaluate whether normal weight and overweight/obese college students differ on physical activity level and self-reported physical activity recall accuracy. On day one, 52 college students (18.7 + or - 0.85 years) had height and weight measured and received an ActiGraph GT1M accelerometer to wear for 7 consecutive days. After wearing the GT1M, participants completed self-report physical activity questions on the Behavior Risk Factor Surveillance Survey (BRFSS) and the International Physical Activity Questionnaire (IPAQ). Body mass index (BMI) was classified as either normal weight <25.0 kg/m super(2) (n=30; 21.08 + or - 2.01 kg/m super(2)) or overweight/obese: > or = 25.0 kg/m super(2) (n=22; 29.57 + or - 4.76 kg/m super(2)). Recall accuracy was calculated by self-reported minutes in moderate and vigorous physical activity minus minutes in moderate and vigorous physical activity measured by the GT1M. No significant differences were found between normal and overweight/obese participants on the average minutes per day spent in moderate and vigorous physical activity based on the BRFSS, IPAQ, and ActiGraph GT1M (p>.05).
