The dimensions of physical activity include the following:

• Household/gardening, occupational, leisure-time, active transport
• Frequency, Intensity, Duration, Type
• Exercise, recreation, organised sport, play
• Individual, social, physical environment, policy

The following is an example of social benefit of physical activity

• Lower resting heart
• improved cardiovascular function
• improved self-esteem
• increased sense of belonging and attachement

A subjective measure of physical activity levels includes

• relying on solid data such as a pedometer and direct observation
• Relies on ones own perception such as direct observation, diary
• Relies on solid data such as accelerometer, pedometer
• Relies one's own perception such as diary and self report

A subjective measure of physical activity levels includes

• relying on solid data such as a pedometer and direct observation
• Relies on ones own perception such as direct observation, diary
• Relies on solid data such as accelerometer, pedometer
• Relies one's own perception such as diary and self report

A objective measure of physical activity levels includes

• relying on solid data such as a pedometer and direct observation
• Relies on ones own perception such as direct observation, diary
• Relies on solid data such as accelerometer, pedometer
• Relies one's own perception such as diary and self report

A limitation of using a pedometer to assess physical activity is

• it is a subjective measure
• it does not assess all dimensions of physical activity
• it is an objective measure
• it may encourage more physical activity

An advantage of using a pedometer to assess physical activity is 

• it an objective measure
• it assesses all dimensions of physical activity
• it measures intensity
• it is appropriate for children

The most appropriate method for assessing a whole year 11 cohort's physical activity levels would be

• Diary
• Self-report recall survey  
• accelerometers
• Direct observation

An advantage of using a Diary to assess physical activity levels is

• It is an objective measure that assesses all dimensions of physical activity
• It is not time consuming
• it is a subjective measure that can assess all dimensions of physical activity
• It relies on solid data

An advantage of using a Self-report survey to assess physical activity levels is

• It is an objective measure that assesses all dimensions of physical activity
• It can be completed within a single administration
• it is a subjective measure so provides very accurate data
• It relies on solid data
