Resumen
ROSSI, F. Eduardo et al. Physical activity level behavior according to the day of the week in postmenopausal women. Rev Andal Med Deporte [online]. 2017, vol.10, n.2, pp.64-68. ISSN 2172-5063. https://dx.doi.org/10.1016/j.ramd.2015.02.012.
Objective:
The aim of this study was to compare the differences in the levels of physical activity practiced during the weekdays and weekends in obese postmenopausal women.
Method:
117 post-menopausal women aged between 50 and 79 were evaluated. To estimate the percentage of body fat the Dual-Energy X-ray Absorptiometry was used. The assessment of physical activity level was obtained using a tri-axial accelerometer.
Results:
There was a significant increase in physical activity-light and a significant decrease in physical activity moderate, vigorous, moderate-vigorous and overall number of counts at the weekend compared to the weekdays. The physical activity moderate-vigorous reduced by an average of 38.6% (p < 0.001) at the weekend compared to the weekdays.
Conclusion:
Obese post-menopausal women presented decreasing physical activity moderate, vigorous, moderate-vigorous and overall number of counts at the weekends compared to the weekdays and an increase in physical activity light.
