The recommended physical activity guidelines for adolescents are 60 daily minutes of moderate to vigorous activity with at least three days a week involving vigorous activity [1]
The results showed that while compliance is challenging, wearable devices can be used to assess daily physical activity levels and intensities in underrepresented minority high school female athletes during an extended physical activity intervention
We aimed to assess daily activity levels during a similar 10 week study in underrepresented minority female athletes monitored via FitbitTM wearable technology
Summary
The recommended physical activity guidelines for adolescents are 60 daily minutes of moderate to vigorous activity with at least three days a week involving vigorous activity [1]. Moderate physical activity examples include bike riding, brisk walking and dancing; examples of vigorous level activities include running, martial arts and active games like tag [1]. According to NHANES data, only 20% of young adults and adolescents meet this requirement, which is worrisome in light of the United States’ obesity epidemic [2]. Even more concerning is that a large gender and racial disparity exists within these numbers [3,4,5,6,7]. Copyright © All rights are reserved by Katherine Rizzone.
