Minutes
Overview of Committee Report
William Haskell, Ph.D., discussed the overall structure of the
committee's report. Certain background information will be addressed such as the
challenges surrounding various methods for classifying physical activity (i.e.,
metabolic/mechanical features, LTPA, TPA, occupational, household, by intensity
and the concept of METS). Measurement issues through questionnaires and
objective assessment will also be addressed as well as the concept of dose
response and physical activity versus physical fitness. Overall the report will
focus on general conclusions, reports from the 11 subcommittees and future
research recommendations.
