Abstract

The purpose of the study was to compare the accuracy of the previously established steps thresholds (cross validation) associated with the recommended 60 minutes of moderate-tovigorous physical activity in adolescents. A sample of 85 highschool and bachelor students (29 boys and 56 girls) aged 12-18 years old participated in the present study. Daily moderate-tovigorous physical activity levels and steps were measured objectively accelerometers. Each participant wore an accelerometer placed on the right hip for a full day. The accuracy results of the previously established daily step-based thresholds related to achieving at least 60 minutes per day of moderate-to-vigorous physical activity in adolescents ranged from moderate to high. Achieving at least between 9,701- 11,500 (males)/9,000-9,701 (females) steps per day seems to be the most appropriate for compliance with daily physical activity recommendations in adolescents.
