Criterion Validity and Reliability of 2 Brief Physical Activity Questionnaires in Ethnically Diverse Adults.

Purpose: The study compares moderate- to vigorous-intensity physical activity (MVPA) as evaluated by the Exercise Vital Signs (EVS) and Physical Activity Vital Signs (PAVS) questionnaires to accelerometry, and evaluates the reliability of the questionnaires in ethnically diverse adults.

Methods: Ninety-nine participants (mean age 38.1 y; 49.

The effects of exercise on lipid profile and blood glucose levels in people living with HIV: A systematic review of randomized controlled trials.

Exercise is commonly prescribed to improve lipid profile and glucose levels in people living with HIV (PLWH). This systematic review was performed in order to examine the effects of exercise interventions on lipid profile and glucose levels on PLWH. Randomized controlled trials (RCTs) investigating the effects of exercise on blood glucose, triglycerides (TG), total cholesterol (TC), HDL and LDL published up to November 2017 were reviewed.

Validity and Reliability of the Exercise Vital Sign Questionnaire in an Ethnically Diverse Group: A Pilot Study.

The purpose of this study was to determine the validity and reliability of the Exercise Vital Sign (EVS) questionnaire in an ethnically diverse sample. Participants (N = 39) were asked to wear an accelerometer at the hip for at least 7 days and to complete the EVS at the beginning (T1) and end (T2) of the wear period. The EVS questionnaire validity was determined against accelerometry, and bias was calculated as the mean difference between measures.

Association Between Physical Activity, Depression, and Diabetes in Urban-Dwelling People Living with HIV.

Physical activity (PA) may improve physical and mental health in people living with HIV (PLWH). However, the associations between PA participation and physical and mental health problems of PLWH in urban settings remain largely unknown. Our objective was to determine the relationships between PA and physical and mental health in urban-dwelling PLWH.
