Abstract

The Canadian Physical Activity, Fitness, and Lifestyle Appraisal (CPAFLA) is a standardized battery of tests that is commonly used to assess asymptomatic individuals. This paper reviews evidence concerning the reliability, validity, and utility of the procedure currently used to assess habitual physical activity in the CPAFLA and surveys available physical activity assessment options. Special considerations related to age, gender, ethnicity, seasonal variations, and within-week variance are discussed. The potential assessment options are discussed with consideration given to the logistical and pragmatic constraints inherent in the CPAFLA. New technologies for future assessment of physical activity are briefly presented and recommendations for future research forwarded. Key words: energy expenditure, activity monitoring, motion sensors, habitual physical activity, fitness assessment
