Abstract

Introduction: The Canadian Health Measures Survey (CHMS) is the most comprehensive direct health measures survey ever conducted in Canada. Results show that the majority of children and youth (93%) do not meet current physical activity recommendations for health. CHMS data have not yet been considered alongside an independent sample of Canadian youth; such a Canadian-context examination could support CHMS results and contribute to discussions regarding accelerometry data reduction protocols.

Methods: From 2010 to 2011, valid accelerometry data were collected on 856 children living in the Greater Toronto Area (GTA). Where possible, data presentation and analyses were aligned with the CHMS protocol such that physical activity outcomes could be compared.

Results: Overall, trends were similar, with some deviations likely due to contextual and sampling differences and differences in data collection/reduction protocols regarding accelerometer model selection, wear time, activity intensity thresholds and epoch.

Conclusion: The similar trends support the notion that physical inactivity is an ongoing problem in communities across Canada.

多伦多的孩子们有多活跃?与加拿大健康措施调查中加速度计数据的比较。

加拿大健康措施调查(CHMS)是有史以来在加拿大进行的最全面的直接健康措施调查。结果表明，大多数儿童和青年(93%)没有达到目前的身体活动健康建议。CHMS数据尚未与加拿大青年的独立样本一起考虑;这样的加拿大背景检查可以支持CHMS结果，并有助于关于加速度计数据简化方案的讨论。方法:收集2010 - 2011年居住在大多伦多地区的856名儿童的有效加速度测量数据。在可能的情况下，数据呈现和分析与CHMS方案保持一致，以便对身体活动结果进行比较。结果:总体而言，趋势是相似的，有一些偏差可能是由于上下文和抽样差异以及关于加速度计模型选择，磨损时间，活动强度阈值和epoch的数据收集/还原协议的差异。结论:类似的趋势支持了这样一种观点，即缺乏身体活动是加拿大各地社区持续存在的问题。
