目标。描述在活跃的成年人中，特定类型的身体活动所代表的中度或剧烈身体活动（MVPA）总时间的比例。我们分析了2008年英国健康调查中4750名成年参与者的数据，他们报告每周5天进行30分钟的MVPA。他们的MVPA时间所占的比例：职业、家庭、步行、运动和健身、团队运动、非团队运动、户外活动和休闲活动，并计算出6个年龄段的平均水平。运动和健身活动在年轻人（1624岁：男性= 27%；女性= 21%）的总MVPA中所占比例高于老年人（65岁以上：12%；11%）；团体运动也是如此（16-24岁：12%，2%；65岁以上：0%，0%）。在老年男性和女性中，家庭活动占MVPA总时间的比例较大（16-24岁：9%，16%；65岁以上：34%，38%）。步行是所有年龄组（包括男女）中对总MVPA最重要的贡献之一（所有年龄段范围：26-42%，37-45%）。身体活跃的英国成年人的身体活动情况随年龄而变化。可能需要针对特定年龄的干预措施来增加成年人的身体活动。(C) 2011爱思唯尔公司版权所有。
Objective. Describe the proportion of total moderate or vigorous physical activity (MVPA) time that is represented by specific types of physical activity among active adults.Methods. We analyzed data from 4750 adult participants in the 2008 Health Survey for England who reported 30 min of MVPA on >= 5 days per week. The proportion of their MVPA time spent in: occupational, domestic, walking, exercise and fitness, team sports, non-team sports, outdoor pursuit, and leisure pursuit activities were calculated and averaged across 6 age categories.Results. Exercise and fitness activities make up a greater proportion of total MVPA for young adults (1624 years: men = 27%; women = 21%) than old adults (65+ years: 12%; 11%); the same is true for Team sports (16-24 years: 12%, 2%; 65+ years: 0%, 0%). Domestic activities make up a greater proportion of total MVPA time among older men and women (16-24 years: 9%, 16%; 65+ years: 34%, 38%). Walking is one of the most important contributors to total MVPA across all age groups for both sexes (range all ages: 26-42%, 37-45%).Conclusion. The physical activity profile of physically active English adults varies with age. Age-specific interventions to increase physical activity among adults may be needed. (C) 2011 Elsevier Inc.
