背景拉丁美洲人有最低的休闲时间体力活动（LTPA）率。然而，仅测量LTPA可能会低估总体力活动。本研究比较了客观的身体活动的拉丁美洲人报告高或低水平的LTPA，也比较了性别differences.MethodsData从148拉丁美洲人（n = 83名妇女，n = 65名男子）。Freedson切割点，以确定每天分钟的activity.ResultsLatinos报告高LTPA从事更多的日常分钟的激烈和非常激烈的活动比Latinos报告低LTPA（P值< .05）。两组拉丁美洲人每天中等强度活动的分钟数没有差异（P= 0.12），两组拉丁美洲人都符合疾病控制和预防中心/美国运动医学学院的指南。男性从事更多的日常分钟的中等活动比women（P< .01）。ConclusionsMany Latinos满足体力活动指南，即使报告低水平的LTPA。未来的研究应确定是否通过满足LTPA和非LTPA指南获得等同的健康益处。
BackgroundLatinos have the lowest leisure-time physical activity (LTPA) rates. However, measurement of only LTPA might underestimate total physical activity. This study compares the objective physical activity of Latinos reporting high or low levels of LTPA and also compares gender differences.MethodsData were obtained from 148 Latinos (n = 83 women, n = 65 men). Freedson cut points were employed to determine daily minutes of activity.ResultsLatinos reporting high LTPA engaged in more daily minutes of vigorous and very vigorous activity than Latinos reporting low LTPA (Pvalues < .05). There was no difference in daily minutes of moderate-intensity activity (P= .12), with both groups of Latinos meeting Centers for Disease Control and Prevention/American College of Sports Medicine guidelines. Men engaged in more daily minutes of moderate activity than women (P< .01).ConclusionsMany Latinos met physical activity guidelines even when reporting low levels of LTPA. Future studies should determine whether equivalent health benefits are achieved by meeting guidelines through LTPA and non-LTPA.
