Establishing Global Levels of Physical Activity[edit | edit source]

Comparisons of levels of Physical Acitivity [PA] between different countries were not possible until a decade ago, as prior to this there were no standardised instruments suitable for this use[1]. Early methods of classifying levels of PA tended to use either occupational classifications or estimations of leisure-time physical acitivities[2][3].
