ABSTRACT:
Public concern for the health promotion of aging populations calls for a better understanding about the nature and scope of older adult exercise patterns. The Older Adult Exercise Status Inventory (OA-ESI) improves on the designs of previous seven-day recall instruments by being age-relevant and memory-enhancing. Taking only a few minutes to complete, the inventory organizes 38 exercise and sport activities along with five indoor and outdoor work categories alphabetically by rows, and the seven days of the week by columns. Subjects fill in the duration of their participation in minutes for specific activities for each day. MET units are provided on the form so that researchers can quickly calculate daily and weekly energy spent on exercise in kilocalories. Test-retest reliability in two separate studies for leisure-time physical activity was r = .756 and r = .771. Several forms of validity are presented using data on 327 Vancouver women over the age of 70.
