Abstract
OBJECTIVES: Little is known about how much variability exists in free-living sitting time within individuals. The purpose of this study was to examine intra-individual variability of objectively determined daily sitting time and to determine if this variability was related to weekly averages of sitting duration or recommended moderate-vigorous physical activity (MVPA). Also, this study determined the reliability of free-living sitting and MVPA time as it useful for guiding researchers in determining how many days of monitoring are needed. DESIGN: An activPAL monitor was worn for 7 consecutive days by 68 women (52±8 years). METHODS: Intra-individual range of daily sitting time was calculated. Generalizability theory analysis determined the reliability of daily sitting and recommended MVPA. RESULTS: Mean sitting time was 9.0±1.8h/day and the within individual weekly mean range was 4.5±1.7h/day. Similarly, there was a 4.5h/day difference in sitting time between the mean of the lowest sitting (6.7±0.8) and highest sitting (11.3±1.1h/day) quartiles. The intra-individual range in daily sitting did not differ among quartiles of sitting time (i.e., 4.9±1.9, 4.1±1.9, 5.1±1.5, 3.9±1.1h/day for the 1st-4th quartiles) nor among quartiles of MVPA (i.e., 4.2±1.8, 4.7±2.0, 4.6±1.5, 4.4±1.3h/day for the 1st-4th quartiles). A reliability coefficient of 0.80 was achieved with 4 days of objectively measured sitting time and 7 days for MVPA. CONCLUSIONS: The findings suggest exposure to relatively high levels of sedentary time may occur in people regardless of weekly averages in sitting and regular exercise due to the high day-to-day variation in daily sitting time (4.5h/d range within a week).
