clinical practice guideline development report

(2011). Canadian physical activity guidelines: clinical practice guideline development report. Canadian Society for Exercise Physiology.

Guideline questions Children (5 -11 years) and Youth (12­-17 years)

  • What is the relationship between physical activity and 7 health indicators (high blood cholesterol, depression, injury, bone mineral density, high blood pressure, overweight and obesity, metabolic syndrome) in school aged children and youth (5­-17years)?
  • How much (volume) of physical activity is needed for minimal and optimal health benefits in school-aged children and youth (i.e., does this increase in a dose-response manner)?
  • What types of activity are needed to produce health benefits?
  • What is the appropriate physical activity intensity?
  • Do the effects of physical activity on health in school­-aged children and youth vary by sex and/or age?

Adults (18-64 years) 

  • What is the relationship between physical activity and 8 health indicators (premature all-­cause mortality, cardiovascular disease, stroke, hypertension, colon cancer, breast cancer, type 2 diabetes, osteoporosis) in adults (18-64 years)?
  • Does this relationship increase in a dose-response manner (and if so, what is the nature of the curve)? ­
  • Does current evidence support existing Canadian Physical Activity Guidelines?

Older Adults (> 65 years)

  • What is the relationship between physical activity and functional independence (i.e. functional limitations, disability, or loss of independence) and cognitive function in older adults (>65 years)? ­
  • What are the types, volumes, and intensities of physical activity related to higher functional status? ­
  • Is there a dose-­response relationship between total physical activity or intensity of physical activity the related functional outcomes?
