About this study

Data is collected using activity monitors. This data then compared to self reported physical activity obtained through questionnaires. Questionnaires are based on recall. Overall physical activity will then be correlated to maximal oxygen uptake to see whether people with high activity also have high maximal oxygen uptake.

Who can participate

Healthy volunteers accepted: No

Only the study team can determine whether someone qualifies for participation.

Inclusion criteria

  • ability to walk at least 1km,
  • born in 1938,1939,1940,1941 or 1942
  • Sufficiently good health to be able to take part in the study, as determined by the researchers

Exclusion criteria

  • Illness or disability that precludes exercise or hinders completion of the study
  • Uncontrolled hypertension
  • Symptomatic valve disease, hyper tropic cardio-myopathy or unstable angina
  • Active cancer
  • Test results indicating that study participation is unsafe
  • Inclusion in other studies conflicting with participation in this one

Treatment and study plan

Primary outcomes

  1. Correlation between maximal oxygen uptake and activity level

    Time frame: baseline

    maximal oxygen uptake measured using Metamax on a Treadmill. Activity level assessed using triaxial activity monitors.

Secondary outcomes

  1. Difference between self reported recall physical activity and activity monitor measured physical activity

    Time frame: Baseline

    self reported Physical Activity is assessed by having participants fill out a questionnaire (developed by HUNT) outlining their Physical Activity (through recall).

    Physical activity is objectively measured using triaxial accelerometers.

Other outcomes

  1. total daily energy expenditure

    Time frame: Baseline

    Measured through triaxial accelerometer.

  2. activity energy expenditure

    Time frame: baseline

    Measured using triaxial accelerometer

  3. sedentary time

    Time frame: baseline

    Measured using triaxial accelerometer
