Adherence

Objective measures of physical activity (via accelerometers) in long-term lifestyle intervention trials often show no significant difference between intensive and control groups, despite self-reported improvements and weight loss benefits.

Self-reported exercise improvements may not always reflect objective changes in daily movement. However, even modest objective increases in activity, if sustained, can contribute to cardiovascular benefits, suggesting that any increase in movement is valuable even if it doesn't meet high-intensity targets.

GoodQualifiesMEDIUM confidence
Non variazioni significative delle misure con accelerometro, nei soggetti in cui queste misure erano disponibili (n=1978)... Nel complesso, dunque, questo ampio e prolungato studio suggerisce che la modifica dello stile di vita possa avere effetti cardiovascolari benefici... anche se tale conclusione poggia su analisi post-hoc, di misure ottenute precocemente rispetto alla conclusione del trial

Why this rating

Based on a large RCT (Look AHEAD) with objective sub-cohort data, though the finding is from a post-hoc analysis.
