Sammanfattning
To make individualized counseling possible, valid and reliable measures of physical activity are necessary. In health care, quality must
be continuously secured and developed. Follow-up of life-style habits such as physical activity does not differ from monitoring of other
treatment in the health care setting. After counseling and appropriate period of time, evaluation should be done to assess if there has been
any change in the physical activity level. For assessment and evaluation of physical activity in routine clinical practice the National Board for
Health and Social Welfare indicator questions regarding physical activity are recommended. For a more detailed assessment and evaluation
of physical activity and sedentary behavior comprehensive validated instruments/diaries should be used. For precise and objective
assessment and evaluation of both physical activity and sedentary behavior, movement sensors are recommended.
