Resumo: | Physical activity has been linked with several health benefi ts. Despite the evidence from population surveys, the measurement of physical activity has presented a challenge for researches in the area. The present study intends to show the main instruments for measuring physical activity, as well as their limitations and advantages. The choice of the most adequate instrument should observe criteria such as quality, simplicity or others. Currently, the lack of a “gold standard” instrument, suggests that a combination of methods would be the means of providing better data. The development of new instruments, improvement of current ones and the combination of methods are possible choices presented in this study for the use of better quality instruments. |

A atividade física tem sido relacionada a diversos benefícios para a saúde. Apesar de evidências levantadas em estudos populacionais, a mensuração da atividade física tem representado um desafio para pesquisadores da área. O presente estudo pretende apresentar os principais instrumentos de medida da atividade física, suas vantagens e limitações. A escolha do instrumento mais adequado deve atender a alguns critérios como a qualidade, a praticidade do instrumento entre outros. A falta de um instrumento considerado “padrão” sugere atualmente a utilização de uma combinação de métodos de maneira a fornecer dados mais confi áveis e precisos. A construção de novos instrumentos, o refi namento dos instrumentos existentes e a combinação de métodos são possibilidades consideradas para o uso de instrumentos de melhor qualidade.Universidade Federal de Santa Catarina.
