| Abstract;To evaluate the quantity and quality of physical activity of diabetic patients, we used a unique pedometer (CAL-D, manufactured by Suzuken Co., Ltd. in Japan), which memorizes caloric consumption by physical movement, total number of steps and intensity of physical movement for 30 days. The data were sent by the infrared transmitter of the device to a personal computer. The maximum, minimum and average steps per day during the past 30 days, accumulated duration of physical activity, caloric consumption by physical movement were then calculated by a personal computer. Graphic display of physical movement variability during 24 hours made it easy to confirm duration, time course and intensity of each patient's exercise. One hundred forty-three diabetic patients without diabetic micro- and macroangiopathy were studied. Differences of physical activity by sex, age, BMI or occupation can be displayed objectively. Patients who had attended exercise programs prior to the study were more active than those who had not. The results of our study show this method is effective in evaluating physical activity, and practical in educating patients about exercise. (author abst.) |
