Table 3. Functional mobility and self reported physical activity.
Variable | Control (n = 25) | HF (n = 25) | P value |
Functional mobility | |||
GUG, s | 10.4 ± 0.4 | 14.3 ± 1.7 | 0.03 |
CGS, m/s | 1.2 ± 0.1 | 0.9 ± 0.1 | 0.0001 |
Impaired US (% of group able only < 5 s) | 22% (5/23) | 71% (15/21) | 0.002* |
Self-reported physical activity | |||
CHAMPS (kcal/day, total) | 3421 ± 428 | 1893 ± 353 | 0.01 |
CHAMPS (kcal/day, ≥ moderate) | 2024 ± 296 | 796 ± 219 | 0.004 |
Data are presented as mean ± SE unless other indicated. *Fisher's exact test. CGS: comfortable gait speed; EPESE: established populations for the epidemiologic study of the elderly (higher score indicates more disability); CHAMPS: community healthy activities model program for seniors (daily physical activity reported as expenditure of total kilocalories and kilocalories for intensity of activity at a level of moderate or more); GUG: get up and go; US: unipedal stance.
