The evidence used to inform current guidelines has exclusively relied on self-reported measurements, which are largely susceptible to both recall and social desirability biases.
“The evidence used to inform current guidelines has exclusively relied on self-reported measurements, which are largely susceptible to both recall and social desirability biases.18,19”
Self-report instruments are the most widely used tools to assess physical activity.
“Self-report instruments are the most widely used tools to assess physical activity and include self or intervieweradministered (face-to-face or by phone) questionnaires, recalls and activity diaries [25].”
Self-reported methods have limitations including difficulties in ascertaining frequency, duration and intensity, capturing all domains, social desirability bias, and cognitive demands of recall.
“There are numerous limitations to self-reported methods, which include: difficulties in ascertaining the frequency, duration and intensity of physical activity, capturing all domains of physical activity, social desirability bias and the cognitive demands of recall [25].”
Self-reported data are prone to reporting errors of physical activity duration and intensity.
“These studies are limited by their use of self-reported data, which is known to be prone to reporting errors of physical activity duration and intensity [13].”

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
