- Systematic review of reviews of intervention components associated with increased effectiveness in dietary and physical activity interventions (2011, methodology): “As self-report increases the risk of measurement bias,[26,27] we have highlighted findings based on self-report in the data tables (Additional file 2 Tables S7-S14).”
- Exploring the experience of introjected regulation for exercise across gender in adolescence (2009, methodology): “Although it is acknowledged that self-reported physical activity commonly overestimates activity levels (Shephard, 2003), this was considered sufficient as a rough guide from which to approximate usual activity levels for the purposes of the present study.”
- Physical activity for health: What kind? How much? How intense? On top of what? (2011, methodology): “They are the most accurately measured using self-reported activities (23, 80, 83).”

- Built environmental correlates of older adults’ total physical activity and walking: a systematic review and meta-analysis (2017, background): “With regard to measurement of total PA, objective PA measures are considered to provide more valid assessments of intensity, duration, and frequency of PA than subjective alternatives [36].”
- Domain-Specific Physical Activity and Mental Health: A Meta-analysis. (2017, background): “defined as any muscular movement that expends energy, PA can take place during leisure time, work, or school, as a method of transportation, or while carrying out household chores.(9) As the reasons for participation are likely to vary between these different PA domains (i.”
