Event Start Date: October 07, 2021 - 6:00 PM EDT

Event End Date: October 07, 2021 - 7:00 PM EDT

Cancer and Physical activity webinar hosted by the National Cancer Institute (NCI).

This webinar will describe the updated NCI ACT24 physical activity assessment tool, a web-based previous-day recall instrument that was designed to estimate daily summary values for physical activity, sedentary behavior, and energy expenditure. Experts will share results concerning validation studies, as well as national estimates for sedentary time, MVPA, and COVID-related changes in activity among US adults between Fall 2019 and 2020. ACT24 is freely available for use by researchers, teachers, clinicians, and others interested in assessing daily physical activity levels.
