Background:
The goals of this study were to examine 1) longitudinal trajectories of energy expenditure from recreational physical activity (PA) in postmenopausal women, 2) whether women who belong to different PA trajectories engage in different types of PA, and 3) whether baseline sociodemographic, health, psychosocial, and lifestyle characteristics predict membership in PA trajectories.
Methods:
Women from the Women’s Health Initiative Observational Study with baseline PA data (n = 92,629) were included. Physical activity, measured via self-report 6 times over 8 years, was converted to MET hr/wk for analysis. Latent growth curve mixture models and latent profile models were used to analyze longitudinal PA trajectories and cross-sectional PA composition, respectively.
Results:
Three distinct, stable PA trajectories (highly, moderately, and minimally active) were identified with nearly 75% of the women classified as minimally active (≤ 8 MET-hr/wk). The majority of women who were at least moderately active engaged in a balanced combination of walking, moderate, and vigorous PA. Sociodemographic characteristics such as income, education, and past vigorous PA were predictive of PA trajectory, as were some health status indicators (eg, body mass index), but not health related quality of life.
Conclusions:
Self-reported PA is largely stable across nearly a decade of follow-up in postmenopausal women.

) or four (e.g., Grimson et al., 2021 ) assessments has yielded no statistical differences in well-being, implying that this component of mental health is stable over time in athletes. By contrast, other research has noted evidence of person-level changes in well-being, leading researchers to contend

However, results revealed task-specific gains only, with increased postural stability and resulting longer time of equilibrium in slackline standing but lack of transfer to quiet balance on a stable support surface. Then, this training

results of the cross-lagged panel analysis are displayed in Table 3 . First, the basic model (model 1) with autoregressive paths and within-wave residual correlations fit the data well. All the autoregressive paths were significant and stable over time, indicating the individual differences remained

The formation of habitual PA, that is, exercising regularly in a consistent manner ( Laitakari, Vuori, & Oja, 1996 ), may further require the presence of unchanging environmental cues, for instance, a specific location, time of day ( Tappe, Tarves, Oltarzewski, & Frum, 2013 ), and stable PA
