Implication

Cross-sectional analysis reveals significant discrepancies in physical activity levels among South African university students, suggesting a need for objective monitoring tools.

Key Points

Self-reported physical activity levels were significantly higher than objective pedometer data, indicating overestimation.
Only 61.7% of participants met the recommended aerobic step counts, compared to 83.3% reporting high activity levels.
Spearman's correlation revealed a negative association between pedometer-measured steps and BMI, highlighting health implications.
This research emphasizes the integration of accurate measurement tools in public health strategies to combat non-communicable diseases.
