Background
Fatigue related to task standardized by duration and intensity, termed fatigability, could manifest as shortening of activity bouts throughout the day causing daily activity to accumulate in a more fragmented pattern. Our purpose was to study the association of activity fragmentation with physical and mental dimensions of fatigability.
Methods
A cross-sectional study of 485 community-dwelling 75-,80- and 85-year-old people using a thigh-worn accelerometer for 3 to 7 days. Activity fragmentation was studied as Active-to-Sedentary Transition Probability (ASTP) for two operational definitions of physical activity: accelerations equivalent to at least light physical activity, and for upright posture. Physical fatigability was assessed as perceived exertion fatigability, performance fatigability severity, and with the Physical Fatigue Subscale of the Situational Fatigue Scale (SFS). Mental fatigability was assessed with the Mental Fatigue Subscale of the SFS and as a decrease in perceived mental alertness after a six-minute walk test (6MWT).
Results
Higher activity fragmentation was associated with higher self-reported physical fatigability, perceived exertion fatigability and performance fatigability severity, independent of total activity minutes (β 0.13-0.33, p<0.05 for all). Higher activity fragmentation was not associated with mental fatigability in the fully adjusted models. The associations with fatigability indices were similar for both activity fragmentation indicators. Associations of activity fragmentation and performance fatigability severity were similar also among those with the highest intensity-based physical activity volume.
Conclusions
The findings provide support that studying fragmented activity patterns can be useful in identifying those at risk for high fatigability, even among those with relatively high physical activity level.

Momentary Associations Between Physical Activity, Affect, and Purpose in Life
Kekäläinen, Tiia; Luchetti, Martina; Terracciano, Antonio; Gamaldo, Alyssa A.; Sliwinski, Martin J.; Sutin, Angelina R. (Oxford University Press, 2024)Background Physical activity is associated with both the hedonic (e.g., affect) and eudaimonic (e.g., purpose in life) aspects of well-being. While there is evidence linking momentary physical activity and affect in daily ... -
Relationship between different domains of physical activity and positive mental health among young adult men
Appelqvist-Schmidlechner, Kaija; Vaara, Jani P.; Vasankari, Tommi; Häkkinen, Arja; Mäntysaari, Matti; Kyröläinen, Heikki (BioMed Central, 2020)Background There is growing evidence on positive effects of physical activity (PA) on mental health. However, the focus of previous research on this relationship has typically been on mental health from the perspective ... -
Multidimensional physical activity profiles and changes in physical function and self-reported walking ability among community-dwelling older adults : a 4-year follow-up
Palmberg, Lotta; Karavirta, Laura; Löppönen, Antti; Hyvärinen, Matti; Rantanen, Taina; Rantalainen, Timo (Oxford University Press (OUP), 2023)Purpose Physical activity (PA) is multidimensional but often assessed using single metrics. We studied how data-driven PA profiles predict changes in physical functioning and self-reported walking ability over time among ... -

Executive and physical functions among community-dwelling older adults : results from the PASSWORD study
Tirkkonen, Anna; Törmäkangas, Timo; Kulmala, Jenni; Hänninen, Tuomo; Neely, Anna Stigsdotter; Sipilä, Sarianna (Oxford University Press (OUP), 2023)Purpose Cognitive and physical functions are key factors for safe walking. As these functions deteriorate with age walking may be compromised among older adults. However, cognitive and physical decline may be attenuated ...
