Note:

Because this dataset has been used in a competition, we had to hide some of the data to prepare the test dataset for the competition. Thus, in the previous version of the dataset, only train.csv file is existed.

Content

This dataset represents 10 different physical poses that can be used to distinguish 5 exercises. The exercises are Push-up, Pull-up, Sit-up, Jumping Jack and Squat. For every exercise, 2 different classes have been used to represent the terminal positions of that exercise (e.g., “up” and “down” positions for push-ups).

Collection Process

About 500 videos of people doing the exercises have been used in order to collect this data. The videos are from Countix Dataset that contain the YouTube links of several human activity videos. Using a simple Python script, the videos of 5 different physical exercises are downloaded. From every video, at least 2 frames are manually extracted. The extracted frames represent the terminal positions of the exercise.

Processing Data

For every frame, MediaPipe framework is used for applying pose estimation, which detects the human skeleton of the person in the frame. The landmark model in MediaPipe Pose predicts the location of 33 pose landmarks (see figure below). Visit Mediapipe Pose Classification page for more details.

This dataset is from the 2013 California Dietary Practices Survey of Adults. This survey has been discontinued. Adults were asked a series of eight questions about their physical activity practices in the last month. These questions were borrowed from the Behavior Risk Factor Surveillance System. Data displayed in this table represent California adults who met the aerobic recommendation for physical activity, as defined by the 2008 U.S. Department of Health and Human Services Physical Activity Guidelines for Americans and Objectives 2.1 and 2.2 of Healthy People 2020.

The California Dietary Practices Surveys (CDPS) (now discontinued) was the most extensive dietary and physical activity assessment of adults 18 years and older in the state of California. CDPS was designed in 1989 and was administered biennially in odd years up through 2013. The CDPS was designed to monitor dietary trends, especially fruit and vegetable consumption, among California adults for evaluating their progress toward meeting the 2010 Dietary Guidelines for Americans and the Healthy People 2020 Objectives. For the data in this table, adults were asked a series of eight questions about their physical activity practices in the last month. Questions included: 1) During the past month, other than your regular job, did you participate in any physical activities or exercise such as running, calisthenics, golf, gardening or walking for exercise? 2) What type of physical activity or exercise did you spend the most time doing during the past month? 3) How many times per week or per month did you take part n this activity during the past month? 4) And when you took part in this activity, for how many minutes or hours did you usually keep at it? 5) During the past month, how many times per week or per month did you do physical activities or exercises to strengthen your muscles? Questions 2, 3, and 4 were repeated to collect a second activity. Data were collected using a list of participating CalFresh households and random digit dial, approximately 1,400-1,500 adults (ages 18 and over) were interviewed via phone survey between the months of June and October. Demographic data included gender, age, ethnicity, education level, income, physical activity level, overweight status, and food stamp eligibility status. Data were oversampled for low-income adults to provide greater sensitivity for analyzing trends among our target population.

Context

This dataset was collected by me, along with my friends during my college days. The dataset mostly contains data from my friends and family members. This dataset has the survey data for the type of fitness practices that people follow.

Data for cities, communities, and City of Los Angeles Council Districts were generated using a small area estimation method which combined the survey data with population benchmark data (2022 population estimates for Los Angeles County) and neighborhood characteristics data (e.g., U.S. Census Bureau, 2017-2021 American Community Survey 5-Year Estimates). The current Physical Activity Guidelines for Americans is issued by the US Department of Health and Human Services. To meet physical activity guidelines, adults must meet aerobic physical activity guidelines (vigorous activity for at least 75 minutes a week, or moderate activity for at least 150 minutes a week, or a combination of vigorous and moderate activity for at least 150 minutes a week) and muscle-strengthening physical activity guidelines (exercise all major muscle groups on 2 or more days a week).Physical inactivity contributes to our current obesity epidemic and is a major risk factor for heart disease, diabetes, cancer, and many other chronic health conditions. It can be difficult for people to be physically active if their communities do not have available and safe places for recreation.For more information about the Community Health Profiles Data Initiative, please see the initiative homepage.

NatCen Social Research and the Health and Social Care Information Centre apologise for any inconvenience this may have caused. Note 18/12/09: Please note that a slightly amended version of the Health Survey for England 2008 report, Volume 1, has been made available on this page on 18 December 2009. This was in order to correct the legend and title of figure 13G on page 321 of this volume. The NHS IC apologises for any inconvenience caused. The Health Survey for England is a series of annual surveys designed to measure health and health-related behaviours in adults and children living in private households in England. The survey was commissioned originally by the Department of Health and, from April 2005 by The NHS Information Centre for health and social care. The Health Survey for England has been designed and carried out since 1994 by the Joint Health Surveys Unit of the National Centre for Social Research (NatCen) and the Department of Epidemiology and Public Health at the University College London Medical School (UCL). The 2008 Health Survey for England focused on physical activity and fitness. Adults and children were asked to recall their physical activity over recent weeks, and objective measures of physical activity and fitness were also obtained. A secondary objective was to examine results on childhood obesity and other factors affecting health, including fruit and vegetable consumption, drinking and smoking.

LifeSnaps Dataset Documentation

Ubiquitous self-tracking technologies have penetrated various aspects of our lives, from physical and mental health monitoring to fitness and entertainment. Yet, limited data exist on the association between in the wild large-scale physical activity patterns, sleep, stress, and overall health, and behavioral patterns and psychological measurements due to challenges in collecting and releasing such datasets, such as waning user engagement, privacy considerations, and diversity in data modalities. In this paper, we present the LifeSnaps dataset, a multi-modal, longitudinal, and geographically-distributed dataset, containing a plethora of anthropological data, collected unobtrusively for the total course of more than 4 months by n=71 participants, under the European H2020 RAIS project. LifeSnaps contains more than 35 different data types from second to daily granularity, totaling more than 71M rows of data. The participants contributed their data through numerous validated surveys, real-time ecological momentary assessments, and a Fitbit Sense smartwatch, and consented to make these data available openly to empower future research. We envision that releasing this large-scale dataset of multi-modal real-world data, will open novel research opportunities and potential applications in the fields of medical digital innovations, data privacy and valorization, mental and physical well-being, psychology and behavioral sciences, machine learning, and human-computer interaction.

The following instructions will get you started with the LifeSnaps dataset and are complementary to the original publication.

Data Import: Reading CSV

For ease of use, we provide CSV files containing Fitbit, SEMA, and survey data at daily and/or hourly granularity. You can read the files via any programming language. For example, in Python, you can read the files into a Pandas DataFrame with the pandas.read_csv() command.

Data Import: Setting up a MongoDB (Recommended)

To take full advantage of the LifeSnaps dataset, we recommend that you use the raw, complete data via importing the LifeSnaps MongoDB database.

To do so, open the terminal/command prompt and run the following command for each collection in the DB. Ensure you have MongoDB Database Tools installed from here.

For the Fitbit data, run the following:

mongorestore --host localhost:27017 -d rais_anonymized -c fitbit 

For the SEMA data, run the following:

mongorestore --host localhost:27017 -d rais_anonymized -c sema 

For surveys data, run the following:

A meticulously compiled dataset providing deep insights into the global fitness industry in 2025. This dataset covers high-demand topics such as the exponential growth of fitness clubs, emerging trends in boutique fitness studios, skyrocketing online fitness training statistics, the flourishing fitness equipment market, and changing consumer behavior and expenditure patterns in the fitness sector.

Sponsored by the Robert Wood Johnson Foundation, the Active for Life (AFL) initiative investigated how two physical activity programs for adults aged 50 and older, Active Choices (AC) and Active Living Every Day (ALED), worked in community settings. Created by researchers at Stanford University, Active Choices used lifestyle counseling and personalized telephone support to encourage older adults to be physically active. In AFL, this was a 6-month program delivered through one face-to-face meeting followed by up to eight one-on-one telephone counseling calls. Active Living Every Day, which was created by the Cooper Institute and Human Kinetics Inc., also provided lifestyle counseling to promote physical activity, but in a classroom and workbook format. During the first three years of the four-year AFL initiative, ALED was delivered as a 20-week program where participants attended weekly small group meetings, but in the last year it was shortened to 12 weekly meetings. Nine organizations received AFL grants to implement the programs during 2003-2006. Four grantees implemented the one-on-one AC model, while five implemented the group-based ALED model. Data were collected from the AC and ALED sites for both a process and outcomes evaluation. The primary aims of the process evaluation were to (1) monitor the extent to which the grantees demonstrated fidelity to the AC and ALED models in their program implementation, (2) assess staff experiences implementing the programs, and (3) assess participants' impressions of the programs. A quasi-experimental, pre-post study design was used to assess outcomes. Primary aims of the outcomes evaluation were to evaluate the impact of AC and ALED on self-reported physical activity, and to evaluate the impact of the programs on self-reported stress, depressive symptoms, and satisfaction with body function and appearance. Secondary aims of the outcome evaluation were to (1) evaluate the impact of the programs on measures of functional fitness, (2) examine whether changes in self-reported physical activity and functional fitness were moderated by participant characteristics, including age, gender, race, baseline physical activity self-efficacy, and baseline physical activity social support, and (3) examine whether changes in self-reported physical activity were consistent with a mediation model for physical activity self-efficacy and physical activity social support. The collection has 14 data files (datasets). Datasets 1-7 constitute the process evaluation data, and Datasets 8-14 the outcomes evaluation data: Dataset 1 (AC Initial Face-to-Face Sessions Data) contains information about the initial face-to-face AC session: the format, date, and length of the session, whether the 8 steps required in the face-to-face session were completed, what was discussed between the health educator and the participant related to physical activity plans, interests, benefits, and barriers, and the health educator's progress notes. The file contains one record for each AC participant. Dataset 2 (AC Completed Calls Data) comprises information about the completed AC calls, but does not cover the topics discussed on the calls. Recorded information about each call includes the date and length of the call, the health educator's progress notes, and whether the participant was assessed for injury, light activity, moderate activity, exercise goals, or exercise intentions. Each call is represented by a separate record in the data file and, typically, there are multiple records per participant. Dataset 3 (AC Topics Discussed on Completed Calls ) contains information about the topics discussed on each completed AC call, e.g., exercise barriers/benefits, previous exercise experiences, goal setting, long term goals, injury prevention, rewards/reinforcement, social support, progress tracking, and relapse prevention. Each record in the file represents one topic and there are often multiple records per call for each participant. Dataset 4 (AC Aggregate Call Data) aggregates the call data across calls for each AC participant. For example, for a given participant, this dataset shows the total number of calls completed, the number of calls where injury/health problems were assessed, etc. The file contains one record per participant. Dataset 5 (ALED Sessions Data) contains information about each class session for e

Includes accelerometer data using an ActiGraph to assess usual sedentary, moderate, vigorous, and very vigorous activity at baseline, 6 weeks, and 10 weeks. Includes relative reinforcing value (RRV) data showing how participants rated how much they would want to perform both physical and sedentary activities on a scale of 1-10 at baseline, week 6, and week 10. Includes data on the breakpoint, or Pmax of the RRV, which was the last schedule of reinforcement (i.e. 4, 8, 16, …) completed for the behavior (exercise or sedentary). For both Pmax and RRV score, greater scores indicated a greater reinforcing value, with scores exceeding 1.0 indicating increased exercise reinforcement. Includes questionnaire data regarding preference and tolerance for exercise intensity using the Preference for and Tolerance of Intensity of Exercise Questionnaire (PRETIEQ) and positive and negative outcome expectancy of exercise using the outcome expectancy scale (OES). Includes data on height, weight, and BMI. Includes demographic data such as gender and race/ethnicity. Resources in this dataset:Resource Title: Actigraph activity data.

Any skeletal muscle-driven motion that requires energy expenditure is considered physical exercise. Physical activity helps slow the incidence of chronic conditions like diabetes, cancer, stroke, and hypertension. Gym use are the most popular exercise has been noticed among everyone, not just young people. Unfortunately, all types of physical activity include the potential of injury.

This layer represents the Percent of Adults that did not participate in Physical Activity or Exercise calculated from the 2014-2017 Colorado Behavioral Risk Factor Surveillance System (County or Regional Estimates) data set. These data represent the estimated prevalence of leisure-time Physical Inactivity among adults (Age 18+) for each county in Colorado. Leisure-time Physical Inactivity is defined as not participating in any Physical Activity or Exercise outside of work-related duties within the past 30 days. Regional estimates were used if there was not enough sample size to calculate a single county estimate. The estimate for each county was derived from multiple years of Colorado Behavioral Risk Factor Surveillance System data (2014-2017).

Brief Summary: The Type 1 Diabetes Exercise Initiave (T1-DEXI) was an observational study of adults living with type 1 diabetes in the U.S., conducted remotely outside of clinics, designed to develop a better understanding of the effects of different levels of exercise intensity and duration on glycemic control during and after exercise across a wide range of patient characteristics. This dataset incorporates aggregated data around exercise events including pertinent diabetes management information (insulin and continuous glucose monitoring data), self-reported and objectively measured physical activity levels (Polar H10 sensor and Verily Study Watch), self-reported stress levels and life-event data such as the timing and composition of meals (Remote Food Photography Method). Genotyping, completed for a subset of participants, may help researchers understand how variations in DNA may be associated with exercise, diabetes, and glycemic response to exercise.

Originally, the dataset come from the CDC and is a major part of the Behavioral Risk Factor Surveillance System (BRFSS), which conducts annual telephone surveys to gather data on the health status of U.S. residents. As the CDC describes: "Established in 1984 with 15 states, BRFSS now collects data in all 50 states as well as the District of Columbia and three U.S. territories. BRFSS completes more than 400,000 adult interviews each year, making it the largest continuously conducted health survey system in the world.". The most recent dataset (as of February 15, 2022) includes data from 2020. It consists of 401,958 rows and 279 columns. The vast majority of columns are questions asked to respondents about their health status, such as "Do you have serious difficulty walking or climbing stairs?" or "Have you smoked at least 100 cigarettes in your entire life? [Note: 5 packs = 100 cigarettes]".

To improve the efficiency and relevance of our analysis, we removed certain attributes from the original BRFSS dataset. Many of the 279 original attributes included administrative codes, metadata, or survey-specific variables that do not contribute meaningfully to heart disease prediction—such as respondent IDs, timestamps, state-level identifiers, and detailed lifestyle questions unrelated to cardiovascular health. By focusing on a carefully selected subset of 18 attributes directly linked to medical, behavioral, and demographic factors known to influence heart health, we streamlined the dataset. This not only reduced computational complexity but also improved model interpretability and performance by eliminating noise and irrelevant information. All predicting variables could be divided into 4 broad categories:

1. Demographic factors: sex, age category (14 levels), race, BMI (Body Mass Index)

2. Diseases: weather respondent ever had such diseases as asthma, skin cancer, diabetes, stroke or kidney disease (not including kidney stones, bladder infection or incontinence)

3. Unhealthy habits:

   • Smoking - respondents that smoked at least 100 cigarettes in their entire life (5 packs = 100 cigarettes)
   • Alcohol Drinking - heavy drinkers (adult men having more than 14 drinks per week and adult women having more than 7 drinks per week

4. General Health:

   • Difficulty Walking - weather respondent have serious difficulty walking or climbing stairs
   • Physical Activity - adults who reported doing physical activity or exercise during the past 30 days other than their regular job
   • Sleep Time - respondent’s reported average hours of sleep in a 24-hour period
   • Physical Health - number of days being physically ill or injured (0-30 days)
   • Mental Health - number of days having bad mental health (0-30 days)
   • General Health - respondents declared their health as ’Excellent’, ’Very good’, ’Good’ ,’Fair’ or ’Poor’

Below is a description of the features collected for each patient:

However, those areas’ boundaries have been generalised in this dataset. It is recommended that you overlay the official District administrative boundaries from the Living Atlas on top of this data, to view the accurate boundary lines.

These data are from the 2013 California Dietary Practices Surveys (CDPS), 2012 California Teen Eating, Exercise and Nutrition Survey (CalTEENS), and 2013 California Children’s Healthy Eating and Exercise Practices Surveys (CalCHEEPS). These surveys have been discontinued. Adults, adolescents, and children (with parental assistance) were asked for their current height and weight, from which, body mass index (BMI) was calculated. For adults, a BMI of 30.0 and above is considered obese. For adolescents and children, obesity is defined as having a BMI at or above the 95th percentile, according to CDC growth charts.

The California Dietary Practices Surveys (CDPS), the California Teen Eating, Exercise and Nutrition Survey (CalTEENS), and the California Children’s Healthy Eating and Exercise Practices Surveys (CalCHEEPS) (now discontinued) were the most extensive dietary and physical activity assessments of adults 18 years and older, adolescents 12 to 17, and children 6 to 11, respectively, in the state of California. CDPS and CalCHEEPS were administered biennially in odd years up through 2013 and CalTEENS was administered biennially in even years through 2014. The surveys were designed to monitor dietary trends, especially fruit and vegetable consumption, among Californias for evaluating their progress toward meeting the Dietary Guidelines for Americans and the Healthy People 2020 Objectives. All three surveys were conducted via telephone. Adult and adolescent data were collected using a list of participating CalFresh households and random digit dial, and child data were collected using only the list of CalFresh households. Older children (9-11) were the primary respondents with some parental assistance. For younger children (6-8), the primary respondent was parents. Data were oversampled for low-income and African American to provide greater sensitivity for analyzing trends among the target population. Wording of the question used for these analyses varied by survey (age group). The questions were worded are as follows: Adult:1) How tall are you without shoes?2) How much do you weigh?Adolescent:1) About how much do you weigh without shoes?2) About how tall are you without shoes? Child:1) How tall is [child's name] now without shoes on?2) How much does [child's name] weigh now without shoes on?

This dataset provides estimates on the fraction, percentage, and number of adults ages 18+ who walk for transportation or leisure for at least 150 minutes in a week by zip code as well as an estimate of the population ages 18+ residing in that zip code.

Evaluate evidence for the effects of exercise on psychological health in adults diagnosed with cancer. Investigate the effects of different exercise frequencies, intensities, durations, and types on specific psychological health outcomes measuring depression, anxiety, mood, or quality of life. Six electronic databases searched from inception to May 2024. Randomised Control Trials (RCTs) evaluating effects of exercise on psychological health in adults diagnosed with cancer were included. A random-effects meta-analysis was completed to evaluate effect. Separate meta-analyses were conducted, with subgroups, to evalutate effect of exercise frequency, intensity, duration, and type. Eighty-one studies were included, yielding 205 individual effect sizes across various psychological health outcomes. Exercise interventions demonstrated small to moderate positive effects on psychological health outcomes (combined effect size: d = 0.32, 95%CI 0.22; 0.42). Subgroup analysis revealed positive effects across specific outcomes (depression, anxiety, mood, quality of life). Notably, effect sizes varied between specific outcome measures and exercise variable subgroups. To achieve optimal positive outcomes for psychological health, exercise dosages should consider psychological symptom profile alongside patient characteristics and physical capacity. This meta-analysis provides robust evidence to support the effectiveness of various exercises dosages targeting specific psychological health conditions and symptoms among individuals diagnosed with cancer.
