The study was designed to profile the seasonal everyday physical activity (PA) of the young people diagnosed with different hearing impairments. IPAQ was used to survey 40 people of 25.9±2.97 years of age with different degrees of the auditory function deficits. One study group was composed of hearing-impaired men (HIM, n=11) and women (HIW, n=9), and the other group of deaf men (DM, n=11) and women (DW, n=9) with the relevant diagnoses. The subjects were requested to fill-in the Russian version of IPAQ in autumn 2015 and spring 2016. The study found the deaf and hearing-impaired subjects being more active (less sitting) in the spring time versus the autumn time (F(1.78)=3.6864, p=0.052). The physical activity energy costs for the deaf subjects were found lower in spring versus autumn: 2641 (2564; 4717) versus 2449 (2082; 3268) МЕТ/min per week for the physical activity in metabolic equivalent (p<0.05). The share of low-active deaf subjects sitting for 6-9 hours per day was found to grow in the spring time from 10% to 15% whilst the hearing-impaired people were found to be modestly active for the whole year. However, the study found among the latter a subgroup of low-active individual sitting for 6-9 hours per day and, therefore, being in need of the sitting behaviour correction initiatives like the ones applied to deaf people.

Keywords: physical activity, motor activity, hearing impairment, IPAQ form, 20-30 years-old adults.
