TL;DR: This work proposes that journal editors adopt a consistent definition of the term sedentary and require that all manuscripts published within their journal adhere to this common terminology, and suggests that authors use the term “inactive” to describe those who are performing insufficient amounts of MVPA.
Journal ArticleDOI
The validity of consumer-level, activity monitors in healthy adults worn in free-living conditions: a cross-sectional study
TL;DR: In free-living conditions, the consumer-level activity monitors showed strong validity for the measurement of steps and sleep duration, and moderate valid for measurement of TDEE and MVPA.
Journal ArticleDOI
GGIR: A Research Community–Driven Open Source R Package for Generating Physical Activity and Sleep Outcomes From Multi-Day Raw Accelerometer Data
Jairo H. Migueles,Alex V. Rowlands,Florian Huber,Séverine Sabia,Séverine Sabia,Vincent T. van Hees +5 more
TL;DR: The GGIR package includes a range of literature-supported methods to clean the data and provide day-by-day, as well as full recording, weekly, weekend, and weekday estimates of physical activity and sleep parameters.
Journal ArticleDOI
Calibration of the GENEA accelerometer for assessment of physical activity intensity in children
TL;DR: The GENEA can be used to accurately assess children's physical activity intensity when worn at either the wrist or the hip and showed good criterion validity at both wrist locations.
Journal ArticleDOI
Calibration and validation of wearable monitors
TL;DR: This article is aimed primarily at the physical activity measurement specialist, although the end user who is conducting studies with these devices also may benefit from knowing about this topic.
