TL;DR: A real-time algorithm for automatic recognition of not only physical activities, but also, in some cases, their intensities, using five triaxial wireless accelerometers and a wireless heart rate monitor is presented.

TL;DR: This study demonstrates the ability of TTM-based tailored feedback to improve healthy eating, exercise, managing emotional distress, and weight on a population basis and produced a high level of population impact that future multiple behavior interventions can seek to surpass.

TL;DR: The most common criteria recommended by philosophers of science for evaluating theories were organised within a hierarchy ranging from the least to the most risky tests for theories of health behavior change as discussed by the authors, and the hierarchy progressed across: (1) Clarity; (2) Consistency; (3) Parsimony; (4) Testable; (5) Predictive power; (6) Explanatory Power; (7) Productivity; (8) Generalisable; (9) Integration; (10) Utility; (11) Efficacy; and (12) Impact).

TL;DR: Given their convenience, scalability, and ability to deliver tailored messages, automated telecommunications systems can promote self-management of diet and energy balance in urban African–Americans.

TL;DR: This study evaluated how well predictions from the transtheoretical model (TTM) generalized from smoking to diet and revised effect size estimates for future theory testing on the TTM applied to dietary fat.
