Journal ArticleDOI
New techniques and issues in assessing walking behavior and its contexts.
Patty S. Freedson,Keith Brendley,Barbara E. Ainsworth,Harold W. Kohl,Eva Leslie,Neville Owen +5 more
TL;DR: The metabolic responses to walking is described by describing the economy of walking during different locomotion velocities and how self-report methods are used to quantify walking behavior in the surveillance systems that are now widely used to ascertain walking prevalence and temporal changes in different populations.
Journal ArticleDOI
Body size and shape: derivation of the “HAT” frame size model
TL;DR: A bivariate mathematical model termed the "HAT" model for defining body frame size is presented and it was observed that differences in body weight between frame size groups was primarily due to differences in lean body weight.
Proceedings ArticleDOI
Design of a wearable multi-sensor system for physical activity assessment
TL;DR: In this article, a wearable, multi-sensor integrated measurement system (IMS) for assessing physical activity is presented, which is more effective in recognizing activities of varying intensity than the traditional activity measurement devices that use accelerometers alone.
