Journal ArticleDOI
Calibration of the computer science and applications, inc. (csa) accelerometer 256
Patty S. Freedson,John R. Sirard,E. Debold,Russell R. Pate,Marsha Dowda,Stewart G. Trost,James F. Sallis +6 more
TL;DR: A new device that may be used for such purposes is the CSA accelerometer (model #7164), which allows the user to examine patterns in physical activity as well as total activity.
Journal ArticleDOI
Accelerometer output and MET values of common physical activities.
TL;DR: This study provides valuable information about data collection, metabolic responses, and accelerometer output for common physical activities in a diverse participant sample, and linear regression models are inappropriate for accurately predicting METs from accelerometers output.
Journal ArticleDOI
Body mass index, but not physical activity, is associated with C-reactive protein.
Eric S. Rawson,Patty S. Freedson,Stavroula K. Osganian,Charles E. Matthews,George W. Reed,Ira S. Ockene +5 more
TL;DR: BMI, but not previous-year or current physical activity, predicts hs-CRP, according to longitudinally examining the effects of BMI and both current and previous- year physical activity in healthy men and women.
Journal ArticleDOI
Relationship Between Habitual Physical Activity and Aerobic Fitness in Adolescents
TL;DR: Dose-response data are lacking, which makes it difficult to offer definitive conclusions concerning the amount of physical activity necessary to elicit change in aerobic capacity, but recommendations about the type, amount, and quality ofPhysical activity for adolescents are presented.
Journal ArticleDOI
Field evaluation of the Computer Science and Applications, Inc. physical activity monitor.
TL;DR: The CSA monitor may be useful in a field situation where total physical activity and patterns of physical activity are the desired outcomes and the results suggest that the CSA overestimated light activity and underestimated vigorous activity compared with the diary.
