Are Self-report Measures Able to Define Individuals as Physically Active or Inactive?

TL;DR: The modest agreement between self-reported and objectively measured PA suggests that population levels of PA derived from self-report should be interpreted cautiously and implementation of objective measures in large-scale cohort studies and surveillance systems is recommended.
Journal ArticleDOI

International Children's Accelerometry Database (ICAD): design and methods

TL;DR: Pooling raw accelerometer data and accompanying phenotypic data from a number of studies has the potential to create a more heterogeneous and potentially more representative sample, standardize and optimize the analytical methods used in the generation of outcome variables, and provide a means to study the causes of inter-study variability in physical activity.
Journal ArticleDOI

Variations in accelerometry measured physical activity and sedentary time across Europe - harmonized analyses of 47,497 children and adolescents

Jostein Steene-Johannessen, +50 more
TL;DR: The findings should encourage policymakers, governments, and local and national stakeholders to take action to facilitate an increase in the physical activity levels of young people across Europe.
Journal ArticleDOI

Determinants of diet and physical activity (DEDIPAC): a summary of findings.

TL;DR: An overview of what was achieved in terms of furthering measurement and monitoring is given, providing overviews of the state-of-the-art in the field, and building toolboxes for further research and practice is proposed.
