Journal ArticleDOI

Calibration and cross-validation of a wrist-worn Actigraph in young preschoolers.

Elin Johansson, +5 more
- 01 Feb 2015 - 
TL;DR: To calibrate the Actigraph GT3X+ accelerometer for wrist‐worn placement in young preschoolers by developing intensity thresholds for sedentary, low‐ and high‐intensity physical activity.
Journal ArticleDOI

Physical activity in children measured by accelerometry: stability over time.

Gisela Nyberg, +2 more
- 03 Feb 2008 - 
TL;DR: The results of this study suggest that physical activity levels are fairly stable in 6–10‐year‐old children.
Journal ArticleDOI

Differential effects of fatness, fitness and physical activity energy expenditure on whole-body, liver and fat insulin sensitivity

H. B. Holt, +9 more
- 30 May 2007 - 
TL;DR: Whether fitness and PAEE are associated with whole-body, liver and fat insulin sensitivity independently of body fat is determined and fatness explains most of the variance in whole- body insulin sensitivity.
Proceedings ArticleDOI

A method to compare new and traditional accelerometry data in physical activity monitoring

Vincent T. van Hees, +4 more
TL;DR: A method is developed that facilitates the compatibility between both methods through conversion of raw accelerometer output data collected with inertial acceleration sensors into Actigraph counts — the most widely used (de facto standard) device brand in epidemiological studies.
Journal ArticleDOI

Preventing childhood obesity, phase II feasibility study focusing on South Asians: BEACHeS.

Peymane Adab, +11 more
- 10 Apr 2014 - 
TL;DR: The favourable direction of outcome for weight status in the intervention group supports the need for a definitive trial, and the feasibility study informed components for an intervention programme.
