Objective measurement of physical activity and sedentary behaviour: review with new data
John J. Reilly,Victoria Penpraze,Jane Hislop,Gwyneth Davies,Stanley Grant,James Y. Paton,James Y. Paton +6 more
TL;DR: This review addresses the advantages of objective measurement compared with more traditional subjective methods, notably the avoidance of bias, greater confidence in the amount of activity and sedentary behaviour measured, and improved ability to relate variation in physical activity and Sedentary behaviour to variation in health outcomes.
Journal ArticleDOI
Monitoring of physical activity in young children: How much is enough?
John J. Reilly,Victoria Penpraze,Christina MacLean,Colette Montgomery,Louise A. Kelly,James Y. Paton,Tom Aitchison,Stan Grant +7 more
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors measured 76 children (40 M and 36 F, mean age 5.6 years [SD ± 0.4]) on 7 days using Actigraph accelerometers.
Journal ArticleDOI
An open study of the effectiveness of a multi-component weight-loss intervention for adults with intellectual disabilities and obesity.
Craig Melville,S. Boyle,S. Miller,Susan Macmillan,Victoria Penpraze,Carol Pert,D. Spanos,Lynsay Matthews,Nicola Robinson,Heather Murray,Catherine Hankey +10 more
TL;DR: TAKE 5 is an effective weight-loss intervention for adults with intellectual disabilities and obesity, and its effectiveness should be examined further in a controlled study.
Journal ArticleDOI
Validity, practical utility and reliability of Actigraph accelerometry for the measurement of habitual physical activity in dogs
Philippa S. Yam,Victoria Penpraze,David Young,M. Todd,A.D. Cloney,K.A. Houston-Callaghan,John J. Reilly +6 more
TL;DR: The GT3-X accelerometer is valid, practical and reliable for the measurement of habitual physical activity in dogs and dog owners reported that accelerometry was well tolerated.
Journal ArticleDOI
Agreement of accelerometer and a physical activity questionnaire in adults with intellectual disabilities.
Lynsay Matthews,Catherine Hankey,Victoria Penpraze,S. Boyle,Susan Macmillan,S. Miller,Heather Murray,Carol Pert,D. Spanos,Nicola Robinson,Craig Melville +10 more
