The ability to assess energy expenditure (EE) and estimate physical activity (PA) in free-
living individuals is extremely important in the global context of non-communicable diseases …

Despite much progress with physical activity assessment, the limitations concerning the
accurate measurement of physical activity are often amplified in young people due to the …

We have recently developed a simple algorithm for the classification of household and
locomotive activities using the ratio of unfiltered to filtered synthetic acceleration (gravity …

Background: Popular beliefs that breakfast is the most important meal of the day are
grounded in cross-sectional observations that link breakfast to health, the causal nature of …

The objective of this study was to develop count cut-points for three different accelerometer
models: ActiGraph GT3X, RT3 and Actical to accurately classify physical activity intensity …

Little research documents the contribution of upper limb and total body movement to energy
expenditure (EE) during active video gaming. To address this, EE, heart rate (HR), and …

Background The minimum intensity of physical activity (PA) that is associated with
favourable body composition and cardiorespiratory fitness (CRF) remains unknown …

OBJECTIVES: To investigate the association between objectively measured maternal and
preschool-aged children's physical activity, determine how this association differs by …

Background Few studies have quantified levels of habitual physical activity across the entire
intensity range. We aimed to describe variability in total and intensity-specific physical …

Background Accelerometers can provide accurate estimates of moderate-to-vigorous
physical activity (MVPA). However, one of the limitations of these instruments is the inability …
