The links between increased participation in Physical Activity (PA) and improvements in
health are well established. As this body of evidence has grown, so too has the search for …

Physical activity guidelines from around the world are typically expressed in terms of
frequency, duration, and intensity parameters. Objective monitoring using pedometers and …

Background Accurate assessment is required to assess current and changing physical
activity levels, and to evaluate the effectiveness of interventions designed to increase activity …

In this work, algorithms are developed and evaluated to detect physical activities from data
acquired using five small biaxial accelerometers worn simultaneously on different parts of …

Pedometers are simple and inexpensive body-worn motion sensors that are readily being
used by researchers and practitioners to assess and motivate physical activity behaviours …

This article describes an investigation to determine the optimal placement of accelerometers
for the purpose of detecting a range of everyday activities. The paper investigates the effect …

Older adults and special populations (living with disability and/or chronic illness that may
limit mobility and/or physical endurance) can benefit from practicing a more physically active …

Background The number of days of pedometer or accelerometer data needed to reliably
assess physical activity (PA) is important for research that examines the relationship with …

T he health benefits of physical activity for adults have been well established (US
Department of Health and Human Services, 1996). Similar links with children are not as well …
