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 …

Activity Monitors: Current and Future. Med. Sci. Sports Exerc., Vol. 37, No. 11 (Suppl), pp …

The aims of this study were: to compare energy expenditure (EE) estimated from the existing
GT3X accelerometer equations and EE measured with indirect calorimetry; to define new …

Accelerometry offers a practical and low cost method of objectively monitoring human
movements, and has particular applicability to the monitoring of free-living subjects …

Human movement has been the subject of investigation since the fifth century when early
scientists and researchers attempted to model the human musculoskeletal system. The …

Purpose This study was undertaken to examine the validity of accelerometry in assessing
moderate intensity physical activity in the field and to evaluate the metabolic cost of various …

The assessment of physical activity in healthy populations and in those with chronic
diseases is challenging. The aim of this systematic review was to identify whether available …

Assessing the total energy expenditure (TEE) and the levels of physical activity in free-living
conditions with non-invasive techniques remains a challenge. The purpose of the present …

Despite widespread use of accelerometers to objectively monitor physical activity among
adults and youth, little attention has been given to older populations. The purpose of this …

Background Due to physiological and cognitive changes that occur with aging, accurate
physical activity (PA) measurement in older adults represents a unique challenge. The …
