Background Cadence (steps/min) may be a reasonable proxy-indicator of ambulatory
intensity. A summary of current evidence is needed for cadence-based metrics supporting …

Step counting has long been used as a method of measuring distance. Starting in the mid-
1900s, researchers became interested in using steps per day to quantify ambulatory …

Background Although 10 000 steps per day is widely promoted to have health benefits, there
is little evidence to support this recommendation. We aimed to determine the association …

Importance It is unclear whether the number of steps per day and the intensity of stepping
are associated with lower mortality. Objective Describe the dose-response relationship …

Importance Steps per day is a meaningful metric for physical activity promotion in clinical
and population settings. To guide promotion strategies of step goals, it is important to …

In this paper, we perform a systematic study about the on-body sensor positioning and data
acquisition details for Human Activity Recognition (HAR) systems. We build a testbed that …

The activPAL™(AP) monitor is well established for distinguishing sitting, standing and
stepping time. However, its validity in predicting time in physical activity intensity categories …

Background There is some evidence to suggest that dog ownership may improve physical
activity (PA) among older adults, but to date, studies examining this, have either depended …

Background Wearable sensors offer the potential to bring new knowledge to inform
interventions in patients affected by multiple sclerosis (MS) by thoroughly quantifying gait …

Background Older cancer survivors are at risk of the development or worsening of both age-
and treatment-related morbidity. Sedentary behavior increases the risk of or exacerbates …
