Research indicates that high levels of sedentary behavior (sitting or lying with low energy
expenditure) are adversely associated with health. A key factor in improving our …

Background Posture has been recently integrated into activity guidelines, advising people to
limit their sedentary time and break up sedentary postures with standing/stepping as much …

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 …

Hip‐worn accelerometers are widely used to estimate physical activity (PA), but the accuracy
of acceleration threshold‐based analysis is compromised when it comes to identifying …

The health benefits of physical activity (PA) have been widely recognized, yet traditional
measures of PA, including questionnaires and category-based assessments of volume and …

Accurate assessment of dietary intake and physical activity is a vital component for quality
research in public health, nutrition, and exercise science. However, accurate and consistent …

Purpose: This study compared sitting, standing, and stepping classifications from thigh-worn
ActiGraph and activPAL monitors under laboratory and free-living conditions. Methods …

Abstract Objectives Objectives: Human biologists are increasingly interested in measuring
and comparing physical activities in different societies. Sedentary behavior, which refers to …

Introduction: Access to raw acceleration data should facilitate comparisons between
accelerometer outputs regardless of monitor brand. Purpose: To evaluate the accuracy of …

The activPAL is a valid measure of step counts and posture, but its ability to determine
physical activity intensity is unclear. This study tested the criterion validity of the activPAL …
