  • Self-reported questionnaires have been shown to be less robust in measuring energy expenditure and MVPA when compared with objective measures.

    “Although the use of these types of questionnaires is widely accepted, self-reported questionnaires have been shown to be less robust in measuring energy expenditure and MVPA when compared with objective measures [98,99].”

    From Consumer-based wearable activity trackers increase physical activity participation: systematic review and meta-analysis (2019) · cites this paper as [99]

    The Self-Report Questionnaires section (page not provided) says questionnaires are less robust for assessing energy expenditure and light or moderate activity, and notes inconsistent results when they are compared with doubly labeled water. It does not establish the same limitation for all moderate-to-vigorous physical activity (MVPA); it instead lists accuracy in measuring intense activity as an advantage. (LLM, conf=0.87)

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
