A Stand-Alone Accelerometer System for Free-Living Individuals to Measure and Promote Physical Activity
Open accessAbstract
Background.: Physical activity is important for multiple aspects of health, for example, cancer prevention, metabolic disease treatment, cardiovascular health, and obesity management. Despite the improved capability of measuring physical activity in the research arena, the options are scarce and less reliable for measurements in free-living people. In this article, the authors tested the validity of a robust stand-alone patient-operated Accelerometer System that can measure physical activity and sedentariness in active people. Methods.: Thirty subjects wore the Accelerometer System along with the validated physical activity monitoring system (PAMS) with different body postures and during graded walking at 7 velocities. Energy expenditure was measured using indirect calorimetry. Results.: In all the 30 subjects, the Accelerometer System distinguished sedentary and walking activity reliably even with ½ mph increments in walking and was accurate and precise compared with PAMS, with an intraclass correlation coefficient ( r 2 > .98). The Accelerometer System showed excellent sequential increases with increase in walking velocity and energy expenditure ( r 2 > .9). Conclusion.: A stand-alone Accelerometer System was accurate and reliable in measuring and quantifying physical activity in the laboratory setting.

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.
