Aerobic Capacity Determines Habitual Walking Acceleration, Not Electromyography-Indicated Relative Effort

Arto J. Pesola, Timo Rantalainen, Ying Gao, and Taija Finni

those with a higher aerobic fitness level would be more likely to reach the World Health Organization physical activity targets with their habitual walking. One little studied potential determinant of free-living walking intensity is lower-extremity strength. Lower-extremity muscle strength is

Step-Counting Validity of Wrist-Worn Activity Monitors During Activities With Fixed Upper Extremities

Rebekah Lynn, Rebekah Pfitzer, Rebecca R. Rogers, Christopher G. Ballmann, Tyler D. Williams, and Mallory R. Marshall

. Data Analysis All data is reported as M ( SD ). Percentage error was calculated for all devices using the formula [(device steps-actual steps)/actual steps] × 100. Actual steps represent the steps counted by the experimenter from GoPro footage of the participants’ lower extremity and device steps

Simultaneous Validation of Count-to-Activity Thresholds for Five Commonly Used Activity Monitors in Adolescent Research: A Step Toward Data Harmonization

Gráinne Hayes, Kieran Dowd, Ciaran MacDonncha, and Alan Donnely

this respect, accelerometers attached to the wrist or upper body may not have the sensitivity to detect or accurately account for activities that are lower-extremity dominant. Notwithstanding this, the excellent sensitivity and specificity values reported for the 3 MET intensity band highlight that the

Where to Place Which Sensor to Measure Sedentary Behavior? A Method Development and Comparison Among Various Sensor Placements and Signal Types

Roman P. Kuster, Daniel Baumgartner, Maria Hagströmer, and Wilhelmus J.A. Grooten

and shank accelerometers solved this classification significantly best, even when adding the gyroscope and/or magnetometer data to the other placements. This result demonstrates that posture is best measured with a sensor worn on the lower extremity, while the accelerometers attached to the upper

Evaluation of Within- and Between-Site Agreement for Direct Observation of Physical Behavior Across Four Research Groups
