Evolution of Public Health Physical Activity Applications of Accelerometers: A Personal Perspective

Richard P. Troiano

application of devices to public health. Challenges where collaboration is needed include the ability to pool data for enhanced metric and algorithm development and testing, which requires accepted common terminology, protocol harmonization, and perhaps even standards development. Ideally for public health

Context Matters: The Importance of Physical Activity Domains for Public Health

Tyler D. Quinn and Bethany Barone Gibbs

, there were limited data to support or refute this contention. While these widely applicable and domain-agnostic guidelines have considerable public health value in promoting physical activity at the population level, recent research challenges the assumption of equivalent health impacts across all

Maximizing the Utility and Comparability of Accelerometer Data From Large-Scale Epidemiologic Studies

I-Min Lee, Christopher C. Moore, and Kelly R. Evenson

emanate from studies that were initiated years ago, employing devices which are now dated ( Evenson et al., in press ). What are some implications of using dated device data, and how can their usefulness be maximized for informing future public health guidelines? In this paper, we provide reasons for why
