OBJECTIVE. In this study, we investigated the accuracy of measuring walking steps with commercially available pedometers and an accelerometer-based step-counter in normal and overweight children. Our primary hypothesis was that commercially available

The devastating impact of obesity on global health is without question and it is generally agreed that low levels of physical activity, particularly sitting (i.e., sedentariness), are important in its pathogenesis. Therefore, the measure of physical

We wanted to examine if spontaneous physical activity contributes to non-shivering thermogenesis. Ten lean, healthy male subjects wore a physical activity, micro-measurement system whilst the room temperature was randomly altered at two hourly interv

Purpose: The purpose of this study was to validate the combined use of inclinometers and accelerometers to measure body posture and movement in children in a laboratory setting. Methods: We performed two separate experiments. In the first experiment,

Background. Walking is a widely used approach to increase physical activity levels in obese patients. In this paper, we investigate the precision and accuracy of an ankle-worn dual-axis accelerometer (Stepwatch) and investigate its potential applicat

The Compendium of Physical Activities (CPA) provides the energy expenditure (EE) for hundreds of daily activities reported in metabolic equivalents (MET). It remains to be determined if the metabolic changes of pregnancy alter the use of the CPA MET

BACKGROUND In the present study we investigated the effect of television watching and the use of activity-promoting video games on energy expenditure in obese and lean children. METHODS Energy expenditure and physical activity were measured while par

Background Prenatal physical activity may improve maternal and infant health and lower future disease risk for both mother and baby; however, very few physical activity assessment methods have been validated for use during pregnancy. The purpose of t

To test the hypothesis that both children and adults would expend more calories and move more while playing activity-promoting video games compared with sedentary video games.In this single-group study, 22 healthy children (12 +/- 2 years; 11 male, 1
