Accelerometers are commonly used in clinical and epidemiological research for more
detailed measures of physical activity and to target the limitations of self‐report methods …

Numerous studies have demonstrated physical activity is a strong factor in overall health
and well-being, and a growing body of literature, reviewed herein, suggests that several eye …

Background: Self-reported and accelerometer-measured physical activity levels generally
exhibit low correlation and agreement. The objective of this study is to compare estimates of …

Getting enough sleep, exercising and limiting sedentary activities can greatly contribute to
disease prevention and overall health and longevity. Measuring the full 24-hour activity …

Purpose Imprecise measurement of physical activity variables might attenuate estimates of
the beneficial effects of activity on health-related outcomes. We aimed to compare the …

Purpose Assess the agreement between commonly used self-report methods compared with
objectively measured physical activity (PA) in defining the prevalence of individuals …

Methods We conducted a PubMed search of English-language articles published (or
indicated as forthcoming) from January 2007 through December 2011. Our initial search …

While there is a growing literature on the relations between neighborhood design and health
factors such as physical activity and obesity, less focus has been placed on older adults …

The use of accelerometers in physical activity (PA) research has increased exponentially
over the past 20 yr. The first commercially available accelerometer for assessing PA, the …

Purpose Whereas greater physical activity (PA) is known to prevent cardiovascular disease
(CVD), the relative importance of performing PA in sustained bouts of activity versus shorter …
