The effects of daily weather on accelerometer-measured physical activity.
BACKGROUND This study analyzes Chicago-area weather effects on objectively measured physical activity over a 3-year period among a cohort of 241 participants in an on-going arthritis physical activity trial. METHODS Uniaxial accelerometer counts and interview data were analyzed for up to 6 weekly study waves involving 4823 days of wear. The effects of temperature, rainfall, snowfall and dayli...
متن کاملThe validity of the non-exercise activity thermogenesis questionnaire evaluated by objectively measured daily physical activity by the triaxial accelerometer
BACKGROUND Physical inactivity is a major cardiovascular risk factor. Recently, we showed that non-exercise activity thermogenesis (NEAT) assessed by the self-reported questionnaire is favorably associated with metabolic risks in patients with type 2 diabetes. The purpose of the present study was to examine the validity of the questionnaire by comparing with objectively measured daily physical ...
متن کاملPhysical Activity in Hemodialysis Patients Measured by Triaxial Accelerometer
Different factors can contribute to a sedentary lifestyle among hemodialysis (HD) patients, including the period they spend on dialysis. The aim of this study was to evaluate characteristics of physical activities in daily life in this population by using an accurate triaxial accelerometer and to correlate these characteristics with physiological variables. Nineteen HD patients were evaluated u...
متن کاملComparison of activity levels measured by a wrist worn accelerometer and direct observation in young children
Introduction: Motion sensors are mechanical and electronic devices, which detect the body movement and provide an estimate of physical activity in children and adults. However, they need to be validated against criterion methods such as direct observation. The purpose of this study was to validate a wrist worn accelerometer to quantify the physical activity of children, by comparison to direct ...
متن کاملTracking of accelerometer-measured physical activity in early childhood.
Establishing and maintaining healthy physical activity (PA) levels is important throughout life. The purpose of this study was to determine the extent of PA tracking between ages 3 and 7 y. Objective measures of PA (RT3, triaxial accelerometer) were collected every 4 mo from ages 3-7; data from 234 children with PA measures available during each year of age were analyzed. Mean PA (total, modera...
