Walking objectively measured: classifying accelerometer data with GPS and travel diaries.
PURPOSE This study developed and tested an algorithm to classify accelerometer data as walking or nonwalking using either GPS or travel diary data within a large sample of adults under free-living conditions. METHODS Participants wore an accelerometer and a GPS unit and concurrently completed a travel diary for seven consecutive days. Physical activity (PA) bouts were identified using acceler...
متن کاملAssociations between active commuting to school and objectively measured physical activity.
BACKGROUND To provide more accurate assessment of commuting behavior and potential health effect, it is important to have accurate methods. Therefore, the current study aimed to a) compare questionnaire reported mode of commuting with objectively measured data from accelerometer and cycle computer, b) compare moderate vigorous physical activity (MVPA) among children cycling vs. walking to schoo...
متن کاملObjectively measured active transportation to school and other destinations among 10–13 year olds
BACKGROUND Descriptive data on active transportation in children focuses on the trip to school and has relied on subjective reports. The purpose of this study was to use objective measures to describe total active transportation and active transportation to common destinations within children. METHODS This was a descriptive study of 388 children aged 10-13 years from Kingston, Ontario, Canada...
متن کاملOptimal environmental policy in the presence of ecological thresholds
We study the environmental and economic effects of public abatement in the presence of multiple stable steady-state ecological equilibria. The isocline for the stock of pollution features two stable branches, a good and a bad one. Assuming that the ecology is initially located on the upper (bad) branch of the isocline, the ecological equilibrium is hysteretic and a suitably designed temporary a...
متن کاملFactors related to objectively measured physical activity in preschool children.
This study examined correlates of objectively measured physical activity (PA) in a diverse sample of preschool children (age 3-5 years; n = 331). Accelerometer min x hr-1 of moderate-to-vigorous physical activity (MVPA) and nonsedentary activity (NSA) were the outcome measures. Correlations among potential correlates and PA ranged from r= -0.12-0.26. Correlates in the final MVPA model were age,...
