Validity Of Accelerometer-derived Estimates Of Sedentary Behaviour

To determine the concurrent validity of the ActiGraph GT3X+ inclinometer and different counts per minute (cpm) cut points for detecting sedentary behaviour in free-living adults. 52 participants (54% male, age = 26.3 + or - 6.2 years) wore an activPAL3 inclinometer (the criterion) and an ActiGraph G...

Description
Summary:To determine the concurrent validity of the ActiGraph GT3X+ inclinometer and different counts per minute (cpm) cut points for detecting sedentary behaviour in free-living adults. 52 participants (54% male, age = 26.3 + or - 6.2 years) wore an activPAL3 inclinometer (the criterion) and an ActiGraph GT3X+ accelerometer whilst continuing with their normal routine for 1 day. The activPAL3 was attached to the right thigh, whilst the ActiGraph was positioned on the right hip using an elastic belt. Accelerometerdetermined sedentary time was calculated using the inclinometer function of the ActiGraph, and by multiple cut points (
