Abstract

INTRODUCTION: Accurately monitoring 24-h movement behaviors is a vital step for progressing the time-use epidemiology field. Past accelerometer-based measurement protocols are either hindered by lack of wear time compliance, or the inability to accurately discern activities and postures. Recent work has indicated that skin-attached dual-accelerometers exhibit excellent 24-h uninterrupted wear time compliance. This study extends this work by validating this system for classifying various physical activities and sedentary behaviors in children and adults.
