Accelerometer Monitoring Duration for Reliable Estimates of Physical Activity, Sedentary Behavior, and Step Counts in Preschoolers
The study provides evidence-based recommendations on the monitoring duration required for reliable estimates of physical activity, sedentary behavior, step counts, and sleep duration in preschoolers using accelerometers. These findings are crucial for researchers and practitioners aiming to accurately assess and promote physical activity in early childhood.
