Comparing Hip, Wrist and Ankle‐Worn ActiGraph Accelerometers for Measuring Physical Activity in Toddlers
The strong correlation between hip and ankle activity counts suggests that the ankle could be a feasible sensor-wearing location. The moderate correlation between wrist and hip suggests that multiple accelerometers may be needed to enhance accuracy. Discrepancies across cut points indicate that more research is needed to validate cut points for accurately measuring physical activity in toddlers, especially considering individual differences in movement behaviours.
