Inter-monitor reliability and validity of the fibion accelerometers in a laboratory-based study of functional activities
The Fibion accelerometers reliably measure energy expenditure and accurately classify activity type/intensity for nearly all functional activities, regardless of the thigh wear location or side of the body. However, interchanging pocket and thigh placements is not recommended. Similar studies in free-living settings are further warranted.
