Comparison of physical activity and sedentary time measured with the ActiGraph GT3X-BT and Actical accelerometers

The results of the present study provide data users and researchers with an indication of the expected differences between the devices across various movement behaviour outcomes in the context of the CHMS. Results suggest that comparisons between cycles 1 to 6 and Cycle 7 onward of the CHMS for MVPA are acceptable, but they should be carried out with caution. Comparisons of SED, LPA, vigorous PA, and step counts are not recommended.

Abstract

The results of the present study provide data users and researchers with an indication of the expected differences between the devices across various movement behaviour outcomes in the context of the CHMS. Results suggest that comparisons between cycles 1 to 6 and Cycle 7 onward of the CHMS for MVPA are acceptable, but they should be carried out with caution. Comparisons of SED, LPA, vigorous PA, and step counts are not recommended.
