Number of Days Required to Estimate Habitual Activity Using Wrist-Worn GENEActiv Accelerometer: A Cross-Sectional Study
Dillon, 2016
Cut-points for classifying physical activity intensity from signal magnitude vector generated for adults wearing GENEActiv monitors on each wrist. Sensitivity and specificity ranged from 67.9 to 97.1% and 67.9 to 97.0%, respectively.
Sample: 56 adults, 18-65 y of age
Setting: NR
Activities: Activities of daily living, stationary, walking/running
Criterion: Cosmed K4b2 (VO2)
Accelerometer(s): GENEActiv on each wrist
Validation approach: Comparison to criterion
SVM is calculated using the equation below as the square root of the sum of the squared acceleration in each axis, minus gravity, summed over the 15-sec epoch. However, as noted in the R package GGIR, both sets of cut-points would be sensitive to sampling rate (30 and 100 Hz in the original study), so they provide a scaled version which can be applied to any raw acceleration data.
