Description

Thresholds for activity intensity are presented in a small sample of participants.

Development/Validation

Sample: 3 participants

Setting: Laboratory

Activities: Stationary, walking and running

Criterion: Activity type

Accelerometer(s): ADXL345 on shoulder

Validation approach: Comparison to criterion

Phase Designation

(What's this?)

This model is in Phase 0.

Instructions

Acceleration (g) in each axis is summated after every 10 values and then a cumulative sum is calculated for all three axes. Used thresholds to differentiate inactivity (<2 g), underactivity (>2 but <4 g), overactivity (>4 but <8 g), and hyperactivity (>8 g).
