Young people's views on accelerometer use in physical activity research : findings from a user involvement investigation [PDF]

, 2012
The use of accelerometers to objectively measure physical activity is important in understanding young people's behaviours, as physical activity plays a key part in obesity prevention and treatment.

The feasibility of posture and movement detection by accelerometry [PDF]

, 1993
The discrimination of postures and movements using a minimal set of uniaxial accelerometers was investigated. Postures and movements were distinguished on the bitsis of the high-pm filtered, rectified and low pass filtered signal of one accelerometer ...

On the use of on-cow accelerometers for the classification of behaviours in dairy barns [PDF]

, 2019
Analysing behaviours can provide insight into the health and overall well-being of dairy cows. Automatic monitoring systems using e.g., accelerometers are becoming increasingly important to accurately quantify cows' behaviours as the herd size increases.

Physical Activity, Sedentary Time, and Cardiovascular Disease Biomarkers at Age 60 to 64 Years

Journal of the American Heart Association: Cardiovascular and Cerebrovascular Disease, 2018
Background We examined associations of objectively measured physical activity (PA) and sedentary time with cardiovascular disease biomarkers at age 60 to 64 years. This included investigation of sex differences and the extent to which associations may be
