Calibration of two objective measures of physical activity for children (2008, result): “Although we were unable to do this, we are reassured that other similar calibration studies of children did not alter their findings based on their cross validation results (Pate et al., 2006; Pfeiffer et al., 2006; Reilly et al., 2003; Sirard et al., 2005).”
Effects of Integrated Physical Exercises and Gestures on Preschool Children’s Foreign Language Vocabulary Learning (2015, methodology): “Age-appropriate cut-points (Pate et al. 2006) that have been shown to be the most accurate in young children (Janssen et al. 2013) were used to define activity intensity.”
Motor Skill Performance and Physical Activity in Preschool Children (2008, neutral): “5 counts/15 s), light (38–419 counts/15 s), MVPA (≥420 counts/15 s) or vigorous PA (VPA) (≥842 counts/15 s) (20).”
Accelerometer Data Collection and Processing Criteria to Assess Physical Activity and Other Outcomes: A Systematic Review and Practical Considerations (2017, neutral): “[67] cutpoints are the best option for MVPA (all of them were”
