Using Fitness Trackers and Smartwatches to Measure Physical Activity in Research: Analysis of Consumer Wrist-Worn Wearables (2018, background): “Although cheap and energy efficient, pedometers are not as accurate as accelerometers, which is the current standard for collecting PA data [11].”
Objectively measured physical activity and sedentary time in youth: the International children’s accelerometry database (ICAD) (2015, background): “When worn on the waist, as in the studies comprising the ICAD, they poorly record upper body physical activity and physical activity when cycling [34].”
Calibration of two objective measures of physical activity for children (2008, background): “However, the limiting battery life should be overcome with newer versions of these monitors, such as the Actigraph GT1M (Corder et al., 2007b).”
