The researchers whose trusted networks rank it highest, strongest advocate first. Every researcher gets a different order.

Activity identification using body-mounted sensors—a review of classification techniques (2009, background): “Future work in activity monitoring may therefore benefit from the use of a standard predefined set of activities and sensor placements (Ward et al 2005).”
The Evolving Definition of "Sedentary" (2008, background): “More calibration research is needed to determine the best definition of cut points for sedentary behavior with accelerometry, among both youth and adults (11).”
Capacity of Mass Participant Sport Events for the Development of Activity Commitment and Future Exercise Intention (2011, methodology): “Future research should also utilize more objective measurement of actual physical activity behaviors such as accelerometers ( Ward, Evenson, Vaughn, Rodgers, & Troiano, 2005 ).”
Accelerometry: a technique for quantifying movement patterns during walking. (2008, background): “However, international congresses dedicated to objective physical activity monitoring have made efforts to develop best practices for future research [9].”
