Using objective physical activity measures with youth: how many days of monitoring are needed? (2000, methodology): “These methods include subjective measures such as child and parent self-reports and objective measures such as direct observation, heart rate monitoring, motion sensors, and doubly-labeled water (2,11,17).”
Systematic review of the relationships between physical activity and health indicators in the early years (0-4 years) (2017, methodology): “Total energy expenditure measured by doubly labelled water or direct/indirect calorimetry was not considered an eligible exposure because it includes resting metabolic rate and the thermic effect of food in addition to activity energy expenditure [27]; however, activity energy expenditure measured b”
An assessment of self-reported physical activity instruments in young people for population surveillance: Project ALPHA (2011, neutral): “, [13-19]), plus the special issues on physical activity measurement in Medicine and Science in Sports and Exercise (1997, 29 (6) Supplement; 2000, 32 (2) Supplement) and Research Quarterly for Exercise and Sport (2000, 71 (2)).”
Validation and Calibration of an Accelerometer in Preschool Children (2006, background): “It is well known that young children are unable to self-report their physical activity accurately (13,14), and surrogate reports by parents and other adults have limited validity (15).”
Accelerometer Data Collection and Processing Criteria to Assess Physical Activity and Other Outcomes: A Systematic Review and Practical Considerations (2017, positive): “Accelerometry has several advantages over questionnaires and self-report methods [4, 10]; however, data collection and processing criteria have a large impact on the interpretation of the data.”
Assessment of physical activity in youth. (2008, background): “However, these methods are susceptible to additional problems because recall of children’s physical activity is difficult for adults (76).”
Calibration of two objective measures of physical activity for children (2008, methodology): “The methods currently available to measure physical activity in young children include observation, parental self-report and accelerometry (Sirard & Pate, 2001 ).”
