A Comparison of Two Motion Sensors for the Assessment of Free-Living Physical Activity of Adolescents

This study assessed and compared the daily step counts recorded by two different motion sensors in order to estimate the free-living physical activity of 135 adolescent girls. Each girl concurrently wore a Yamax pedometer and an ActiGraph accelerometer (criterion measure) every day for seven consecu...
