Journal ArticleDOI
Calibration of two objective measures of physical activity for children
TL;DR: It is suggested that the two accelerometers can be used to distinguish differing levels of physical activity intensity as well as inactivity among children 5 to 8 years of age.
Journal ArticleDOI
Determinants of Adolescent Physical Activity and Inactivity Patterns
TL;DR: Investigation of environmental and sociodemographic determinants of physical activity and inactivity patterns among subpopulations of US adolescents shows important associations between modifiable environmental factors, such as participation in school PE and community recreation programs, with activity patterns of adolescents.
Journal ArticleDOI
Defining Accelerometer Thresholds for Activity Intensities in Adolescent Girls
Margarita S. Treuth,Kathryn H. Schmitz,Diane J. Catellier,Robert G. McMurray,David M. Murray,M. Joao C A Almeida,Scott B. Going,James E. Norman,Russell R. Pate +8 more
TL;DR: The developed equation and these activity thresholds can be used for prediction of MET score from accelerometer counts and participation in various intensities of physical activity in adolescent girls.
Journal ArticleDOI
Adolescent physical activity and inactivity vary by ethnicity: The National Longitudinal Study of Adolescent Health ☆ ☆☆ ★
TL;DR: In this paper, the extent to which physical activity and inactivity patterns vary by ethnicity among subpopulations of US adolescents was determined by the National Longitudinal Study of Adolescent Health of >14,000 US adolescents.
Journal ArticleDOI
Energy costs of physical activities in children and adolescents.
Joanne S. Harrell,Robert G. McMurray,Christopher D. Baggett,Michael L. Pennell,Patricia F. Pearce,Shrikant I. Bangdiwala +5 more
TL;DR: Energy expenditure per kilogram of body mass at rest or during exercise is greater in children than adults and varies with pubertal status, thus using the definition of a MET in the compendium of physical activities without adjustment is inadequate for energy estimation in children.
