Abstract
To examine agreement among three activity monitors for assessment of moderate and vigorous physical activity. Participants (N = 39) wore three activity monitors for 48 hours. The monitors included the ActiGraph GT1M accelerometer, the three-dimensional GT3X+ accelerometer, both worn at the hip, and the ankle-worn StepWatch activity monitor. Moderate-to-vigorous physical activity (MVPA) was calculated for the ActiGraph monitors using previously published cut points. MVPA was calculated from the StepWatch steps per minute output based upon previously published moderate intensity cut points relative to height. The GT3X+ produced significantly (p < .05) more daily minutes of MVPA (69.5 + or - 42.9 min) than the GT1M (47.8 + or - 35.8 min; ES = 0.55; r = .70) and StepWatch (48.4 + or - 32.6 min; ES = 0.56; r = .75). The difference in mean daily minutes of MVPA between the GT1M and StepWatch was not significant (p = .89; ES = 0.02; r = .58).
