Assessing physical activity using wearable monitors: measures of physical activity.
BACKGROUND Physical activity may be defined broadly as "all bodily actions produced by the contraction of skeletal muscle that increase energy expenditure above basal level." Physical activity is a complex construct that can be classified into major categories qualitatively, quantitatively, or contextually. The quantitative assessment of physical activity using wearable monitors is grounded in ...
متن کاملAssessing the Effects of Weather Conditions on Physical Activity Participation Using Objective Measures
Habitual physical activity is an important determinant of health, yet many people are considered to be inactive. Identification of the obstacles to greater participation is necessary for the development of strategies to overcome those obstacles. The weather has been identified as a perceived barrier to participation in physical activity, but exactly which adverse weather conditions are most imp...
متن کاملAssessing secondhand smoke exposure with reported measures
Non-smokers are exposed to tobacco smoke from the burning cigarette and the exhaled smoke from smokers. In spite of decades of development of approaches to assess secondhand smoke exposure (SHSe), there are still unresolved methodological issues. This manuscript summarises the scientific evidence on the use of SHSe reported measures and their methods, objectives, strengths and limitations; and ...
متن کاملMoving from Trip-Based to Activity-Based Measures of Accessibility
This paper studies the properties and performance of a new measure of accessibility, called the Activity-Based Accessibility (ABA) measure, and compares it to traditional measures of accessibility, including isochrone, gravity and utility-based measures. The novel aspect of the ABA is that it measures accessibility to all activities in which an individual engages and incorporates constraints su...
متن کاملCardiac-Activity Measures for Assessing Airport Ramp-Tower Controller’s Workload
Heart rate (HR) and heart rate variability (HRV) potentially offer objective, continuous, and nonintrusive measures of human-operator’s mental workload. Such measurement capability is attractive for workload assessment in complex laboratory simulations or safety-critical field testing. The present study compares mean HR and HRV data with self-reported subjective workload ratings collected durin...
