Utility of Accelerometers to Measure Physical Activity in Children Attending an Obesity Treatment Intervention
Objectives. To investigate the use of accelerometers to monitor change in physical activity in a childhood obesity treatment intervention. Methods. 28 children aged 7–13 taking part in “Families for Health” were asked to wear an accelerometer (Actigraph) for 7-days, and complete an accompanying acti...
