Adherence
Accelerometers provide objective, feasible measurements of physical activity and sedentary behavior in large-scale epidemiological studies, overcoming the limitations of self-report.
For researchers, accelerometers are a viable tool for collecting objective physical activity data in large cohorts. For individuals, wearing these devices can provide accurate insights into their daily movement patterns.
GoodSupportsHIGH confidence
Recent technological advances in assessment methods have made the use of movement sensors, such as the accelerometer, feasible for use in longitudinal, large-scale epidemiological studies.
Why this rating
The paper provides a detailed case study of the Women's Health Study using accelerometers, demonstrating feasibility.
