Comparative Study
Comparability and feasibility of wrist- and hip-worn accelerometers in free-living adolescents.
To determine the comparability and feasibility of wrist- and hip-worn accelerometers among free-living adolescents. ⋯ Our findings reveal there is a strong linear relationship between wrist- and hip-worn accelerometer out-put among adolescents in free-living conditions. Adolescent compliance was significantly higher with wrist placement, with participants reporting that it was more comfortable and less embarrassing to wear on the wrist.
