Background
This study is part of the Trondheim Hip Fracture Trial, where we compared free-living physical behavior in daily life 4 and 12 months following hip surgery for patients managed with comprehensive geriatric care (CGC) in a geriatric ward...

Utilization & harmonization of adult accelerometry data : review & expert consensus (2015)
Journal Article
Wijndaele, K., Westgate, K., Stephens, S., Blair, S., Bull, F., Chastin, S., …Healy, G. (2015). Utilization & harmonization of adult accelerometry data : review & expert consensus. Medicine and Science in Sports and Exercise, 47(10), 2129-2139. https://doi.org/10.1249/MSS.0000000000000661

Purpose: To describe the scope of accelerometry data collected internationally in adults; and, to
obtain a consensus from measurement experts regarding the optimal strategies to harmonize
international accelerometry data. Methods: In March 2014 a c... Read More about Utilization & harmonization of adult accelerometry data : review & expert consensus.

Visualization of sedentary behavior using an event- based approach (2015)
Journal Article
based approach. Measurement in Physical Education and Exercise Science, 19(3), 148-157. https://doi.org/10.1080/1091367X.2015.1048342

Visualization is commonly used in the interpretation of physical behavior (PB) data, either in conjunction with or as precursor to formal analysis. Effective representations of the data can enable the identification of patterns of behavior, and how t... Read More about Visualization of sedentary behavior using an event- based approach.

Empirically derived cut-points for sedentary behaviour for weekdays and weekends : are we sitting differently? (2015)
Presentation / Conference
Clarke-Cornwell, A., Farragher, T., Cook, P., Dugdill, L., & Granat, M. (2015, June). Empirically derived cut-points for sedentary behaviour for weekdays and weekends : are we sitting differently?. Presented at International Conference on Ambulatory Monitoring of Physical Activity and Movement, Limerick, Ireland

Introduction: Sedentary behaviour (SB) is associated with many adverse health outcomes. Studies that have used accelerometers to define sedentary time usually adopt a <100 counts per minute (cpm) threshold for classifying SB; however, this cut-poi...

Quantifying the cadence of free-living walking using event-based analysis (2015)
Journal Article
Granat, M., Clarke, C., Holdsworth, R., Stansfield, B., & Dall, P. (2015). Quantifying the cadence of free-living walking using event-based analysis. Gait & Posture, 42(1), 85-90. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.gaitpost.2015.04.012

Purpose: Free-living walking occurs over a wide range of durations and intensities (cadence). Therefore,
its characterisation requires a full description of the distribution of duration and cadence of these
walking events. The aim was to use event-... Read More about Quantifying the cadence of free-living walking using event-based analysis.

The development and validation of an activity monitoring system for use in measurement of posture of childbearing women during first stage of labour (2015)
Journal Article
Hollins-Martin, C., Kenney, L., Pratt, T., & Granat, M. (2015). The development and validation of an activity monitoring system for use in measurement of posture of childbearing women during first stage of labour. Journal of Midwifery and Women's Health, 60(2), 182-186. https://doi.org/10.1111/jmwh.12230

Introduction: There is limited understanding of the type and extent of maternal postures that midwives should encourage or support during labor.
The aims of this study were to identify a set of postures and movements commonly seen during labor, to d... Read More about The development and validation of an activity monitoring system for use in measurement of posture of childbearing women during first stage of labour.

Quantification of outdoor mobility by use of accelerometer-measured physical behaviour (2015)
Journal Article

Hip fractures in older persons are associated with both low levels of daily physical activity and loss of outdoor mobility. The aim of this study was to investigate if accelerometer-based measures of physical behaviour can be used to determine if peo...

Seasonal variation in the distribution of daily stepping in 11-13 year old school children (2015)
Journal Article
McCrorie, P., Duncan, E., Granat, M., & Stansfield, B. (2015). Seasonal variation in the distribution of daily stepping in 11-13 year old school children. International journal of exercise science, 8(4), 358-371

Seasonality studies in adolescent’s physical activity(PA) tend to report total PA (e.g. steps/day) rather than more specific detail such as steps/hour. This study compared the detailed changes in PA between seasons. Thirty three adolescents (baseline...
