Journal Article
Hurter, L., Cooper-Ryan, A., Knowles, Z., Porcellato, L., Fairclough, S., & Boddy, L. (2020). A novel mixed methods approach to assess children’s sedentary behaviours. Journal for the Measurement of Physical Behaviour, 3(1), 78-86. https://doi.org/10.1123/jmpb.2019-0040

Purpose: Accurately measuring sedentary behaviour (SB) in children is challenging by virtue of its complex nature. Whilst self-report questionnaires are susceptible to recall errors, accelerometer data lacks contextual information. This study aimed t...
