A technique to record the sedentary to walk movement during free living mobility : a comparison of healthy and stroke populations (2016)
Journal Article

Background


Hesitation between moving from a sedentary posture (lying/sitting) to walking is a characteristic of
mobility impaired individuals, as identified from laboratory studies. Knowing the extent to which this
hesitation occurs during ev... Read More about A technique to record the sedentary to walk movement during free living mobility : a comparison of healthy and stroke populations.

Attending a workplace : its contribution to volume and intensity of physical activity (2016)
Journal Article

Understanding the contribution that attending a workplace has in accumulating physical activity (PA) may help inform strategies used to increase PA. This study explores the influence that attending work has on the total number of steps taken and the...

Empirically derived cut-points for sedentary behaviour: are we sitting differently? (2016)
Journal Article

Sedentary behaviour (SB) is associated with a number of adverse health outcomes. Studies that have used ActiGraph monitors to define sedentary time tend to use a threshold of  <100 counts per minute (cpm) for classifying SB; however, this cut-point w...

Differentiating sitting and lying using a thigh-worn accelerometer (2016)
Journal Article
Lyden, K., John, D., Dall, P., & Granat, M. (2016). Differentiating sitting and lying using a thigh-worn accelerometer. Medicine and Science in Sports and Exercise, 48(4), 742-747. https://doi.org/10.1249/MSS.0000000000000804

A tri-axial accelerometer worn on the thigh can provide information on the angle of rotation of the thigh. These data may be used to estimate periods of lying versus sitting. Purpose: To
develop and test a classification algorithm to identify sedent... Read More about Differentiating sitting and lying using a thigh-worn accelerometer.
