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...

Background: During the last century, the technological revolution has contributed to changes in physical behaviour in the workplace. The number of moderate physical activity intensity occupations has decreased significantly over this period, and the...
