Defining Accelerometer Thresholds for Activity Intensities in Adolescent Girls

Abstract

To derive a regression equation that estimates metabolic equivalent (MET) from accelerometer counts, and to define thresholds of accelerometer counts that can be used to delineate sedentary, light, moderate, and vigorous activity in adolescent girls.
