Beyond Cut-points: Accelerometer Metrics that Capture the Physical Activity Profile.

Author
Abstract
:

Commonly used physical activity metrics tell us little about the intensity distribution across the activity profile. The purpose of this paper is to introduce a metric, the intensity gradient, which can be used in combination with average acceleration (overall activity level) to fully describe the activity profile.
