Validation of Actical© Physical Activity Monitor
FUNDING SOURCE: Mini Mitter Respironics, Inc.
TIMELINE: 2005 -2007
PRINCIPAL INVESTIGATOR:Steven P. Hooker, PhD (USC PRC)
Data collected with an accelerometer is being compared to data
gathered via indirect calorimetry to create algorithms that can
be used in subsequent accelerometer studies. The results will allow
researchers to accurately calculate total and physical activity
energy expenditure in older white and African American adults.
