Abstract

13 volunteers walked on a treadmill at 6 different speeds while wearing different accelerometers on different body positions, a spirometry unit and heart rate devices. The goal of this experiment was to find which position on a person's body and which of the sensors is best to measure physical activity (PA) in people by means of an accelerometer.
