Abstract
The Biotrainer and Actitrac activity monitors (IM Systems) offer potential research advantages over existing accelerometry-based activity monitors, but they have not been tested under controlled conditions. The purpose of this study was to develop and test laboratory-based prediction equations for both monitors to estimate energy expenditure (EE) for walking/running movements.Keywords
