Active Transportation and Public Transportation Use to Achieve Physical Activity Recommendations? A Combined GPS, Accelerometer, and Mobility Survey Study
(BioMed Central, 2014)Background: Accurate information is lacking on the extent of transportation as a source of physical activity, on the physical activity gains from public transportation use, and on the extent to which population shifts in ... -
A Cross-sectional Description of Parental Perceptions and Practices Related to Risky Play and Independent Mobility in Children: The New Zealand State of Play Survey
(MDPI, 2019)The potential for risky play and independent mobility to increase children’s physical activity, and enhance cognitive development and emotional wellbeing has been recognised for some time. The aim of this study was to ... -
Accelerometer Data Reduction in Adolescents: Effects on Sample Retention and Bias
(BioMed Central, 2013)Background Accelerometry is increasingly being recognized as an accurate and reliable method to assess free-living physical activity (PA) in children and adolescents. However, accelerometer data reduction criteria remain ... -
Pedometer-determined Physical Activity and Active Transport in Girls
(BioMed Central, 2008)It is well established that the risk of insufficient physical activity is greater in girls than in boys, especially during the adolescent years. The promotion of active transport (AT) to and from school has been posited ... -
Dynamic Accuracy of GPS Receivers for Use in Health Research: A Novel Method to Assess GPS Accuracy in Real-world Settings
(Frontiers Media, 2014)The emergence of portable global positioning system (GPS) receivers over the last 10 years has provided researchers with a means to objectively assess spatial position in free-living conditions. However, the use of GPS in ... -
Are Children Participating in a Quasi-experimental Education Outside the Classroom Intervention More Physically Active?
