Accuracy of Accelerometer-based Activity Energy Expenditure Prediction Equations for Children ages 3 to 6 years

Accelerometers have been widely used to measure activity energy expenditure (AEE) in free-living environments for young children. However, little research has examined the accuracy of accelerometer-based AEE prediction equations in preschool age children. PURPOSE: To compare the estimates of AEE from accelerometer-based prediction equations with AEE measured by indirect calorimetry in 3-6-year-old children. METHODS: A total of 28 preschool age...
