Hands, Beth; Parker, Helen; Larkin, Dawne – Measurement in Physical Education and Exercise Science, 2006
Many behavior patterns that impact on physical activity experiences are established in early childhood, therefore it is important that valid, reliable, and feasible measures are constructed to identify children who are not developing appropriate and healthy activity habits. In this study, measures of physical activity derived by accelerometry and…
