physical activity, accelerometers, accelerometry, activity monitorsAbstract
To assess precisely and reliability the Physical Activity is still a challenger to the epidemiologist, scientific, medicals, exercise specialists and behavioural researchers. Nowadays, the accelerometers are monitors activity broadly used in scientific research. The present work has as an aim to show the real situation of the accelerometry to quantify Physical Activity Levels, as well as, their limitations and future directions in order to promote a better use of this technology.
