Comparison of physical activity and sedentary time measured with the ActiGraph GT3X-BT and Actical accelerometers / by Janine Clarke, Aidan Gribbon, Mélie St-Laurent, Thomas Ferrao, Joel Barnes, Nicholas...CS82-003/2026-2-1E-PDF

"Accurate and ongoing assessments of physical activity (PA) and sedentary time (SED) are needed to support public health surveillance, evaluate interventions, and advance the understanding of how movement behaviours relate to health. After six cycles of data collection (2007 to 2019) using the Actical (AC) accelerometer, the Canadian Health Measures Survey (CHMS) transitioned to the ActiGraph wGT3X-BT (AG). To understand how estimates from the AC accelerometer may compare with those from the AG in the context of the CHMS, this study compares AC and AG accelerometer estimates of PA, step counts, and SED using CHMS protocols"--Abstract, page 3.
