Accelerometry is frequently used to assess physical activity in children. The number of articles in this area has increased dramatically in the last 10 years. The aim of this article is to provide a contemporary overview of accelerometry research in children. Specifically, the review addresses the choice of monitor, choice of epoch, when and for how long activity should be measured, the lack of consensus over how to define a complete day of activity data, issues of compliance, methods for the calibration of activity output, and the richness of data available from accelerometry.
加速度计常用于评估儿童的身体活动。在过去10年里，该领域的文章数量急剧增加。本文旨在对儿童加速度计研究进行当代综述。具体而言，该综述涉及监测器的选择、时间段的选择、何时以及测量活动多长时间、在如何定义完整一天的活动数据方面缺乏共识、依从性问题、活动输出校准方法以及加速度计可获得的数据丰富性。
