Validity, reliability, and calibration of the Tritrac accelerometer as a measure of physical activity

Abstract

These data indicate that the Tritrac is highly reliable from day to day and is sensitive to changes in speed but not grade. Furthermore, the Tritrac accurately distinguishes various intensities of walking and jogging on level ground. With limitations, these cut-points can be used to categorize light, moderate, and vigorous physical activity and to estimate EE.
