Actigraph Accelerometer Validation Study

NCT00342212 · Status: COMPLETED · Type: OBSERVATIONAL

Summary

Background:

* Good measures of physical activity are needed for studies correlating physical activity and the risk of developing certain diseases.
* In preparation for use in a study of diseases and risk factors in Hispanic populations, NCI is evaluating a new model accelerometer to measure physical activity. An accelerometer is a small device worn on a belt at the waist that measures and records movement, capturing movement intensity and duration and associating it with clock-time.
* The new accelerometer (ActiGraph GTIM) uses a different type of motion detector from that used in the previous model (ActiGraph 7164).

Objective: To evaluate and compare the ActiGraph GTIM with the ActiGraph 7164 by collecting physical activity data using both models.

Eligibility: Men and women 18-74 years of age.

Design: Study participants wear both model accelerometers while they walk or jog around a track at several self-selected paces. Data from the two devices are compared.
