A comparative evaluation of three accelerometry-based physical activity monitors
Article Abstract:
This article evaluates the ability of three physical activity monitors to estimate the frequency, duration, and intensity of physical activity in field and laboratory settings. Results indicate that all three accelerometry-based devices provided highly correlated information during laboratory treadmill tests and lifestyle activities in field conditions.

Reliability of power output during intermittent high-intensity cycling
Article Abstract:
Trials show that intermittent cycling tests are a satisfactory method of assessing power output in untrained subjects. Subjects unfamiliar with sprinting exercise performed multiple-sprint tests and were evaluated for peak power and mean power outputs. Results determined that multiple-sprint cycling tests accurately reflected subjects' power outputs over a six-day period.
