Accelerometry and heart rate as a measure of physical fitness: Cross-validation

Article Abstract:

A study tested the validity of the prediction formula in a group of healthy young adults to report on a new method to assess physical fitness, based on the combined use of accelerometry and heart rate (HR) registration. Although a good correlation was observed between measured and predicted V[O.sub.2max] in the cross-validation group, care should be taken in applying the prediction formula on groups that differ in physical activity.

Estimation of oxygen uptake during fast running using accelerometry and heart rate

Article Abstract:

A study was conducted to determine whether biomechanical and/or device limitations cause the observed leveling off of accelerometer counts during running. It was suggested that accelerometers with device dynamics would yield the greatest relationship between running speed and accelerometry output and both uni and triaxial accelerometer outputs have a linear relationship with speed during walking.

Accelerometry and heart rate as a measure of physical fitness: Proof of concept

Article Abstract:

A study is conducted which focuses on developing a new method to assess VO(sub 2max) outside laboratory conditions and without the need for maximal exertion. The study hypothesizes that the combined use of accelerometry and HR monitoring, under daily life conditions, could provide a good estimate of physical fitness.
