Identification of Accelerometer Nonwear Time and Sedentary Behavior.

The article discusses a study on the identification of sedentary behavior and accelerometer nonwear time in a sample of adult university employees from Auckland, New Zealand. It mentions that paired t tests were used to identify differences between actual sedentary time and derived sedentary time. It shows that a threshold of 180 consecutive zero minutes and a one-minute allowance preceding or following the bout generated the most accurate assessment of accelerometer nonwear time.
