This is significant for physical activity promotion because more precise measurement will allow investigators to better understand where, when, and how physical activity is and is not occurring, thus enabling more effective targeting of particular behavior settings. Emerging technologies associated with the measurement and evaluation of physical activity are noteworthy because: (1) Their ease of use and transferability can greatly increase external validity of measures and findings; (2) Technologies can significantly increase the ability to analyze patterns; (3) They can improve the ongoing, systematic collection and analysis of public health surveillance due to real-time capabilities associated with many emerging technologies; (4) There is a need for research and papers about the cyberinfrastructure required to cope with big data (multiple streams, processing, aggregation, visualization, etc.); and (5) Increasingly blurred boundaries between measurement and intervention activity (e.g., the quantified-self /self-tracking movement) may necessitate a reevaluation of the conventional scientific model for designing and evaluating these sorts of studies.PhysiologyHILCCHuman Anatomy & PhysiologyHILCCHealth & Biological SciencesHILCCInterventionsbuilt environmentaccelerometersEmerging technologysmartphone appGPSOnlineGlobal Positioning Systemsphysical activityPhysiologyHuman Anatomy & PhysiologyHealth & Biological Sciences612/.044Jacqueline Kerrauth1365329Hipp James AaronMarshall SimonGraham Dan JPQKBUkMaJRU9910137204403321Emerging technologies to promote and evaluate physical activity3387033UNINA
