It reviews current advances in the technology of activity monitoring and details advantages of objective monitors relative to physical activity questionnaires. It points to continuing gaps in knowledge, and explores the potential for further advances in the design of objective monitoring devices. Epidemiologists have studied relationships between questionnaire assessments of habitual physical activity and various medical conditions for some seventy years. In general, they have observed positive associations between regular exercise and good health, but because of inherent limitations in the reliability and accuracy of physical activity questionnaires, optimal exercise recommendations for the prevention and treatment of disease have remained unclear. Inexpensive pedometers and accelerometers now offer the epidemiologist the potential to collect relatively precisely graded and objective information on the volume, intensity and patterns of effort that people are undertaking, to relate this data to past and future health experience, and to establish dose/response relationships between physical activity and the various components of health. Such information is important both in assessing the causal nature of the observed associations and in establishing evidence-based recommendations concerning the minimal levels of daily physical activity needed to maintain good health. . 410 0$aSpringer Series on Epidemiology and Public Health,$x1869-7933 606 $aHuman physiology 606 $aRehabilitation medicine 606 $aSports medicine 606 $aHealth promotion 606 $aEpidemiology 606 $aHuman Physiology$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/B13004 606 $aRehabilitation Medicine$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/H55030 606 $aSports Medicine$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/H58005 606 $aHealth Promotion and Disease Prevention$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/H27010 606 $aEpidemiology$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/H63000 615 0$aHuman physiology. 615 0$aRehabilitation medicine. 615 0$aSports medicine. 615 0$aHealth promotion. 615 0$aEpidemiology. 615 14$aHuman Physiology. 615 24$aRehabilitation Medicine. 615 24$aSports Medicine. 615 24$aHealth Promotion and Disease Prevention. 615 24$aEpidemiology. 676 $a612.044 702 $aShephard$b Roy J$4edt$4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/edt 702 $aTudor-Locke$b Catrine$4edt$4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/edt 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910254526703321 996 $aThe Objective Monitoring of Physical Activity: Contributions of Accelerometry to Epidemiology, Exercise Science and Rehabilitation$92508605 997 $aUNINA
