Counts measured under the protocol for slow walk that were above the threshold for moderate intensity activity were considered as false positive.
Counts measured under the protocol for brisk walk that were below the threshold for moderate intensity activity were considered as false negative.
Based on 100 bootstrap samples, each half the size as the original sample.
