TABLE 4.

Objectively measured total physical activity in FM patients and healthy controls (CO).

	FM (n = 26)	CO (n = 26)	P	Effect Size CL
Daily counts (×103)	200 ± 57	271 ± 71	<0.001*	0.79
Counts per minute	224 ± 61	294 ± 79	0.001*	0.76
Minutes sedentary	1154 ± 59	1127 ± 73	0.15	0.63
Minutes light	205 ± 48	206 ± 55	0.94	0.51
Minutes moderate (Matthews)	80 ± 29	104 ± 31	0.006*	0.71
Minutes moderate (Freedson)	15 ± 8	29 ± 12	<0.001*	0.80
Minutes vigorous	0.6 ± 2	2.3 ± 5	0.006*a	0.69

Measures are mean ± SD expressed as counts and minutes per day.

Sedentary = <100 counts per minute, light = 100–760 counts per minute, moderate Matthews = 760–5724, moderate Freedson = 1952–5724 counts per minute, vigorous = >5724 counts per minute.
