aDays analyzed for Fitbit One: n=135; days analyzed for Jawbone UP: n=154.

bCorrelations for steps were calculated using Pearson correlation coefficient (r). Correlations for MVPA and longest idle time were calculated using Spearman rank correlation coefficient (ρ) due to non-normally distributed data. All correlations were significant at P<.05.

cAll agreements are significant at P<.001 except for longest sedentary bout (P>.99).

dWhere the mean difference or limits of agreement were systematically biased, equations are presented, where x=a given value on the x-axis (mean of device and ActiGraph GT3X+ value).
