Descriptions of accelerometer-derived metrics of physical activity composition

Intensity Bouts
Light physical activity (LLPA):
•  100–759 counts/minut •  Time spent in 1+ minute bouts (minute/week; total activity time)
High light physical activity (HLPA):
•  760–1,040 counts/minute •  Time spent in 2+ minute bouts (minute/week)
Low moderate physical activity (LMPA):
•  1,041–2019 counts/minute •  Time spent in 5+ minute bouts (minute/week)
High moderate physical activity (HMPA):
•  2,020+ counts/minute •  Time spent in 10+ minute bouts (minute/week)
Total physical activity (TPA):
•  100+ counts/minute
