Children 9–11, adolescents 14–16 and adults 23–44 years old. VO_2net cut-points (mL⋅min⁻¹⋅kg⁻¹): LPA 1.1, MPA 5.5, VPA 14.2 and VVPA 22.9. MET cut-points (METs): LPA 1.5, MPA 3.0, VPA 6.0 and VVPA 9.0. Explained variation (R²) is presented for the fit of the regression line between VO_2net/MET and accelerometer mg.
