Prediction equations used in ActiLife® to obtain METs from the ActiGraph (AG) accelerometer.
| Monitor | The Equation Used to Calculate METs |
|---|---|
| AG (Freedson) | 1.439008 + 0.000795 × VT count/minute |
| AG (Santos-Lozano VT) | 2.118089 + 0.000662 × VT count/minute |
| AG (Sasaki) | 0.668876 + 0.000863 × VM count/minute |
| AG (Santos-Lozano VM) | 1.546618 + 0.000658 × VM count/minute |
Note: METs: metabolic equivalents, VT: vertical axis, VM: vector magnitude.
