Table 7.

Percentage error, mean difference, and 95% limits of agreement between total activity measured by Actigraph GT3x and activity minutes from each monitor.

a

Positive value indicates the device underestimates steps in comparison to Actigraph GT3x

b

p value obtained from Wilcoxon signed rank test comparing activity time from each device to Actigraph GT3X.

c

Unable to calculate percentage error because some people had 0 minutes of moderate-to-vigorous physical activity as measured by the Actigraph GT3X.
