“…The sum of MET values for categories 1-9 reported over three-days in the activity records was used as the indicator of overall energy expenditure. Activities in categories 6 to 9 (median energy costs, ≥4.8 METS) were classified as moderate-to-vigorous in intensity (Katzmarzyk et al, 1998a), which are recommended to develop and maintain h ealt h-re lat ed p h ysic a l fit ne ss in c hi l dren an d adolescents (Simons-Morton et al, 1988).

“…Studies of determinants of children's physical activity (Dishman & Dunn, 1988) and intervention trials (Simons-Morton, Parcel, O'Hara, Blair, & Pate, 1988) are appearing at an increasing rate. Objective measures of physical activity, such as direct observation (McKenzie et al, 1991), heart rate monitoring (Freedson, 1989), and motion sensors (Sallis, Buono, Roby, Carlson, & Nelson, 1990), are available, but, due in part to expense, they are not often used.…”

“…However, the current status of children's physical activity is not well documented (Simons-Morton, Parcel, O'Hara, Blair, & Pate, 1988), and valid measures of children's physical activity that are appropriate for use in population studies are needed (Sallis et al, 1992).…”
