“…These technologies, which are used in conjunction with kinanthropology research, have led to an enhanced understanding of the complex relationships between human movement behavior and the built environment [5][6][7] The spatial location of PA has been measured across all population groups [8,9], with GPS data most commonly combined with objective measurements of PA using accelerometers [10][11][12]. GPS data can also be used to more accurately specify the type of PA, such as walking, running, cycling, or traveling in a vehicle [13][14][15][16]. It can also be used to detect time spent indoors [17].…”

In order to study the relationship between human physical activity and the design of the built environment, it is important to measure the location of human movement accurately. In this study, we compared an inexpensive GPS receiver (Holux RCV-3000) and a frequently used Garmin Forerunner 35 smart watch, with a device that has been validated and recommended for physical activity research (Qstarz BT-Q1000XT). These instruments were placed on six geodetic points, which represented a range of different environments (e.g., residential, open space, park). The coordinates recorded by each device were compared with the known coordinates of the geodetic points. There were no differences in accuracy among the three devices when averaged across the six sites. However, the Garmin was more accurate in the city center and the Holux was more accurate in the park and housing estate areas compared to the other devices. We consider the location accuracy of the Holux and the Garmin to be comparable to that of the Qstarz. Therefore, we consider these devices to be suitable instruments for locating physical activity. Researchers must also consider other differences among these devices (such as battery life) when determining if they are suitable for their research studies.

“…Průměrné denní hodnoty byly následně porovnány se vzdálenostmi, které uvádí místopisný deník tohoto kurzu. Hodnoty ušlých vzdáleností v deníku byly sestaveny na základě záznamu trasy pomocí GPS loggeru Holux RCV 3000 (Vorlicek et al, 2019), který byl ověřen na online mapových serverech mapy.cz a hiking.sk.…”

Chůze na sněžnicích je v zimní přírodě základní pohybová schopnost. Jedná se o aktivitu fyzicky náročnější než běžná chůze. Tato lokomoce byla zkoumána z různých aspektů (fyziologických, biomechanických či spirituálních). Validační studie ověřujících fitness náramky byly doposud realizované pouze na pevném povrchu. Žádná práce nezkoumala měřící vlastnosti fitness náramků v autentických podmínkách zimní krajiny. Cíle: Hlavním cílem studie je ověřit využitelnost fitness náramku Garmin Vívofit pro monitoring pohybové aktivity při chůzi na sněžnicích v horském prostředí. Metodika: Studie se v rámci dvanáctidenního kurzu pobytu v zimní přírodě, organizovaného zážitkovou školou Lipnice, zúčastnilo 35 respondentů (22 můžu a 13 žen). Naměřená data byla získána z náramků Garmin Vívofit a jejich validita byla ověřena prostřednictvím GPS loggeru a odečtem vzdálenosti mapových portálů. Výsledky: Hodnoty z náramku Garmin Vívofit byly v deseti z dvanácti monitorovaných dnů statisticky významně nepřesné. Hodnoty z GPS loggeru doplněné mapovou analýzou poukazují, že průměrná denní překonaná vzdálenost byla o 3,44 km kratší (9,42 ± 2,88 km). Náramek měřil ve všech měřených dnech vyšší hodnoty (v km), než jsou GPS a mapové údaje. Závěry: V případě nevyužití hrudního pásu pro snímání tepové frekvence, nepovažujeme přístroj Garmin Vívofit za vhodný pro objektivní monitoring chůze na sněžnicích. Na základě našich výsledků doporučujeme monitoring za pomoci tepové frekvence, která není ovlivněna délkou kroků.

To understand the environmental determinants of physical activity (PA), precise spatial localization is crucial. This cross-sectional study focuses on the spatiotemporal distribution of PA among Czech adolescents (n = 171) using Global Positioning System loggers and accelerometers. The results showed that adolescents spent most of their time in sedentary behavior, with 57.2% and 58.5% of monitored time at home and school, respectively. The park and playground had the lowest proportion of sedentary behavior but also the lowest amount of moderate to vigorous PA (MVPA). However, when considering the time spent in each domain, the highest proportion of MVPA was seen in publicly accessible playgrounds (13.3% of the time). Chi-square analysis showed that the relative distribution of different PA intensities did not differ across spatial domains. Based on these results, the authors propose 2 key strategies for increasing MVPA in adolescents: Increase the time spent in activity-supportive environments, such as parks and playgrounds, and design techniques to increase MVPA at home and school settings.
