“…The MOV band is a three-plane accelerometer that measures movement in multiple planes to give an accurate estimate of each participant's physical activity and was previously validated against the Actigraph accelerometer [10]. Physical activity was recorded as moves as a built-in algorithm was used to convert the movement data from moves to miles, which is more widely understood.…”

“…It measures physical activity in the form of moves and is able to convert those numbers into miles via algorithms. It was previously validated against the Acti-graph accelerometer to be as accurate and reliable at recording and reporting movement [10]. Despite the motivation that these devices provide, there is still a need for supervised programs to help directly engage people in an exercise program to increase their physical activity.…”

Evidence has suggested that among untrained individuals, supervised exercise interventions may elicit greater health benefits and long-term exercise adherence compared to unsupervised exercise interventions.Purpose: This study focused on determining the effectiveness of a five-month supervised exercise intervention compared to a five-week unsupervised duration at a university work-site for faculty and staff members on physical activity behavior, muscular endurance, and cardiovascular health.Methods: An exercise intervention met three times per week for five months to undergo 60 minutes of structured, group exercise led by fitness professionals. This was followed by 5 weeks of independent exercise. Data collected included physical activity behavior via a validated accelerometer, muscular endurance, and cardiovascular health. Results:Repeated measures ANOVA at three time periods were conducted and post-hoc paired samples t-tests to determine where the main effect occurred. The data indicated that participation in a five-month supervised exercise program resulted in improvements of physical activity behavior (p=0.003) and increased muscular endurance via push-ups (p=0.002) and curl-ups (p<0.001). A fiveweek unsupervised program resulted in decreased physical activity behavior, decreased muscular endurance back to baseline levels, and increased resting heart rate (p=0.005). Conclusion:This study suggests that supervised exercise programs for previously sedentary individuals are effective in improving overall fitness. While a period of unsupervised exercise may result in less physical activity and decrease in muscular endurance and cardiovascular health.

“…The participants reported to the exercise physiology laboratory on two separate occasions, separated by one week. During the first visit, participants were given a validated accelerometer (Movband, Movable, Cleveland, OH) to wear around the wrist of their dominant hand as much as possible (a minimum of ≥ 10 hours per day) during waking hours for a one week period [32]. A questionnaire assessing age (years) and sex (male, female) was also completed by each participant during this first visit.…”

“…Physical activity behavior was objectively measured via the Movband accelerometer, which has been validated against a previously-validated, research-grade accelerometer (Actigraph GT1M, Actigraph Corporation, Pensacola, FL) and indirect calorimetry [32]. The Movband is a three-plane accelerometer that measures acceleration to quantify an accurate estimate of physical activity.…”

There is evidence of a positive relationship between cellular telephone use and sedentary behavior but not physical activity in college-aged individuals (18-29 years). These relationships have not been tested in individuals older than college age (≥ 30 years old). Testing these relationships in older individuals is warranted as cell phone use is inversely associated with age. Methods: A sample of adults aged 30-63 years (N = 69, 50.5 ± 8.2 years old) wore a physical activity monitor (accelerometer) for seven days and completed validated surveys assessing daily cell phone use, physical activity, and sedentary behavior. Results: Cell phone use (̅ = 125.2 ± 146.8 minutes per day) was inversely associated with age (r =-0.3, p = 0.005). Cell use was not associated with objectively-or subjectively-measured physical activity or sedentary behavior (r ≤ 0.1, p ≥ 0.3). Tertile splits were performed to establish groups of low, moderate, and high cell phone users. There were no significant (F ≤ 2.0, p ≥ 0.12 for all) differences in physical activity or sedentary behavior between groups. Conclusion: Unlike what has been reported in college-aged individuals, cell use was not associated with sedentary behavior in adults older than college age.
