Using raw acceleration data to assess the intensity of physical activity enables direct comparisons between studies using different accelerometer brands. Mean amplitude deviation (MAD in mg) calculated from resultant tri-axial signal was recently shown perform best classifying adults irrespective brand. This study compared MAD values and cut-points two accelerometers adolescents.Twenty voluntary participants (10 girls 10 boys) average age 14 wore (Actigraph GTX3, Pensacola FL, USA Hookie...
The purpose of this study was to measure physical activity (PA), sedentary behavior (SB), and hour-by-hour PA patterns with an accelerometer in a population-based sample Finnish children adolescents.A total 3274 participants (3rd, 5th, 7th, 9th graders) from 176 schools wore hip-worn triaxial for seven days during waking hours. Mean amplitude deviation the acceleration data used assess intensity that converted metabolic equivalents categorized into light, moderate, vigorous PA. Angle posture...
Background The number of sports injuries has increased in Finland during the past decades. In 2009 there were 337.000 sport Finland. Children, youth and especially young men are at high risk. Objective purpose LiVE program is to prevent Design Prospective cohort. Setting Nationwide injury prevention programme. Participants All clubs elementary schools Interventions Multidisciplinary programme evidence based methods. Implementation national international study findings conducted three main...
<h3> Background</h3> The Sports and Exercise Safety in Finland -program (LiVE) began 2006. aim of the LiVE is to reduce sport injuries. has three different projects: Healthy Athlete 2006-, TEKO - School 2010-, Smart Moves 2014-. program coordinated by Tampere Research Centre Medicine at UKK Institute. There a great deal polarisation lifestyles overall health knowledge vocational school students. In addition, every year approximately 350,000 sports injuries occur trend increasing. Young men...
<h3>Background</h3> In Finnish schools sport injuries happen mostly in physical education (PE) classes and recess. A remarkable part of the can be prevented. TEKO – Safety School Sports (2010–) is Exercise program LiVE. The primary target group for PE health (HE) teachers secondary schools. promotion focuses on 10 segments; activity (PA), sports skills, maturation, nutrition, rest sleep, environment equipment, care, atmosphere rules, support network. <h3>Objective</h3> has produced free...
