Data Analytics in Physical Activity Studies With Accelerometers: Scoping Review.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Monitoring free-living physical activity (PA) through wearable devices enables the real-time assessment of activity features associated with health outcomes and provision of treatment recommendations and adjustments. The conclusions of studies on PA and health depend crucially on reliable statistical analyses of digital data. Data analytics, however, are challenging due to the various metrics adopted for measuring PA, different aims of studies, and complex temporal variations within variables. The application, interpretation, and appropriateness of these analytical tools have yet to be summarized.

Objective

This research aimed to review studies that used analytical methods for analyzing PA monitored by accelerometers. Specifically, this review addressed three ques
