Advanced analytical methods to assess physical activity behavior using accelerometer time series: A scoping review.

ABSTRACT: Physical activity (PA) is a complex human behavior, which implies that multiple dimensions need to be taken into account in order to reveal a complete picture of the PA behavior profile of an individual. This scoping review aimed to map advanced analytical methods and their summary variables, hereinafter referred to as wearable-specific indicators of PA behavior (WIPAB), used to assess PA behavior. The strengths and limitations of those indicators as well as potential associations with certain health-related factors were also investigated. Three databases (MEDLINE, Embase, and Web of Science) were screened for articles published in English between January 2010 and April 2020. Articles, which assessed the PA behavior, gathered objective measures of PA using tri-axial accelerometers, and inv
