Measurement of the 24-Hour Activity Cycle

About this course

In the first course in this series, we considered the impact of sedentary behavior on health outcomes and in the second we explored the role of sleep in the 24-hour movement paradigm. What should now be apparent is that for optimal health all behaviors in the 24- hour paradigm, like decreased sedentary time, good quality sleep, light physical activity and moderate to vigorous physical activity, must be considered. But how do you measure these different behaviors that make up the 24-hour day?

In this course, we will explore current technologies used to measure health behaviors, from gold standards to consumer use, the pros and cons, and different things to consider.
