Fibion Research is the new gold standard for sedentary behaviour and physical activity measurements. 

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Accelerometers have become an increasingly popular tool for the objective assessment of physical activity (PA). There are several hip- and thigh-worn accelerometers that are commonly used in research projects (for example ActivPAL3, ActivPAL4, Actigraph wGT3X, Actigraph GT9X). Currently, accelerometers are used both for laboratory experiments and in a free-living environment. The latter is recognized as particularly beneficial to studies considering the evaluation of human behavio. In early free-living studies, accelerometers were typically located close to the center of body mass, e.g., on the waist, hip or lower back. However, recent large cohort studies,  used sensors placed on a wrist following suggestions that this body placement improves wear compliance, particularly among younger participants and during prolonged measurements.
