Figure Lengend Snippet: Percentages of correctly classified tasks for the activPAL and ActiGraph considering all individual measurements (2A) and percentages of correctly classified tasks during both experimental visits, i.e., on repeated occasions (2B). Individual tasks were clustered into sitting (N = 11), standing (N = 5), stepping (N = 5) and postural transitions (N = 3).

Figure Lengend Snippet: Angle measurements for the ActiGraph (3A) and activPAL (3B) using a protractor. The picture in the middle shows the starting position with the devices placed parallel to the floor and the protractor scale reading 0°, representing sitting. The areas in white and grey represent the coded position and angle ranges relative to the horizontal. White = sitting, dark grey = standing, light grey = postural transition (sitting to standing or vice versa). The arrows show the direction in which the devices were moved. The double arrow in 3A shows that the coded position was independent from the direction in which the monitor was moved. The two arrows in 3B highlight differences in the coded posture and postural transition, depending in which direction the monitor was moved.

Figure Lengend Snippet: Activity and glucose monitor analysis across the habitual ( Day −7 to Day 0 ) and experimental ( Days 1–5 ) periods for overweight, sedentary males ( n = 8).

Article Snippet: Throughout each 7-d habitual and 5-d experimental periods (12-d total), participants wore an activPAL inclinometer (activPAL3TMtri-axial physical activity monitor, PAL-technologies Ltd., Glasgow, Scotland) on the thigh, and an ActiGraph accelerometer (ActiGraph GTX3+, Pensacola, FL, USA; during waking hours only) worn around the waist over the right hip, to assess and monitor physical activity and movement patterns.
