AB  - The present study investigated the use of a tri-axial accelerometer, Tracmor2, 
      for the measurement of physical activity in children. Eleven children [age 6.9 
      (2.2) years, body mass 19.5 (5.3) kg and height 112.3 (14.4) cm] were studied. 
      Total daily energy expenditure (TDEE) was measured using the doubly labeled water 
      method over a 2-week period. In addition, basal metabolic rate (BMR) was 
      determined by the ventilated hood system. Physical activity level (PAL) was 
      defined as TDEE/BMR. Tracmor2 was worn during the same 2-week period throughout 
      waking hours after which average counts per day were calculated. The average 
      counts per day were shown to be highly correlated to PAL values measured by 
      doubly labeled water: PAL = 1.156 x 10(-5) x Tracmor2 average counts day(-1) + 
      0.978 (r=0.79, P<0.01). In conclusion, Tracmor2 is a valid instrument to measure 
      physical activity in children under free-living conditions.
