AB  - Multi-sensor body monitors that combine accelerometry with other physiological 
      data are designed to overcome drawbacks of accelerometers in assessing activities 
      with little or no vertical movement. One of such devices is the Sensewear Armband 
      (SWA) which has been extensively validated during various activities. However, 
      very few of the validation studies included activities other than walking and 
      running. The aim of this investigation was to assess the validity of the SWA 
      during recreational in-line skating. Nineteen participants (11 females and 8 
      males), 28 (+/-6) years of age, performed in-line skating exercise on a circular 
      track at a self-selected pace. Energy expenditure was measured with the SWA and 
      the Cosmed K4b(2) breath-by-breath portable metabolic unit. The mean (SD) energy 
      expenditure during in-line skating estimated by the SWA [25.5 (5.8) kJ/min] was 
      significantly lower compared with indirect calorimetry [44.2 (9.7) kJ/min, P < 
      0.001]. Similarly, the mean (SD) MET values recorded by the SWA were also lower 
      compared with IC [5.3 (1.0) METs vs. 9.1 (1.6) METs, P < 0.001]. The ratio limits 
      of agreement suggest that in 95% of cases the SWA will underestimate the energy 
      expenditure and MET values during in-line skating by as much as 24-56% compared 
      with indirect calorimetry. In conclusion, the results of the present study 
      indicate that the SWA is not able to overcome the drawbacks of accelerometry in 
      assessing activities with limited vertical movement.
