TI  - Accuracy of multisensor activity monitors in normal versus high BMI African 
      American children.
PG  - 1124-34
AB  - BACKGROUND: Overweight children show different movement patterns during walking 
      than normal-weight children, suggesting the accuracy of multisensory activity 
      monitors may differ in these groups. METHODS: Eleven normal and 15 high BMI 
      African American children walked at 2, 4, 5, and 6 km/h on a treadmill wearing 
      the Intelligent Device for Energy Expenditure and Activity (IDEEA) and SenseWear 
      (SW). Accuracy was determined using indirect calorimetry and manually counted 
      steps as references. RESULTS: For IDEEA, no significant differences in accuracy 
      were observed between BMI groups for energy expenditure (EE), but differences 
      were significant by speed (+15% at 2 km/h to -10% at 6 km/h). For SW, EE accuracy 
      was significantly different for high (+21%) versus normal BMI girls (-13%) at 2 
      km/h. For high BMI girls, EE was overestimated at low speed and underestimated at 
      higher speeds. Underestimations in steps did not differ by BMI group at 4 to 6 
      km/h, but were significantly larger at 2 km/h than at the other speeds for all 
      groups with IDEEA, and for normal BMI children with SW. CONCLUSIONS: Similar 
      accuracies during walking may be expected in normal and overweight children using 
      IDEEA and SW. Both monitors showed small errors for steps provided speed exceeded 
      2 km/h.
