Abstract:
Objective To provide a reference for carrying out related studies by sorting out the validity studies on wrist-wearable activity monitors for evaluation of physical activity parameters and summarizing all existing research results and progress.
Methods CNKI, PubMed, EMBASE, Google Scholar, and other databases were searched.After the initial screening, exclusion of repeated articles, the results of all studies were integrated and finally summarized.
Results As the results of studies are affected by various factors, wrist-wearable activity monitors exhibit errors when monitoring the parameters of different physical activities and distance, and quantifying the time spent on different intensities of physical activity.
Conclusions Wrist-wearable activity monitor devices have the poor accuracy on monitoring the different physical activity parameters as a whole, so we should interpret these research results in practical situation discreetly.In addition, there are many deficiencies in present studies, and these subjects require further in-depth studies.
