No Abstract.

Highlights

  • There were no significant differences between right hip (RH)-left hip (LH) for any accelerometer variable (p>0.1) and effect sizes were small (0.02 - 0.15)

  • Greater variability in monitor placement was apparent for moderate-1 and moderate-2+vigorous variables

  • The use of accelerometers by researchers to objectively monitor physical activity has seen a dramatic increase since 1997.1 With the greater use of uni-axial accelerometers in large field studies,[2] important questions arise relating to possible sources of measurement error, such as monitor placement.[3,4]
