Purpose: We performed a study to determine the best appropriate wearing site of a triaxial accelerometer at different exercise speeds. Materials and Methods: We conducted an observational study with 66 healthy Korean adults (26 men and 40-women). Resting metabolic rate (RMR) before exercise, physical activity-related energy expenditure (PARE) by cardiorespiratory gas analyzer and Signal Vector Magnitude (SVM) were measured while wearing four triaxial accelerometers on four different sites (wrist, waist, upper arm, and ankle) at exercise speeds from 2-10 km/h. Results: The mean RMR was 4.03 mL/kg/min and Actual METs (oxygen consumption at different exercise speeds divided by individual RMR) compared with the calculated METs (oxygen consumption divided by 3.5 mL/kg/min) showed relatively low value. The overall correlation between PAEE and SVM was highest when the accelerometer was worn on the wrist at low exercise speed (r=0.751, p
