研究表明，高水平的久坐行为（低能量消耗的坐着或躺着）与健康不利。提高我们对久坐行为（以及久坐时间累积模式）对健康影响的了解的一个关键因素是使用收集日期和时间戳活动信息的客观测量工具。 activPAL 监视器就是这样的工具之一。这种佩戴在大腿上的设备使用来自加速度计的有关大腿位置的信息来确定坐/躺、站立和迈步的每个时期的开始和结束，以及迈步速度、步数和姿势转换。 activPAL 因其能够通过姿势测量坐/躺的能力而越来越多地用于现场研究。我们总结了在成年人体力活动和久坐行为现场研究中使用 activPAL 时需要考虑的关键问题。研究结果和讨论要点旨在为当前正在使用或打算使用 activPAL 监视器的研究人员提供信息。使用当前文献中的示例以及来自英国和澳大利亚的两个研究小组的经验，介绍了数据收集前的决策、监测准备和分发、数据收集注意事项以及手动和自动数据处理的可能性。
Research indicates that high levels of sedentary behavior (sitting or lying with low energy expenditure) are adversely associated with health. A key factor in improving our understanding of the impact of sedentary behavior (and patterns of sedentary time accumulation) on health is the use of objective measurement tools that collect date and time-stamped activity information. One such tool is the activPAL monitor. This thigh-worn device uses accelerometer-derived information about thigh position to determine the start and end of each period spent sitting/lying, standing, and stepping, as well as stepping speed, step counts, and postural transitions. The activPAL is increasingly being used within field-based research for its ability to measure sitting/lying via posture. We summarise key issues to consider when using the activPAL in physical activity and sedentary behavior field-based research with adult populations. It is intended that the findings and discussion points be informative for researchers who are currently using activPAL monitors or are intending to use them. Pre-data collection decisions, monitor preparation and distribution, data collection considerations, and manual and automated data processing possibilities are presented using examples from current literature and experiences from 2 research groups from the UK and Australia.
