加速度计和其他传感技术是身体活动测量的重要工具。工程技术的进步使开发人员能够将笨重、不舒服和显眼的显示器改造成相对较小、符合人体工程学和方便的研究工具。新设备可用于在受试者的日常生活中收集关于整体身体活动的数据，并且在某些情况下收集关于姿势、生理状态和位置的数据，持续数天或数周。在这篇综述文章中，我们确定了几种类型的监测技术的新趋势和当前知识水平的差距。关于活动传感技术的未来，唯一可以确定的是研究人员必须预测和计划变化。我们提出了一组最佳实践，可以加速新设备的采用，并增加今天收集和使用的数据与可能出现的新数据集和方法兼容的可能性。我们描述了几种技术驱动的趋势，从持续小型化的设备，提供有关活动水平和能量消耗的总的摘要信息，新的设备，提供有关特定类型，数量和位置的身体活动的高度详细的信息。一些设备将利用消费者技术（如移动的电话）来真实的检测和响应身体活动，从而在测量、远程合规监控、数据驱动的发现和干预方面创造新的机会。
Accelerometery and other sensing technologies are important tools for physical activity measurement. Engineering advances have allowed developers to transform clunky, uncomfortable, and conspicuous monitors into relatively small, ergonomic, and convenient research tools. New devices can be used to collect data on overall physical activity and in some cases posture, physiological state, and location, for many days or weeks from subjects during their everyday lives. In this review article, we identify emerging trends in several types of monitoring technologies and gaps in the current state of knowledge. The only certainty about the future of activity sensing technologies is that researchers must anticipate and plan for change. We propose a set of best practices that may accelerate adoption of new devices and increase the likelihood that data being collected and used today will be compatible with new datasets and methods likely to appear on the horizon. We describe several technology-driven trends, ranging from continued miniaturization of devices that provide gross summary information about activity levels and energy expenditure, to new devices that provide highly detailed information about the specific type, amount, and location of physical activity. Some devices will take advantage of consumer technologies, such as mobile phones, to detect and respond to physical activity in real time, creating new opportunities in measurement, remote compliance monitoring, data-driven discovery, and intervention.
