研究人员对加速计的潜力越来越感兴趣，以提高我们测量和理解身体活动对健康影响的能力。虽然加速度计已经商业化超过25年，但关于如何使用这些工具尚未建立广泛的共识。在2004年12月的一次科学会议上，一些科学家应邀发表论文，担任论文的反应者或主持人，展示原创研究的海报，或作为了解加速计使用情况的听众。在2（1）/（2）d期间，介绍了加速度计使用的最佳实践信息，并对未来的研究提出了建议。根据提交的论文和进行的讨论的集体经验，介绍了加速度计的五个使用领域。本文从以下五个方面总结了最佳实践和未来的研究需求：监护仪的选择、质量和可靠性;监护仪使用协议;监护仪校准;加速度计数据分析;以及与其他数据源的集成。对期刊论文的报道标准也提出了建议。
Researchers are increasingly interested in the potential of accelerometers to improve our ability to measure and understand the health impacts of physical activity. Although accelerometers have been available commercially for more than 25 yr, broad consensus about how to use these tools has not been established. At a scientific conference in December 2004, a number of scientists were invited to present papers, serve as reactors or moderators to papers, present posters of original research, or serve as members of an audience knowledgeable about the use of accelerometers. During 2(1)/(2) d, information about best practices of accelerometer use was presented and suggestions for future research were made. From the collective experience of papers presented and discussions held, five areas of accelerometer use were described. This paper summarizes the best practices and future research needs from those five areas: monitor selection, quality, and dependability; monitor use protocols; monitor calibration; analysis of accelerometer data; and integration with other data sources. Suggestions for reporting standards for journal articles also are presented.
