摘要通过观察研究评估了计步器和活动计用于估计日常身体活动的有效性。通过计步器、活动计和观察对幼儿园 11 名学生的体育活动进行了评估。除此之外，婴儿奎德还完成了一份活动调查问卷。根据个人观察，很明显，婴儿指南可以提供有关孩子在学校活动的有价值的信息。腰部计步器和脚踝处的活动计的结果与观察方法的结果显着相关。手腕活动计与其他变量的相关性较小，但仍然显着。我们讨论了这一发现对身体活动的影响。计步器结果指出，当剧烈活动的百分比较高时，计步器往往会低估活动水平。动作计结果表明，这种运动记录仪可以可靠地估计儿童的活动。讨论了活动计在日常身体活动研究和某些疾病的身体康复治疗中的实际应用。
SummaryThe validity of the pedometer and actometer for estimating the daily physical activity was evaluated by means of an observation study. The physical activity in a classroom of 11 pupils of a kindergarten was assessed by means of a pedometer, actometer and by observation. Besides this an activity questionnaire was completed by the infant-quide. On basis of the individual observation it is clear that the infant-guide can give valuable information about the activity of the children at school.The results of the pedometer attached to the waist and the actometers attached to the ankle were significantly correlated with the results of the observation method. The wrist actometer showed a smaller but still significant correlation with the other variables. Implications of this findings are discussed in regard toward the physical activity. The pedometer results point out that when the percentage of intense activity is high the pedometer tends to underestimate the level of activity.The actometer results indicate that such a motion recorder gives a reliable estimation of activity in children. The findings are discussed in terms of the practical applications of the actometer in the research of daily physical activity and the physical rehabilitation treatment of certain diseases.
