Assessing and Enhancing Movement Quality Using Wearables and Consumer Technologies: Thematic Analysis of Expert Perspectives

Assessing and Enhancing Movement Quality Using Wearables and Consumer Technologies: Thematic Analysis of Expert Perspectives

Kianifar et al [16], for example, demonstrated that a binary machine-learning algorithm could distinguish between “good” and “poor” repetitions of a single-leg squat with 90% accuracy using a single wearable device worn on the ankle, and 96% accuracy using 3 devices (ankle, thigh, and lower back).

Assessing the Perceptions of Inspiratory Muscle Training in Children With Cystic Fibrosis and Their Multidisciplinary Team: Mixed-Methods Study

Assessing the Perceptions of Inspiratory Muscle Training in Children With Cystic Fibrosis and Their Multidisciplinary Team: Mixed-Methods Study

The IMT intervention consisted of participants undertaking 30 inspirations, twice a day, for 28 consecutive days using a POWERbreathe Plus device (POWERbreathe Plus LF Level 1, Gaiam Ltd E & OE, UK). A progressive approach was adopted, whereby participants initially trained at a load of 40% of their baseline maximal inspiratory pressure, increasing to 50% during weeks 3 and 4 [10].

Wearable Activity Tracker Use Among Australian Adolescents: Usability and Acceptability Study

Wearable Activity Tracker Use Among Australian Adolescents: Usability and Acceptability Study

Therefore, the aim of this study was to examine the usability and acceptability of a wearable activity tracker among adolescents. A secondary aim was to determine adolescents’ awareness and use of the different functions and features incorporated into the wearable activity tracker and accompanying app. This study drew on data collected via focus group discussions conducted with adolescents aged 13-14 years after they were given a Fitbit for a 6-week period.

Feasibility and Effectiveness of Using Wearable Activity Trackers in Youth: A Systematic Review

Feasibility and Effectiveness of Using Wearable Activity Trackers in Youth: A Systematic Review

The project culminated in a final intervention session where 3 goals were given, and a tangible reward (eg, a small toy) was provided based on the goal(s) achieved. The number of steps taken increased by 47% from baseline (1326 steps) to intervention (1956 steps; contribution of 18% to daily step recommendations [30]), while the proportion of time spent in MVPA increased from 4% to 25%, which equates to 5 minutes of MVPA during recess, or a contribution of 8% to daily recommendations [5].
