Monitoring Physical
Activity and Energy Expenditure with Actical monitors provides
accurate Objective Data for your research studies.
Digital Integration
signal processing reports both the intensity and the
range of motion, resulting in more accurate Activity Count data
and Active Energy Expenditure data. FDA cleared Actiwatch
technology assures long-term calibration stability and high
device-to device correlation.
A titanium backplate
and hard plastic case ensure years of reliable
service. Data can be displayed as graphics or
statistics and are in ASCII format. |

| Actical's multidirectional, piezoelectric
accelerometer is sensitive to 0.05g. The degree and intensity of
motion acting upon the sensor produces a variable voltage output signal
which determines the number of Activity Counts reported. This
"Digital Integration" process is recognized for accurately
reporting both intensity and range of motion. Actical's sensor
reports movement in all planes, rather than just an "up/down"
direction as reported by pedometers and even some other activity
monitors that use other types of accelerometers |

ACTIVITY
SCORING
Collected data can be
evaluated minute by minute or per activity bout, day or week, or for the
total study period. Multiday Actograms, Actogram Zoom, and
statistical presentation of Activity Count data. ASCII
format data files can be opened directly in spread-sheet, database, and
other analysis programs. |

ACTICAL
ENERGY EXPENDITURE ANALYSIS
Actical can
provide calculated energy expenditure values for Active Energy
Expenditure (AEE) in Kilocalories and total energy expenditure in
Metabolic Equivalents per Time (METs) in kilocalories/min/kg. |
|
ACTICAL
SOFTWARE GIVES YOU 29 WAYS TO LOOK AT YOUR DATA.
A
FEW OF THOSE ARE LISTED BELOW: |
- Total energy expenditure (kcals)
- Average energy expenditure (kcals per minute)
- Total activity (counts)
- Average activity (counts per minute)
- Time interval duration (minutes)
- Total energy Expenditure within each activity range (kcals) - sedentary,
light, moderate, and vigorous activity ranges
- Average energy expenditure within each activity range (kcals
per minute)
- Accumulated time within each activity range (minutes)
- Ratio of accumulated time within each activity range to total
time (%)
- Sum of activity counts within each activity range (counts)
- Average activity within each activity range (counts per minute)
