Abstract

PURPOSE: The purpose of this study was to explore whether incorporating gyroscopic and accelerometer data will improve the prediction of energy expenditure (EE) of preschool children. Three model configurations were developed and compared using (1) accelerometer, (2) gyroscope, and (3) accelerometer + gyroscope data (dual sensor). METHOD: Participants (n = 39; aged 3 to
