Evaluating Physical Activity Intensity Threshold Associations With Rated Health and Well-Being in Community-Dwelling Older Adults
Background: Existing accelerometer thresholds (i.e., count-based cutpoints) validated to characterize physical activity (PA) in adult populations may not capture relationships to health in older adults. Purpose: To examine associations... Continue Reading >>>
