SenseWear Pro Armband: a monitoring device of physical activity energy consumption

doi:10.3969/j.issn.2095-4344.2015.42.022

Abstract

Abstract:

BACKGROUND: SenseWear Pro Armband (SWA) is a monitoring device of physical activity energy consumption which consists of many kinds of motion sensors, and it has been widely used in the study of physical activity energy consumption in recent years.

OBJECTIVE: To summarize the SWA accuracy, software version, time of wear as well as its application in different populations and at different physical activity levels, for the purpose of providing some practical reference in the future usage of SWA.

METHODS: A computer-based search of CNKI (full-text database), PubMed and Web of Science databases was done for relevant articles published before January 2015 using the keywords of “physical activity, sensewear pro armband, energy expenditure, review” in Chinese and English, respectively. Articles published in core journals or SCI database were preferred.

RESULTS AND CONCLUSION: Double labeled water method and indirect measurement method serve as standard criteria, and the relevant study shows that SWA has higher accuracy and can effectively evaluate the daily physical activity energy consumption. But under the special circumstances, there are some differences, such as different people and different exercise intensities. Meanwhile, to determine the appropriate wearing time and software version for data statistics are also one of the factors influencing the accuracy of the final result. SWA can accurately predict physical activity energy consumption, but for different populations and exercise intensities, it is necessary to improve the further calculation formula of SWA.
