Accelerometry, Energy Consumption, Validation StudiesAbstract
Objective: The primary objective of this review was to examine the quality of the validation studies of the accelerometry tool as compared with measuring maximal oxygen uptake (VO2max). A secondary objective was to present the main characteristics of the studies and of the main models of accelerometers tested. Method: After searching the MedLine, LILACS, Embase e CLINAHL databases with the descriptors “Oxygen Consumption” OR “Energy Metabolism” AND “Accelerometry” AND “Validation Studies,” the two authors made the selection according to the title, the abstract, and the full text. After that, the quality of the articles was assessed by the QUADAS-2 tool for risk of bias and for concerns regarding the applicability of the test. Results: We selected 10 studies that fit the inclusion criteria. The QUADAS-2 analysis showed that for the risk of bias there were problems with identification, particularly with regard to the proposed test and with the gold standard. In relation to the applicability, in most studies the risk was low. The most used accelerometers were the Actgraph and the SenseWear Armband Pro3 that was tested in 3 studies. Conclusion: This systematic review concluded that more information is needed about the proposed methodology in studies to classify their quality and that accelerometry is a valid alternative to measure energy metabolism in conditions of free-living and controlled activities, regardless of the accelerometer.
