Selecting Days
To select which day of the recording to view, note the
sequence of small day graphs across the top of the Day
Analysis window. You can click on any of these to view
that day in more detail below. You can also scroll this
selection to view more days later in the recording. Days
which contain some moderate or vigorous activity are
highlighted with the “M” or “V” stamp respectively on the
quick selection view.
In addition, the
left
and
right
arrows to the right of the day
calendar, as well as the
directional keys
on the keyboard
can be used to step through all days of the recording.
Highlighted Activity Graph
The main activity graph in the Day Analysis window
highlights periods of constant activity
– those where higher
levels of movement are maintained for 10 minutes or more.
You can control whether moderate and vigorous periods
are highlighted in this way using the View menu of this
window.
Summary Activity
Below the main activity graph, a bar chart summarises the
amount of time spent in constant activities of vigorous,
moderate or low intensity alongside sedentary time. The
table of results below this includes both the constant totals
drawn in the bar chart and highlighted on the activity graph
(where only 10 minute or greater periods are counted), and
the total times in each category (where every epoch is
counted).
Definition of Results
The following tables describe the criteria used when
categorising time expenditure:
Vigorous Activity
Time
The total amount of time when
the activity count exceeds the
‘Vigorous’ calibration threshold.
Moderate Activity
Time
The total amount of time when
the activity count is greater than
or equal to the ‘Moderate’
calibration threshold and is less
than ‘Vigorous’ threshold.
Low Activity Time
The total amount of time when
the activity count is greater than
or equal to the ‘Sedentary’
calibration threshold and is less
than ‘Moderate’ threshold.
Sedentary Activity
Time
The total amount of time when
the activity count is greater than
zero and is less than the
‘Sedentary’ threshold.
