Behavioural measures

Behavioural measuresDefinitions
Activity
 Active eventa (count)Active event number per 24 h.
 Inactive duration (hours)Total duration spent inactive [<40 mg average acceleration (g, units of gravity acceleration)] per 24 h, excluding sleep.
 MVPA duration (hours)Total duration spent in moderate- and vigorous physical activity per 24 h (>644 mg of acceleration magnitude, e.g. moderate paced walking or leisure activities like light bicycling).
 M6 intensity (mg)Intensity of the most active 6 min in 24 h (g, units of gravity acceleration).
 Average cadence (steps/day)The mean walking cadence (steps/minute) per 24 h.
 Peak cadence (steps/day)The 95th percentile of walking cadence per 24 h, i.e. the walking speed when walking purposefully.
 Activity volume (mg·s)Activity volume = sum of durations × mean acceleration for each event (g·s, units of gravity acceleration seconds) per 24 h.
Sleep
 Total sleep duration (hours)Total sleep duration within rest interval.
 Sleep efficiency (%)Percentage of sleep within rest interval.
 WASO countWake after sleep onset—number of inactive and active events (>10 s length) of non-sleep taking place during the sleep interval.
 Number of sleep events (count)Discrete sleep events and postures within rest interval.
