This study was conducted in three parts. First, the literature was systematically reviewed to identify physical activity concepts and activity monitors used in heart failure research. Second, an additional scoping literature search for validation of these activity monitors was conducted. Third, the most appropriate criteria in the selection of activity monitors were identified. Nine activity monitors were evaluated in terms of size, weight, placement, costs, data storage, water resistance, outcomes and validation, and cut-off points for physical activity intensity levels were discussed. The choice of a monitor should depend on the research aims, study population and design regarding physical activity. If the aim is to motivate patients to be active or set goals, a less rigorously tested tool can be considered. On the other hand, if the aim is to measure physical activity and its changes over time or following treatment adjustment, it is important to choose a valid activity monitor with a storage and battery longevity of at least one week. The device should provide raw data and valid cut-off points should be chosen for analysing physical activity intensity levels. Other considerations in choosing an activity monitor should include data storage location and ownership and the upfront costs of the device. | URI: | https://hdl.handle.net/20.500.14279/22884 | ISSN: | 18790844 | DOI: | 10.1002/ejhf.2035 | Rights: | This is an open access article under the terms of the Creative Commons Attribution-NonCommercial License | Type: | Article | Affiliation : | Linköping University Cyprus University of Technology Nicosia General Hospital Cardiology, G. da Saliceto Hospital Monash University University of Warwick Hospital Lariboisière University of Antwerp Belgian Health Care Knowledge Polyclinique de Poitiers University of Valencia University of Zurich Careggi University Hospital National Institute of Cardiology Federal State Budgetary Institution University of Leeds Doncaster and Bassetlaw Teaching Hospitals IRCCS San Raffaele Pisana University Medical Center Utrecht |
