Development and evaluation of wrist- and thigh-worn accelerometer algorithms using self-training machine learning models for classification of activity type and posture: towards device placement-agnostic methods in the ProPASS consortium Open
Background Wearable accelerometers are widely used in health research, but differing placements (e.g. wrist vs. thigh) hinder harmonising activity classification across studies. Prior studies report 1.5- to 2.0-fold differences in physical…

From Single Movement Behaviors to Complete 24‐h Behaviors Profiles and Multiple Health Outcomes—A Cross‐Sectional Study Using Accelerometry Open
Movement behaviors research has evolved from focusing on single behaviors to multiple behaviors within a 24‐h perspective. However, it is unknown if 24‐h movement behavior profiles are consistently associated across multiple health outcome…

Benefits and harms of exercise therapy and physical activity for low back pain: An umbrella review Open
There is low-to-moderate certainty that exercise therapy and leisure-time PA are beneficial for improving pain and preventing the recurrence of LBP. However, evidence on the potential harms of these interventions is limited, and adverse ev…
