Table 4 Descriptive statistics of the BONES physical activity survey and accelerometry data (n = 34)

From: Development and testing of the BONES physical activity survey for young children

Indicators

Mean ± SD

BONES physical activity survey (PAS):

   Moderate-high MET score

22.62 ± 10.07

   High MET score

16.15 ± 7.41

   Weight-bearing scorea

4.28 ± 2.19

Accelerometry (Sum of two days):

   Total counts

633302.50 ± 179639.90

   Total minutes worn

1494.03 ± 171.94

   Counts/minute

854.69 ± 232.90

   Minutes of:

I: Moderate activity (3-6 METs)

260.71 ± 77.18

II: Vigorous activity (6-9 METs)

20.25 ± 12.96

III: Very vigorous activity (> 9 METs)

5.49 ± 6.36

I + II + III: Total moderate-vigorous PA; (MPVA; ≥ 3 METs)

286.44 ± 88.09

II + III: Total vigorous PA (VPA; ≥ 6 METs)

25.74 ± 17.54

  1. PAS: MET: Metabolic equivalent time; SD: Standard deviation; PA: Physical activities
  2. a Weight-bearing score was calculated by adding the weight-bearing factor (WBF) of the reported activities (See Table 1)
