Wavelength x is then calibrated against manual measurement such that x/xauto = 2.21. Dune celerity c is found using the distance d from the origin to the peak of a cross-correlation η(t) ⋆ η(t + τlag) such that c = d/τlag. Since dunes slow down over time...
AimThe aim of this review is to summarise issues surrounding the measurement of physical activity (PA) by self-report and accelerometry in youth (2–18 years old). Current levels and temporal trends in PA and sport participation and the effect of assessment method on data interpretation will be...
