Abstract

The main objective of the study was to examine the validity of four models of activity wristbands to estimate the daily levels of total physical activity and distance. A sample of 85 high-school and bachelor students participated in the present study. Total physical activity and distance were measured objectively by GT3X + accelerometers (ActiGraph, LLC, Pensacola, FL, USA) placed on the participants' right hip and four activity wristbands (Garmin Vivofit 4, Fitbit High HR, Polar A360 and Xiaomi Mi Band 2) placed on the wrist of the non-dominant hand for a full day. The Xiaomi Mi Band 2, Fitbit High HR and Garmin Vivofit 4 seem to be good instruments for estimating distance. However, to estimate total physical activity only the Xiaomi Mi Band 2 seems to be adequate.
