Translating accelerometer counts into energy expenditure: advancing the quest.

Research that uses accelerometers to measure physical activity has expanded exponentially over the past decade. There were approximately 90 papers per year published in 2003 and 2004 compared with fewer than 10 per year in 1993 and 1994 ([6][1]). Since the beginning of the development and
