Review and discuss each of the following 4 types of actigraphic devices: pedometers, accelerometers, heart rate monitors, and combined heart rate and body movement (pedometers or accelerometers) monitors

Write a critical review of around 3,000 words (± 300 words) on the essay topic outlined

below. You will need to do some background reading of original scientific papers on

these topics for this essay. Aim for around 8 fully cited and relevant references. At least

half of the references should be original research papers published in peer reviewed

international journals, but references can include your textbook (Guyton and Hall),

other physiology textbooks, and relevant review articles. Students can use good quality

original research articles even if they were published a decade or more ago. Your essay

should be clearly focussed on the topic, deal with its central concerns, reflect critical

reading of the relevant literature, and offer concisely written and well reasoned

arguments

 

 

  • You may include tables, diagrams, etc. if you wish. These may be photocopied from their (acknowledged) sources.
  • Your writing style should be direct and economical, and all references to which you refer must be listed in a bibliography at the end. This bibliography must list author(s), title, and full details of the reference.
  • Use section headings and sub-headings to help in achieving a clear presentation.

 

Essay Topic Actigraphic devices are increasingly being used to monitor exercise and other daily activities. Review and discuss each of the following 4 types of actigraphic devices: pedometers, accelerometers, heart rate monitors, and combined heart rate and body movement (pedometers or accelerometers) monitors. Ensure that you discuss each the following in your essay:

  • The physical and physiological principles by which each of the 4 different types of actigraphic sensors listed above work.
  • The relative advantages and disadvantages of the different types of actigraphic devices (especially accuracy, but where applicable also discuss issues such as cost and ease of use).
  • The usefulness of actigraphic monitoring (current and future potential).
