Introduction

ActiLife 5 analysis software package supports the GT1M, GT3X, GT3X-plus, ActiSleep Monitor (ASM), and ActiTrainer

activity monitors. The program provides a means to configure these activity monitors (initialize) as well as download

and analyze the data collected by the devices.

Wearing the Device

All ActiGraph activity monitors are designed to monitor human activity and record energy expenditure (calories spent

during normal activity, METs, everyday activity, and exercise). Additionally, these devices can also function as a very

accurate sleep assessment tool

. While collecting day-to-day energy expenditure data, the device should be affixed

securely to the body’s center-of-mass to ensure the most accurate caloric measurements. Wrist worn (nonvalidated) EE

for kids is now available for 3-axis actigraphs. When being used for sleep assessment, the ActiGraph device may be worn

anywhere on the body: wrist, waist (hip), arm, or ankle.

Note: It is not safe to wear the ActiGraph while it is charging.

To use the elastic waist belt, lace the belt through the side loops of the actigraph device and secure the belt around the

waist. The unit can be worn either above or beneath clothing, and it is not necessary for the device to make contact

with the skin. However, the device must be held snugly against the body to prevent erroneous readings. To use the

belt clip, attach the clip to the back of the actigraph using the double-sided adhesive strip and attach the unit securely to

a belt on the subject’s hip.

Note: The belt clip adheres permanently to the ActiGraph. Once the belt clip is attached to the

back of the Actigraph, you will not be able to wear it on the elastic belt comfortably. It is

important to determine which method is best for you before the belt clip is attached to the back

of the Actigraph.

It is recommended that children under 12 years of age wear the Actigraphs on the elastic belt (versus the adhesive belt

clip) as it is the most secure way to wear the device. Belt loop pouches, wrist and ankle straps are also available.

The same recommendations apply to the ActiTrainer: the device should be worn on the waist using the supplied

neoprene pouch and belt for normal, daily activity but can be worn on the wrist, ankle, or upper arm for sleep

Sleep analysis can also be performed by purchasing ActiGraph’s ActiSleep analysis program, which is part of the Virtual Trainer, web-based,

analysis software. Formulas for this tool were developed by Dr. Avi Sadeh. Department of Psychology, Tel Aviv University.
