There are three physical activity objective monitors and a single combined wear log covering both monitors.
ActiGraph
The ActiGraph GT3X physical activity monitor measures acceleration in 3 axis, body position, and ambulation (steps). Participants wore the ActiGraph GT3X monitor two times during the study with six months between administrations. The monitor was placed on an elastic belt and participants were instructed to wear the belt on their waist with the monitor positioned over their right hip, directly under the right armpit. Participants were asked to wear the ActiGraph GT3X monitors all day, including naptimes, for seven days, and to remove the monitors when showering, bathing, and swimming and for bed at night. Participants were asked to wear the monitor for seven days, but some participants chose to wear the monitor for additional days beyond the specified week.
ActiGraph GT3X monitor data are provided in three formats: by 60-second, 10-second and 1 second epoch.
A small portion of the raw one second ActiGraph data is not included in the 10 second and 60 second summaries. The first 7 days of data (the protocol period) are always kept. Days outside the first week may be kept if the physical activity log indicates continued wear.

ACTIGRAPH 10 & 60–SECOND EPOCH DATA
- Date and time
- Vector Magnitude (total acceleration per epoch, calculated as the sum over 10 seconds of the 1 second vector magnitude)
- Inclinometer (orientation of monitor)
- Accumulated steps per epoch
- Vertical, horizontal and perpendicular axis acceleration data
- Status: continuous walking/running, intermittent lying/sitting
- Energy Expenditure value (EE) and METS calculated by the Crouter two-regression model on one axis (EE is not in 60-second data)
- Wear log data – information provided by the participant about when they wore the device and reason for removing it. This data was entered by the participant and may differ from the monitor.
ACTIGRAPH 1-SECOND EPOCH DATA
- Date and time (HH:MM:SS with hours 0-23)
- Vector Magnitude (total acceleration per epoch, calculated as: vector magnitude = square root of (axis12 + axis22 + axis32))
- Inclinometer (orientation of device)
- Accumulated steps per epoch
- Vertical, horizontal and perpendicular axis acceleration data

ActivPAL
The ActivPAL 3 physical activity monitor measures acceleration, body position, and ambulation (steps). Participants wore the ActivPAL 3 monitor two times during the study with six months between administrations. The monitor was placed on an adhesive patch and participants were instructed to attach the patch to the skin on the front of their right thigh, about a third of the way between the hip and knee. Participants were asked to wear the ActivPAL 3 monitors all day and night, including during sleep, for seven days, and to remove the monitors when showering, bathing, and swimming. Participants were asked to wear the monitor for seven days, but some participants chose to wear the monitor for additional days beyond the specified week. Instrument data has been processed by PALanalysis (v. 8.4.9.19) for the TEAL algorithm and PALbatch (v. 8.11.1.63) for the CREA algorithm.
Data are provided in two formats for both algorithms, 15-second epoch and activity event, while CREA has supporting day and admin summaries.

Physical Activity Log
This dataset contains the raw information from the physical activity log, which lists information about when each participant wore the ActivPal and ActiGraph devices. There is one record for each day the participant filled out the wear log.

| Summary |
Available Data |
- Log of wearing monitors
- ~950 participants
|
- Date of the form, and day of the week
- Times for when the participant got out of bed, put on each device for the first time, intervals during the day when the device was not worn, the time the participant took off the device at the end of the day, and when they went to bed.

HRM
The Heart Rate Monitor is a monitor that measures heart rate and interbeat intervals. The monitor was worn by a participants in a subset of the IDATA study. Participants were asked to wear the device once for seven days and to fill out a wear log. The Heart Rate Monitor was supposed to be worn at all times, including swimming or showering.
Heart Rate Monitor data are provided in three formats: by Long Source, Short Source, and Wear Log.
