The purpose of this study was to examine the validity of seven child-specific ActiGraph prediction equations/cut points (Crouter vector magnitude two-regression model [Cvm2RM], Crouter vertical axis two-regression model [Cva2RM], Freedson child equation, Treuth equation, Trost equation, Puyau equation, and Evenson equation) for estimating energy expenditure and time spent in sedentary behaviors, light physical activity (LPA), moderate physical activity (MPA), and vigorous physical activity (VPA).
