Forty children aged 4\u20136 years (5.3 \u00b1 1.0 years) completed a ~150-min laboratory protocol involving sedentary, light, and moderate- to vigorous-intensity activities. Posture was coded as sit\/lie, stand, walk, or other using direct observation. Posture was classified using the activPAL software. Classification accuracy was evaluated using sensitivity, specificity and area under the receiver operating characteristic curve (ROC-AUC). Time spent in each posture and total number of breaks in SB were compared using paired sample <jats:italic>t<\/jats:italic>-tests. The activPAL showed good classification accuracy for sitting (ROC-AUC = 0.84) and fair classification accuracy for standing and walking (0.76 and 0.73, respectively). Time spent in sit\/lie and stand was overestimated by 5.9% (95% CI = 0.6\u221211.1%) and 14.8% (11.6\u221217.9%), respectively; walking was underestimated by 10.0% (\u221212.9\u22127.0%). Total number of breaks in SB were significantly overestimated (55 \u00b1 27 over the course of the protocol; <jats:italic>p<\/jats:italic> &lt; .01). The activPAL performed well when classifying postures in young children. However, the activPAL has difficulty classifying other postures, such as kneeling. In addition, when predicting time spent in different postures and total number of breaks in SB the activPAL appeared not to be accurate.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1123\/pes.2013-0106","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2014,3,24]],"date-time":"2014-03-24T09:45:16Z","timestamp":1395654316000},"page":"110-117","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":28,"title":["Validation of activPAL Defined Sedentary Time and Breaks in Sedentary Time in 4- to 6-Year-Olds"],"prefix":"10.1123","volume":"26","author":[{"given":"Xanne","family":"Janssen","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"University of Wollongong"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Dylan P.","family":"Cliff","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"University of Wollongong"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"John J.","family":"Reilly","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"University of Strathclyde"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Trina","family":"Hinkley","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Deakin University"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Rachel A.","family":"Jones","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"University of Wollongong"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Marijka","family":"Batterham","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"University of Wollongong"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Ulf","family":"Ekelund","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Norwegian School of Sport Sciences"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Soren","family":"Brage","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Institute of Metabolic Science"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Anthony D.","family":"Okely","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"University of Wollongong"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]}],"member":"100","container-title":["Pediatric Exercise Science"],"original-title":[],"link":[{"URL":"https:\/\/journals.humankinetics.com\/view\/journals\/pes\/26\/1\/article-p110.xml","content-type":"text\/html","content-version":"vor","intended-application":"text-mining"},{"URL":"https:\/\/journals.humankinetics.com\/downloadpdf\/journals\/pes\/26\/1\/article-p110.xml","content-type":"text\/html","content-version":"vor","intended-application":"syndication"},{"URL":"https:\/\/journals.humankinetics.com\/downloadpdf\/journals\/pes\/26\/1\/article-p110.xml","content-type":"unspecified","content-version":"vor","intended-application":"similarity-checking"}],"deposited":{"date-parts":[[2025,8,27]],"date-time":"2025-08-27T23:07:00Z","timestamp":1756336020000},"score":1,"resource":{"primary":{"URL":"https:\/\/journals.humankinetics.com\/view\/journals\/pes\/26\/1\/article-p110.xml"}},"subtitle":[],"short-title":[],"issued":{"date-parts":[[2014,2]]},"references-count":0,"journal-issue":{"issue":"1"},"URL":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1123\/pes.2013-0106","relation":{},"ISSN":["0899-8493","1543-2920"],"issn-type":[{"type":"print","value":"0899-8493"},{"type":"electronic","value":"1543-2920"}],"subject":[],"published":{"date-parts":[[2014,2]]}}}
