Details of the data collection, processing, and refinement of all three structures are summarized in Table 1.
Details of the data collection, processing and storage of data into files are included with the data set, including scripts useful for processing the data.
Based on the results of our analyses, few investigators report the information necessary to be compliant with all of the recommended guidelines for data collection, processing and reporting of PA obtained from continuous monitoring technologies.
As pedometer and accelerometer use has increased, researchers have recognized the need to establish a set of standards and recommendations for procedures involving data collection, processing and reporting of the complex data that are obtained from these continuous monitoring devices.
We build on a case study to highlight the concrete process of data collection, processing, and analysis.
After the data collection, processing and modeling of spatiotemporal and other spatial data were conducted in MS Access, MS Excel, and a Geographic Information System (GIS).
The data collection, processing and evaluating of the results were performed according to the existing legislation and in accordance with the Declaration of Helsinki.
The purpose of this systematic review was to compare the reporting of continuous monitoring variables in the PA literature involving Hispanic samples to the published guidelines regarding data collection, processing and reporting of continuous PA monitoring.
Although a vexing problem across the realm of PA research, inconsistent standards of data collection, processing and reporting can have a larger impact on the study of PA in specific population subgroups such as Hispanics and Latinos [ 6].
The World Health Organisation (WHO) defines a Health Information System (HIS) as " a system that integrates data collection, processing, reporting, and use of the information necessary for improving health service effectiveness and efficiency through better management at all levels of health services" [ 1].
