The first study of this dissertation evaluated the accuracy of the Fitbit Surge (FBS), Garmin Vvofit (GVF), and SenseWear armband (SWA) in measuring energy expenditure (EE), heart rate (HR), and steps during treadmill and cycling activities performed at two intensities in healthy, physically active individuals. In the second study, the monitors were evaluated in measuring EE and HR during a gym-based routine that included aerobic and resistance training activities performed by healthy, physically active participants.
