Seeking Volunteers to Participate in Study to Improve Wearable Activity Tracker Algorithms

The Physical Activity and Health Lab at UMass Amherst is seeking healthy adults, 18 to 65 years old, for a study on activity monitors. Participants will be asked to wear various activity monitors while completing activities in the laboratory and during their everyday routine for up to seven days. The total time commitment during the first laboratory visit is about two hours.

Participants will be compensated up to $40 in Amazon gift cards as a token of our appreciation for participating and, if interested, may receive results from the study related to resting metabolism, cardiorespiratory fitness or behavioral activity patterns.
