Background Accelerometry has gained increasing popularity and yields numerous physical activity (PA) outcomes (Rowlands et al., 2019). These include traditional cut-point-based (i.e. light, moderate, and vigorous PA) and cut-point-free metrics (i.e. intensity gradient [IG] and average acceleration [...
