Up to my knowledge, there is not any app to assess sedentary behaviour. However, it seems that ActivePAL is developing technology (SitFIT) to assess sedentary behaviour in an specific way.

Hi Senthil,

i wokld recommend you take take a look a the following review paper by Schoeppe et al (2017) Article Apps to improve diet, physical activity and sedentary behavi...

They actually note 7 mobile apps, specifically focussed on sedentary behaviour. I hope this helps

Dear researcher,

Please look at this article:

http://www.sedentarybehaviour.org/2014/07/17/smartphone-app-aimed-at-reducing-sedentary-time/

I believe that you will benfit from it.

Good luck

The activPAL is perfect at differentiating between upright position and sitting/lying down. See:

Grant PM, Ryan CG, Tigbe WW, Granat MH. The validation of a novel activity monitor in the measurement of posture and motion during everyday activities. Br J Sports Med. 2006 Dec;40(12):992-7.

Ryan CG, Grant PM, Tigbe WW, Granat MH. The validity and reliability of a novel activity monitor as a measure of walking. Br J Sports Med. 2006 Sep;40(9):779-84.

I have gone through the article on activPAL.

I am interested in proceeding with the same.

will they provide research grant?

Hi Senthil. I doubt if Palthechnologies can sponsor your research but you may want to contact them directly. Best wishes. William
