Research Abstract |
The purpose of this study is to investigate whether it is possible to judge a degree of mood change like depression based on the pattern of physical activity in university students. At first, in order to inquire the availability a device which is popular and relatively cheap, simultaneous measurement during 1 or two days in 6 students was done using two devices of the actigraph and the popular one. There is only low relation between the measurements of the two devices during daytime. Therefore, we think that it is not suitable to use the popular device, in order to measure daytime activity of the students. Consequently we cease the population study of mental state and physical activity measured using the popular device in students.
