Sensor->picks up the amplitude and frequency of movement->produces an electrical current of various magnitude (more intense the movement the greater the voltage) Stores the information as activity counts->converted to aee/mets based on default or predetermined cut points. Inverse relationship once you change a sedentary profile go from high to low, most activity by default to light activity.
