Individual characteristics associated with mismatches between self-reported and accelerometer-measured physical activity.

<h4>Background</h4>Accurate assessment tools are required for the surveillance of physical activity (PA) levels and the assessment of the effect of interventions. In addition, increasing awareness of PA is often used as the first step in pragmatic behavioural interventions, as discrepanc...
