TL;DR
Estimation models that relate hip and wrist accelerometer data to energy expenditure (EE) in field and laboratory settings are established and the small amount of additional accuracy gained from the wrist accelerometers is offset by the extra time required to analyze the data and the cost of the accelerometer.

760 Citations2000D. L. Hendelman, Kelly J. Miller +3 more
The count versus METs relationship for accelerometry was found to be dependent on the type of activity performed, which may be due to the inability of accelerometers to detect increased energy cost from upper body movement, load carriage, or changes in surface or terrain.
