Although the validity of the physical activity questionnaire is low, the questionnaire is still the most commonly used measurement tool for physical activity research in China in the past 10 years. In the era of big data, research in the field of physical activity in China needs to be more effective, economical, convenient, and suitable for long-term, large-sample research tools. Acceleration detection technology, heart rate detection technology, and GPS technology are the mainstream technologies for measuring the energy consumption of physical activity in wearable devices. The application of data mining and machine learning methods further enhances the validity of the test. Domestic smart wearable devices are not effective in estimating energy consumption but still have a large space for technical improvement. Smart wearable devices have a very broad application prospect in the field of big data research in physical activity. The impact of smart wearable device technology and big data analysis methods on physical activity research will be far-reaching and may lead to major changes in research concepts, research tools, and data analysis methods.
