abstract: Provides functions to calculate step- and cadence-based metrics from timestamped
  accelerometer and wearable device data. Supports CSV and AGD files from 'ActiGraph'
  devices, CSV files from 'Fitbit' devices, and step counts derived with R package
  'GGIR' <https://github.com/wadpac/GGIR>, with automatic handling of epoch lengths
  from 1 to 60 seconds. Metrics include total steps, cadence peaks, minutes and steps
  in predefined cadence bands, and time and steps in moderate-to-vigorous physical
  activity (MVPA). Methods and thresholds are informed by the literature, e.g., Tudor-Locke
  and Rowe (2012) <https://doi.org/10.2165/11599170-000000000-00000>, Barreira et
  al. (2012) <https://doi.org/10.1249/MSS.0b013e318254f2a3>, and Tudor-Locke et al.
  (2018) <https://doi.org/10.1136/bjsports-2017-097628>. The package record is also
  available on Zenodo (2023) <https://doi.org/10.5281/zenodo.7858094>.
