Published: Dec. 8, 2022

Consistent physical activity is key for health and well-being, but it vulnerable to stressors. The process of recovering from such stressors bouncing back the previous state can be referred as resilience. Quantifying resilience fundamental assess manage impact on consistent activity. In this tutorial, we present a method quantify data. We leverage prior operationalization resilience, used in various psychological domains, area under curve expand suit characteristics time series. As use case illustrate methodology, quantified step count series (length = 366 observations) eight participants following first COVID-19 lockdown stressor. Steps were assessed daily using wrist-worn devices. methodology implemented R all coding details are included. For each person's series, fitted multiple growth models identified best one Root Mean Squared Error (RMSE). Then, predicted values selected model identify point when participant recovered stressor resulting measure count. Further features extracted capture different aspects process. By developing methodological guide with step-by-step implementation, aimed at fostering increased awareness about concept facilitate implementation related research.
