Human Activity Recognition (HAR) is focused on Activities of Daily Living and developed in the health and human security fields. The HAR concept was introduced in previous research using multi-sensor devices. In their implementation, wearable devices require computational and real-time environmental limitations. This paper proposed a new approach for HAR using a machine learning-based single-sensor accelerometer. This research aimed to determine the performance of machine learning in HAR using three Feature Subsets: Feature Subset Signal Vector Magnitude (SMA), Feature Subset Fast Fourier Transform (FFT), and Feature Subset Value-Crossing. In features selection, ANOVA was used to reduce feature dimensionality. The experimental results have been assessed using the confusion matrix to prove that the proposed model can achieve an optimal accuracy of 0.97, higher than several state-of-the-art approaches. The optimal sensitivity and specificity values have been 0.98 and 0.99 and are partially higher than previous studies using similar testing scenarios.
