Measures of substrate oxidation have traditionally been calculated from indirect calorimetry
measurements using stoichiometric equations. Although this has proven to be a solid …

Measurement of energy expenditure in humans is required to assess metabolic needs, fuel
utilisation, and the relative thermic effect of different food, drink, drug and emotional …

A calibration study was conducted to determine the threshold counts for two commonly used
accelerometers, the ActiGraph and the Actical, to classify activities by intensity in children 5 …

Purpose We investigate the effects of 12-week interval training of moderate-or high-intensity
exercise on blood lipids and plasma levels of adiponectin. Methods Thirty-four obese …

Purpose: The study aims were: 1) to assess the technical reliability and validity of the
GENEA using a mechanical shaker, 2) to perform a GENEA value calibration to develop …

We have recently developed a simple algorithm for the classification of household and
locomotive activities using the ratio of unfiltered to filtered synthetic acceleration (gravity …

Purpose Consumer-based physical activity (PA) monitors are popular for individual tracking
of PA variables. However, current research has not examined how these monitors track …

Objective: Obesity rates in young children are increasing, and decreased physical activity is
likely to be a major contributor to this trend. Studies of physical activity in young children are …

OBJECTIVES: The purpose of the study was to establish activity intensity cut-points for the
GENEA accelerometer via calibration with oxygen consumption (V˙⁡ O2). DESIGN: The …

Accurate quantification of physical activity energy expenditure is a key part of the effort to
understand disorders of energy metabolism. The Actiheart, a combined heart rate (HR) and …
