Participation in at least 30 min of moderate intensity activity on most days is assumed to
confer health benefits. This study accordingly determined whether the more vigorous …

Studies using a triaxial accelerometer and heart rate (HR) simultaneously for estimating
energy expenditure (EE) during uphill exercise are rare. Exploring the optimal location for …

This study measured the energy expenditure of four self-paced household and garden tasks
to determine whether 55-to 65-year-old men performed them at a moderate intensity 3–6 …

Active lifestyles are beneficial to health and well-being but our workplaces may not be
inherently supportive of physical activity at work. With the increasing use of technology in the …

This study determined whether some of the more vigorous household and garden tasks
(sweeping, window cleaning, vacuuming and lawn mowing) were performed at a moderate …

Since energy expenditure (EE) has been proven an effective representation of physiological
demands, field EE measurement enables us to assess worker's physical demands from …

Objective Although high intensity physical activities may represent a great proportion of the
total energy expenditure in active people, only sparse studies have investigated the …

Physical inactivity has been identified as a major cause of overweight and obesity in
children. Objective: To determine and compare the intensity of physical activity and energy …

Background/objective The application of Micro-Electro-Mechanical Sensors (MEMS) as
measurements of energy expenditure (EE) has certain disadvantages. For example, the …

Methods Children (N= 63; Mean age= 6.3) participated in a 45-minute protocol ranging in
intensities from sedentary to vigorous activity. Actiheart-5 was used as a comparison …
