Comparison of equations for predicting energy expenditure from accelerometer counts in children

TL;DR: Examining the degree of agreement between three different prediction equations, when applied to data on physical activity in a large sample of children, found predicted physical activity energy expenditure (PAEE) differed substantially between equations, depending on time‐frame assumptions.
Journal ArticleDOI

Monitoring population levels of physical activity and sedentary time in Norway across the lifespan.

TL;DR: A comprehensive description of objectively measured PA, sedentary time, and prevalence of meeting PA recommendations, in a population‐based sample of Norwegian children, adolescents and adults is provided.
Journal ArticleDOI

Increased physical activity in abdominally obese women through support for changed commuting habits: a randomized clinical trial

TL;DR: Abdominally obese women can increase PA long-term through moderate-intensity behavioural support aimed at changing commuting habits through cycling and walking to and from work.
Journal ArticleDOI

National trends in total cholesterol obscure heterogeneous changes in HDL and non-HDL cholesterol and total-to-HDL cholesterol ratio : a pooled analysis of 458 population-based studies in Asian and Western countries

Cristina Taddei, +362 more
TL;DR: In this article, the authors compared trends in total, HDL and non-HDL cholesterol and the total to HDL cholesterol ratio in Asian and Western countries, with only a weak correlation with changes in total cholesterol (TC), HDL cholesterol (HDL) or non- HDL cholesterol.

Energy compensation and adiposity in humans

Vincent Careau, +90 more
- 25 Oct 2021 - 
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors used the largest dataset compiled on adult TEE and basal energy expenditure (BEE) of people living normal lives to find that energy compensation by a typical human averages 28% due to reduced BEE; this suggests that only 72% of the extra calories we burn from additional activity translates into extra calories burned that day.
