TLDR
This Youth Compendium of Physical Activities uses pediatric data exclusively, addresses the age dependency of METy, and imputes missing METy values and thus represents advancement in physical activity research and practice.
Abstract
PurposeA Youth Compendium of Physical Activities (Youth Compendium) was developed to estimate the energy costs of physical activities using data on youth only.MethodsOn the basis of a literature search and pooled data of energy expenditure measurements in youth, the energy costs of 196 activ
