TLDR
There was a large variability in accelerometer output and their validity to assess daily physical activity and there is little evidence that adding other physiological measures such as heart rate significantly improves the estimation of energy expenditure.Abstract:
The field of application of accelerometry is diverse and ever expanding. Because by definition all physical activities lead to energy expenditure, the doubly labelled water (DLW) method as gold standard to assess total energy expenditure over longer periods of time is the method of choice to validate accelerometers in their ability to assess daily physical activities. The aim of this paper was to provide a systematic overview of all recent (2007-2011) accelerometer validation studies using DLW as the reference. The PubMed Central database was searched using the following keywords: doubly or double labelled or labeled water in combination with accelerometer, accelerometry, motion sensor, or activity monitor. Limits were set to include articles from 2007 to 2011, as earlier publications were covered in a previous review. In total, 38 articles were identified, of which 25 were selected to contain sufficient new data. Eighteen different accelerometers were validated. There was a large variability in accelerometer output and their validity to assess daily physical activity. Activity type recognition has great potential to improve the assessment of physical activity-related health outcomes. So far, there is little evidence that adding other physiological measures such as heart rate significantly improves the estimation of energy expenditure.read more

Associations Among Free-Living Sedentary and Active Behaviours, Adiposity and Appetite Control Within an Energy Balance Framework
TL;DR: It could be deduced that a combination of increased EE (through exercise) and reduced EI are likely to produce greater weight loss and more favourable changes in body composition than either exercise or diet alone.

TL;DR: Profiling free-living activity using behaviors from across the activity intensity continuum may account for more of the variability in energy expenditure then examining specific activity intensities, such as MVPA alone.

Energy balance, exercise-induced muscle damage, and the efficacy of nutritional interventions on recovery in female dancers
TL;DR: This research provides justification for the use of these supplements as practical interventions, which could be implemented to benefit the day-to-day life of a dancer; not least for promoting recovery, but also contributing to maintaining energy balance.

Obesity and energy balance: What is the role of physical activity?
TL;DR: In most instances, exercise occurring in adequate amounts will increase total daily energy expenditure and create an acute energy deficit, without compensatory decreases in non-exercise physical activity or energy expenditure nor compensatory increases in energy intake.

TL;DR: Nutritional studies including food and beverage consumption assessment are needed for different purposes in the field of nutrition, food supply monitoring, toxicology or in the context of intervention strategies that include changes in eating behaviors.

TL;DR: These are the first population-representative findings on the deleterious associations of prolonged sedentary time with cardio-metabolic and inflammatory biomarkers and suggest that clinical communications and preventive health messages on reducing and breaking up sedentaryTime may be beneficial for cardiovascular disease risk.

TL;DR: In this article, the authors examined the associations of objectively measured sedentary time and physical activity with continuous indexes of metabolic risk in Australian adults without known diabetes, and highlighted the importance of decreasing the amount of time spent in physical activity for metabolic health.
