Energy expenditure by heart rate in children: an evaluation of calibration techniques

Article Abstract:

Lengthy and complex calibration procedures have been found to be unnecessary in most cases for estimating Flex heat rate (Flex HR) total energy expenditure (TEE), especially in sedentary children. A study was carried out to evaluate the impact of applying seven calibration equations to the estimation of free-living TEE over 2-3 days in seven boys. The Flex HR method was used.

The energy cost of horizontal walking and running in adolescents

Article Abstract:

Forty-seven male and 35 female adolescents were studied to determine the relationship between energy use and walking and running. Results indicated a linear relationship between running and energy but a curvilinear relationship for walking. Speed and mode were more determinative for energy variation than were gender, age and height factors.

Whole-body energy mapping under physical exercise using positron emission tomography

Article Abstract:

This study uses three-dimensional positron emission tomography to map glucose utilization in human organs during aerobic exercise. Results indicate that elevated energy consumption in the heart and leg muscles during exercise were compensated by a decrease in abdominal energy consumption.
