Energy expenditure estimated by accelerometry and doubly labeled water: Do they agree?
Article Abstract:
Energy expenditure derived from regression equations determined from accelerometry is compared with energy expenditure obtained from the doubly labeled water method (DLW). It is found that out off the 14 different regression equations from the literature, only two developed for actigraph (ACT) compared favorably with DLW, though the difference in total daily energy expenditure (TDEE) between these two methods was variable and rather large, thus reemphasizing the difficulty in converting body movement into energy expenditure on an individual basis from accelerometry.

Exercise and diet in obesity treatment: an integrative system dynamics perspective
Article Abstract:
Research shows that physical activity, diet, and body composition interact in the prevention and management of obesity. Results suggest that knowing the quantitative imbalance between energy consumption and energy expenditure and modifying weight gain behaviors help prevent obesity. A computer-based System Dynamics model is presented.
