Energy Expenditure in Critically Ill Children
Energy expenditure in critically ill children is a key determinant for nutritional caloric delivery in critically ill children. However, its methods of measurement are poorly available, and its prediction is unreliable and imprecise with currently available methodology. This thesis seeks to better …

The Effects of Playing Exergames on Energy Expenditure
… of perceived exertion, metabolic responses, and energy expenditure as individuals participated in interactive video game play. There were 14 participants that participated in the study, whose age was 20.1 ± 1.64 years of age. Participants completed a maximal aerobic test to exhaustion (VO2max …

Analysis of MIT's past and future energy expenditure/
… to expand its facilities, the amount of energy required to run those facilities will also increase. An analysis of future energy usage allows for energy saving systems to be planned before the facilities are complete, and implementation can be started before the energy has been spent. …

Prediction of Non-Resting Energy Expenditure using Accelerometry
The accurate measurement of total energy expenditure is a cornerstone of metabolic research. However, there is a lack of measurement methods that are valid, objective, inexpensive, and easy to use. Accelerometry, along with validated prediction equations for resting energy requirements, may provide …

Effects of exercise on hunger, food intake and energy expenditure
… acute and chronic effects of exercise on hunger, energy intake and expenditure. Cross-sectional studies examined the effect of 60 min of moderate-intensity cycling on immediate and subsequent three day energy intake and expenditure in active and inactive men (study one) and women not using …

Evaluation of Metabolic Energy Expenditure During Prolonged Steady-State Exercise
Energy consumed during prolonged steady state exercise was partitioned to radiant, convective and evaporative heat and the energy for climbing and walking. Healthy, non-obese subjects, ages 20 to 35 years, were classified as 5 active males, 5 trained males, 5 active females and 5 trained females. …

Blood Lactate Predicts Resting Energy Expenditure in Non-Obese Caucasian Females
… limited, we believed it would reduce the resting energy expenditure (REE), and potentially propel an individual toward obesity and related metabolic disease(s). Purpose: The purpose of the study was to investigate if plasma lactate can be used to predict resting energy expenditure in non-obese …

Application and development of indirect measures of free-living energy expenditure
… accuracy in measuring free-living total daily energy expenditure (TDEE), by examining existing indirect measures of energy expenditure (EE) measurement and further, developing new techniques, for improved accuracy and application, in population-based studies. In a number of the studies, the …

Assessing activity energy expenditure from body-worn sensors during free-living
… it is useful to use this data to assess activity energy expenditure, which requires development of inference models. This thesis describes the derivation and evaluation of models to estimate activity energy expenditure from acceleration data collected at either wrist or thigh. Two fundamentally …

Evaluation of resting energy expenditure in sarcoma patients with localized disease
Increased resting energy expenditure has been postulated to be one of the contributory factors in the development of cancer cachexia. Body composition and resting energy expenditure were evaluated in six male and seven female normal controls in order to validate methodology. Identical methods were …

Measuring and Predicting Total Energy Expenditure Among Highly Active Humans in Natural Environments
<p>The current model for predicting human total energy expenditure (TEE), the Factorial Method, significantly underestimates actual TEE, particularly among highly active populations. In this study, the Allocation Model is presented for predicting TEE. Unlike the Factorial Method, the Allocation …

Using machine learning for real-time activity recognition and estimation of energy expenditure
… have a poor understanding of their own daily energy (im)balance: the number of calories they consume from food compared with what they expend through physical activity. Accelerometers offer promise as an objective measure of physical activity. In prior work they have been used to estimate …

Technology in ecology: determining the location, behaviour, and energy expenditure of free-ranging carnivores
… locomotion of pumas and estimate the daily energy expenditure of wild pumas in steep terrains. I show that wild pumas adapt their behaviours to maintain low locomotion costs through traversing, to decrease their path angle, and by walking slowly on steep inclines.<br/><br/>This thesis …

Paternal diet and exercise epigenetically program energy expenditure and glucose metabolism in mouse offspring
… fathers (CF) // high-fat fathers (FF); 60% of energy derived from fat // control-diet fathers with exercise wheel (EF). After 12 weeks of a high-fat diet (HFD) or free-wheel running F₀ males from each group were mated with control females. At 4 weeks of age their male offspring (F₁) were …

Factors affecting energy expenditure and the efficiency of fuel utilization : feeding and exercise models
… human responses to short-term perturbations in energy balance brought about through food energy restriction and refeeding, exercise training and the cessation of exercise training or surgical lipectomy. The second aim of this dissertation was to identify factors which might explain differences …

Novel nutritional interventions in the manipulation of energy expenditure and blood glucose regulation in humans
… has previously shown effects on components of energy balance and blood glucose regulation. Studies of their supplementation among humans are none (in case of L-Histidine) or very limited (in case of EGCG supplementation). The studies presented herein are novel as there have been no previous …

Analysis of exercise intensity and energy expenditure of women participating in the Curves exercise program.
… study was to identify exercise intensity, HR and energy expenditure in a group of women participating in the Curves program. Seventy-eight women (53.6 ± 7.09 yrs, 192.1 ± 30.43 pounds, 43.5 ± 4.52 % fat) performed the Curves workout on two occasions. Results show that mean HR was 119 ± 15 b/min …
