The effects of interval walking on caloric expenditure
Purpose: As obesity rates continue to rise in physically inactive individuals, modified training methods should be explored to address exercise adherence. The purposes of the proposed studies were to evaluate the effectiveness of interval walking, intermittent interval walking, and self-paced …

Analysis of the Caloric Expenditure of Students in Middle School Physical Education Classes
… The purpose of the study was to assess the caloric expenditure of students in middle school physical education classes to determine if they were expending a sufficient amount of calories in physical education classes to meet the minimum healthy activity recommendations. More specifically, …

Analysis of exercise intensity and energy expenditure of women participating in the Curves exercise program.
… 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 which was …

The comparative effects of a 12-week high impact aerobic dance and bench step training program on isokinetic strength, power, and endurance of the quadriceps
… been to examine cardiovascular improvements and caloric expenditure during these activities. Therefore, the purpose of this study was to examine the effects of exercise mode on isokinetic strength, power, and endurance of the quadriceps. Twenty-nine non-smoking, free from history of knee …

Effects of Motivational Interviewing on Levels of Physical Activity in Older Adults
… frequency of physical activity and total weekly caloric expenditure from physical activity at post-treatment than participants in the control group. The treatment effects were not maintained at six-month follow-up; however, there was a protective factor of the intervention in that participants in …

Effects of chronic suboptimal energy intake on constant-load exercise in young women
… in women age 19-24 years. Ten controls (average caloric intake ~ 35 kcal/kg body weight) and 10 subjects with suboptimal energy intake (average caloric intake - 25 kcal/kg body weight) were matched for age, exercise caloric expenditure and percentage of HB-predicted RMR. Subjects (n=20) completed …

Landscape Visibility and Prehistoric Artifact Distribution at Pea Ridge National Military Park
… closely relate the availability of water and caloric expenditure required to travel across the landscape to a majority of the prehistoric material at the park. The report also explores seasonal expressions of land use at Pea Ridge. The goal of this project is to explore the relationship …

A comparison of physical activity (high and low) and bone mineral density in young, healthy, eumenorrheic females
… body composition, nutritional intake, and caloric expenditure were obtained. The high physical activity group had significantly greater BMD than the low physical activity group at all measurement sites. After adjusting for weight, the significance between the physical activity groups …

The elevation of metabolic rate after combined arm-and-leg versus leg-only exercise
… difference (p>O.05) in excess post-exercise caloric expenditure during the recovery period as a result of the different exercise treatments. Therefore, this suggests that neither exercise modality nor the distribution of work over a larger muscle mass had an effect on EPOC when exercise …

The Effects of a Uniformly Weighted Exercise Suit on Biomarkers of Bone Turnover in Response to Aerobic Exercise in Postmenopausal Women with Low Bone Density
… maximum heart rate until they reached their goal caloric expenditure (400kcal). There was a seven-day washout period between sessions. Serum was processed using ELISA protocols to investigate the change in biomarker at 24 and 72 hours post exercise, relative to baseline. The results indicated, …

The effects of light versus moderate exercise added to diet control in a weight reduction program for overweight college women
… held one time per week which prescribed a caloric intake based on body weight to result in a 1000 kcal•day⁻¹ dietary deficit. Exercise groups were asked to also attend three exercise sessions each week. In addition to a warm up and cool down, LX exercised at a heart rate corresponding to …

The Relationship Between Physical Activity Level and Bone Mineral Status in Adolescent Males
… body composition, nutritional intake and caloric expenditure were obtained. Analysis of covariance (ANCOVA) was used to determine differences between high and low active groups within each level of maturation (prepubescent, post-pubescent). The dependent variables were BMC and BMD of the …

Evaluation of Neuromuscular Electrical Stimulation as a Bone Loss Countermeasure on a Long Duration Mars Mission
… added as exercise is time consuming, incurs high caloric demands, and future spacecraft will be unable to accommodate the current machines. Therefore, to minimize the risk of musculoskeletal related injuries, additional skeletal loading should be introduced via non-exercise based countermeasures. …

Cellular and Molecular Mechanisms Underlying Leptin's Metabolic Effects
… nutrient intake relative to total energy expenditure. While many have focused on the importance of caloric consumption in determining weight, it is increasingly clear that differences in energy expenditure, basal metabolic rates and/or adaptive thermogenesis are also important variables …

Reliability and Validity of a Multi-Sensor Armband in Estimating Resting and Exercise Energy Expenditure
… compared to indirect calorimetry (IC). Energy expenditure (EE) was assessed with SWA and IC in 13 males during two resting and one cycle ergometry (40 min at 60% VO<sub>2peak</sub>) sessions. In a second experiment, 20 adults walked on a treadmill for 30 min at 3 intensities while IC and SWA …
