The descriptive and aetiological epidemiology of physical activity: composition, volume, and intensity.
Physical activity is known to play a role in the prevention of obesity and related cardiometabolic conditions. However, in order to develop targeted public health interventions, it is first necessary to understand how levels of physical activity vary in different populations, along with the …

Physical Activity Habits in Older Adults with Knee Osteoarthritis
Background: To objectively assess physical activity habits using accelerometers, and to examine the relationship between physical activity and physical functioning, in 160 older (66 + 6 years old), obese (body mass index 33.5 + 3.7 kg/m2) individuals with knee osteoarthritis. Methods: Physical …

Energy Requirements and Expenditure, Economics, and Health
… `state-of affairs' regarding the measurement of energy requirements, energy expenditure, and their relationship with health, and second, to perform economic analyses of an existing health intervention. Multiple manuscripts were created to address these interdisciplinary and challenging topics. …

Sex differences in diet-induced regulation of non-exercise activity thermogenesis in overweight and obese adults
Introduction: Reductions in physical activity energy expenditure (PAEE) and basal metabolic rate (BMR) have been proposed as factors that may hinder diet-induced body mass loss. Although diet-mediated changes in PAEE and BMR are subject to large inter-individual variability, research investigating …

Breast Cancer Rehabilitation: Impact on Physical Activity and Quality of Life
… have many side effects, including decreased physical activity and quality of life. Although physical activity has a positive impact on quality of life, breast cancer survivors often decrease physical activity participation during the treatment time period. The purpose of this study was to …

The Epidemiology of Physical Activity in Canada
… provide an overview of the epidemiology of physical activity in Canada. In the first study two methods of coding activities used in estimating leisure-time physical activity energy expenditure (LTPAEE), from a questionnaire including 21 specific activities, and up to three “other” activities …

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 …

Understanding Temporal Movement Behaviour Patterns: Measurement, Epidemiology, and Cardiometabolic Health Implications
… guidelines highlight the importance of regular physical activity and reducing sedentary time but provide limited guidance regarding the temporal patterning of these movement behaviours. Wearable devices have enabled researchers to explore such movement patterns at a time-resolution not possible …

Effects of long-term participation in tennis on cognitive function in elderly individuals
… ± 4.3), social network diversity, cognitive activity, depression, total physical activity energy expenditure (4285.4 ± 2723.4 kcal), and physical function. Global cognitive function was determined by the Montreal Cognitive Assessment (MoCA). The cognitive function of inhibition function was …

Investigation of Genetic and Behavioural Determinants of Type 2 diabetes and Glycaemic Traits
… interaction in one trial, which focused more on physical activity and dietary change than on weight change. In an analysis of a detailed quantitative metabolic trait study, I demonstrated a specific interaction between TCF7L2 and physical activity energy expenditure (PAEE). These data suggest …

Combined associations of diet quality, physical activity, and their changes over time with cardiometabolic risk and mortality
Physical activity (PA) and diet quality have each been shown to be inversely associated with cardiometabolic diseases (CMD), their risk factors, and mortality. However, their combined impact on health outcomes has been less explored, particularly when considering their changes over time. To draw …

High Levels of Total Energy Expenditure in Ultra-Endurance Athletes: Is There Evidence for Constraint?
… yet our understanding of the contribution of physical activity (PA) to the daily energy budget is limited. The prevailing model of a linear relationship between PA and total energy expenditure (TEE) has been challenged by models that predict an upper limit of TEE (constrained) or a …
