The Actiheart monitor (CamNTech Ltd., Cambridge, UK), a reliable and validated [27] (link) combined heart rate monitor and accelerometer for ambulatory use, was worn day and night during four consecutive days following the clinic visit. The extent to which participants reached the current WHO recommendations on physical activity for promoting health was analyzed. For details see Ref. [23] (link).

AEE was measured using an Actiheart monitor (CamnTech) using the RMR measured by indirect
calorimetry. The Actiheart records physical activity and heart rate and uses a system of
branched modelling to calculate AEE. The lightweight, waterproof monitor clips on to
electrocardiogram electrode pads attached to the upper chest. After performing a signal
test the subjects were asked to wear the monitor for 7 full days. Once returned, the
information stored by the monitor was downloaded. TEE is calculated as the RMR plus
measured AEE and calculated diet-induced thermogenesis. Energy expenditure is also
expressed as an average intensity in terms of metabolic equivalents (MET), which represent
multiples of RMR. We calculated the time spent carrying out activities at levels of MET
corresponding to light (<3), moderate (3–6) and vigorous (>6) intensity
exercise.

About PubCompare
Our mission is to provide scientists with the largest repository of trustworthy protocols and intelligent analytical tools, thereby offering them extensive information to design robust protocols aimed at minimizing the risk of failures.
We believe that the most crucial aspect is to grant scientists access to a wide range of reliable sources and new useful tools that surpass human capabilities.
However, we trust in allowing scientists to determine how to construct their own protocols based on this information, as they are the experts in their field.
