A Comprehensive Evaluation Of Commonly Used Accelerometer Energy Expenditure And Met Prediction Equations, Kate Lyden, Sarah L. Kozey, John W. Staudenmayer, Patty S. Freedson

Patty S. Freedson

Numerous accelerometers and prediction methods are used to estimate energy expenditure (EE). Validation studies have been limited to small sample sizes in which participants complete a narrow range of activities and typically validate only one or two prediction models for one particular accelerometer. Purpose—To evaluate the validity of nine published and two proprietary EE prediction equations for three different accelerometers. Methods—277 participants completed an average of 6 treadmill (TRD) (1.34, 1.56, 2.23 m・sec−1 each at 0% and 3% grade) and 5 self-paced activities of daily living (ADLs). EE estimates were compared to indirect calorimetry. Accelerometers were worn while EE was …
