Article Title: Use of the activPAL ® triaxial accelerometer to estimate total energy expenditure in low-income women: differences between body mass index classifications

doi: 10.20945/2359-3997000000616

Figure Lengend Snippet: Relationship between bias (total energy expenditure estimated by accelerometers and measured by doubly labelled water) and body weight.

Article Snippet: Triaxial accelerometers (activPAL ® , activPALTM 3C, PAL Technologies Ltd, Glasgow, UK) were first used to estimate PAL and were later used to estimate TEE.

Article Title: Validation of Five Minimally Obstructive Methods to Estimate Physical Activity Energy Expenditure in Young Adults in Semi-Standardized Settings

doi: 10.3390/s150306133

Figure Lengend Snippet: Comparisons between measured EE by COSMED K4b 2 (indirect calorimetry) and estimated EE by different methods for different activities performed during a standardized protocol.

Article Snippet: For energy expenditure measurements, participants wore a COSMED K4b 2 portable pulmonary gas exchange analyzer (COSMED Srl, Rome, Italy), an ActivPAL 3 triaxial accelerometer (PAL Technologies Ltd., Glasgow, Scotland), an Actiheart combining uniaxial accelerometer and heart rate monitor (CamNtech, Cambridge, UK) and two ActiGraph GT3X+ triaxial accelerometers (ActiGraph TM, Pensacola, FL, USA) during the standardized and semi-standardized protocol.

Figure Lengend Snippet: Bland-Altman plots of the EE estimated in the stationary activity types lying, sitting and standing in the semi-standardized protocol of the methods ( a ) ActivPAL; ( b ) ActiGraph; ( c ) Actiheart; ( d ) AGhip+Acti4 and ( e ): AGthigh+Acti4. Dashed lines represent the limits of agreement (±1.96 SD), full line the mean difference between estimated and measured EE. The thin line represents the linear correlation plot of the individual scatter plots and R 2 -value ( R 2 ) the Pearson coefficient of determination of individual scatter plots to this linear correlation line.

Figure Lengend Snippet: Bland-Altman plots of the EE estimated in the physical activity types walking, running, cycling and walking stairs in the semi-standardized protocol of the methods: ( a ) ActivPAL; ( b ) ActiGraph; ( c ) Actiheart; ( d ) AGhip + Acti4 and ( e ): AGthigh + Acti4. Dashed lines represent the limits of agreement (±1.96 SD), solid line represents the mean difference between estimated and measured EE. The thin line represents the linear regression between EE by COSMED and difference between EE estimated by different methods and COSMED. R 2 is the Pearson coefficient of determination of individual scatter plots to this linear regression line.
