Relationship between overnight energy expenditure and BMR measured in a room-sized calorimeter

Article Abstract:

Results of a study found that overnight metabolic rate and basal metabolic rate (BMR) are equivalent. The study aimed to test the assumption that energy expenditure during time spent in bed is equal to BMR, which is used in computing recommendations for daily energy requirements. The study measured and compared the overnight energy expenditure, the lowest energy expenditure sustained for 60 min during the night, and the measured and predicted BMR of 69 adult subjects.

Total daily energy expenditure and pattern of physical activity measured by minute-by-minute heart rate monitoring in 14-15 year old Swedish adolescents

Article Abstract:

The amount and intensity of physical activity in Swedish adolescents was determined based on total daily energy expenditure (TDEE), physical activity level, and energy expenditure. 14-15 year old boys and girls were examined with minute-by-minute heart rate (HR) monitoring. They were found to be physically active to a similar extent, but at least 30% did not achieve appropriate rates of physical activity, thought to be beneficial for health.

The effect of a high protein-low calorie diet on the energy expenditure of obese adolescents

Article Abstract:

The effect of a high protein-low calorie diet on the weight loss of obese adolescents focusing on its relation to resting energy expenditure (REE) is investigated. Results show that adolescents on this type of diet prevents the observed reduction of REE observed to accompany weight loss. The findings support the advocacy of this type of diet for the control of obesity in adolescents.
