Energy expenditure report
AIM:
1) Data analysis of indirect calorimetry method using Douglas bag in Student participants.
– Previously collected anonymised data
2) Analysis of a Physical Activity Diary (PAD)
– Analyse anonymised group data
Hypothesis to test:
⦁ That moderate physical activity markedly increases metabolic rate
⦁ That energy expenditure and heart rate are related
⦁ That RQ/RER alters with moderate physical activity
⦁ That estimated TEE from PAD using 2 methods differs
⦁ That estimated TEE from PAD varies with Body Weight
Things to Calculate and Analyse
⦁ Total Energy Expenditure (TEE) using PAD Diary and equations given.
⦁ Analyse the relationship between TEE and Body Weight (kg) using the anonymised Group data.
⦁ Compare values for group against indirect calorimetry and reference values (populations).
