- Purpose: The SenseWear Pro2 Armband (SWA; BodyMedia, Inc., Pittsburg, PA), the Intelligent Device for Energy Expenditure and Activity (IDEEA; Minisun LLC, Fresno, CA), and the ActiReg (AR; PreMed AS, Oslo, Norway) were compared with indirect calorimetry to determine the ability of these devices to assess energy cost in children during resting and different physical activities. Methods: Fourteen children, 11–13 yr old, wore the SWA, the IDEEA, and the AR during resting, sitting, stationary bicycling, jumping on a trampoline, playing basketball, stair walking, and walking/running along a 50-m track. The Oxycon Mobile portable metabolic system (VIASYS Healthcare, Conshohocken, PA) was used as the criterion method for energy cost. Results: For resting and sitting, the three activity monitors showed comparable results, but none of them accurately assessed energy cost for stationary bicycling, jumping on a trampoline, or playing basketball. The IDEEA was the only activity monitor that accurately assessed energy cost for stair walking. Also, the IDEEA showed a close estimate of energy cost across the walking and the running intensities, whereas the SWA accurately assessed energy cost for slow to normal walking but showed increased underestimation of energy cost with increasing speed. The AR overestimated energy cost during walking and during slow running but did not respond to increasing running speed. Conclusions: To be able to capture children’s physical activity, all three activity monitors need to be further developed. Overall, the IDEEA showed the highest ability to assess energy cost in this study, but SWA may be more feasible for use in children under free-living conditions.

- PURPOSE: To examine the validity of SenseWear Pro2 Armband in assessing energy cost of physical activities in children, and to contribute with values of energy costs in an overview of physical activities in children. METHODS: Energy cost was assessed by SenseWear Pro2 Armband in 20 healthy children, 11-13 yr, while lying down resting, sitting playing games on mobile phone, stepping up and down on a step board, bicycling on a stationary bike, jumping on a trampoline, playing basketball, and walking/running on a treadmill at the speeds 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, and 10 km x h(-1). During these activities, energy cost was also assessed from VO2 and VCO2 measured by Oxycon Mobile portable metabolic system, which was used as criterion method. RESULTS: The difference in energy cost between SenseWear Pro2 Armband and Oxycon Mobile was -0.7 (0.5) (P < 0.001) for resting, -2.0 (0.9) (P < 0.001) for playing games on mobile phone, -6.6 (2.3) (P < 0.001) for stepping on the step board, -12.0 (3.7) (P < 0.001) for bicycling, -2.7 (11.9) (P = 0.34) for jumping on the trampoline, and -14.8 (6.4) kJ x min(-1) (P < 0.001) for playing basketball. The difference in energy cost between SenseWear Pro2 Armband and Oxycon Mobile for increasing treadmill speed was 1.3 (3.1) (P = 0.048), 0.1 (2.9) (P = 0.82), -1.2 (2.6) (P = 0.049), -1.6 (3.2) (P = 0.044), -3.1 (3.7) (P = 0.0013), -4.9 (3.7) (P < 0.001), -5.3 (3.7) (P < 0.001), and -11.1 (3.5) kJ x min(-1) (P < 0.001). CONCLUSIONS: SenseWear Pro2 Armband underestimated energy cost of most activities in this study, an underestimation that increased with increased physical activity intensity. A table of energy costs (MET values) of physical activities in children measured by indirect calorimetry is presented as an initiation of the creation of a compendium of physical activities in children

- AIMS: To improve the energy expenditure algorithm of the activity monitor ActiReg, and to validate ActiReg and the activity monitor SenseWear in free-living children. METHODS: The development of the ActiReg algorithm was performed in 20 healthy 11-13 years old children on treadmill walking and running with indirect calorimetry as reference. The original and new ActiReg algorithms and SenseWear using software versions InnerView 5.1 and 6.1 were validated in 20 healthy 14-15 years old children against doubly labelled water. RESULTS: The new ActiReg algorithm improved the assessment of energy expenditure during walking and running, but the response from the monitor levelled off after 7 km h(-1). The new algorithm and InnerView 6.1 decreased the mean (sd) difference to doubly labelled water from 11 (25) (P<0.05) to 0 (22) kJ kg(-1) d(-1) for ActiReg, and from 17 (20) (P<0.01) to -10 (21) (P<0.05) kJ kg(-1) d(-1) for SenseWear. However, the correlations between energy expenditure and the individual error for the new ActiReg algorithm and InnerView 6.1 were r= -0.50 (P<0.05) and r= -0.73 (P<0.01). CONCLUSIONS: The new ActiReg algorithm and InnerView 6.1 improved the activity monitors at group level, but the error was dependent on physical activity level. Both activity monitors need further developments for use in children.

Tidskriftsartikel (refereegranskat)abstract
- OBJECTIVE: To validate a physical activity questionnaire for adolescents (PAQA) adapted from the International Physical Activity Questionnaire (IPAQ). DESIGN: Energy expenditure was measured during a 14-day period with doubly labelled water (DLW). PAQA was administered as an interview at the end of the period, asking for physical activity in school, during transportation and leisure-time, during a habitual week. Energy expenditure (EE(PAQA)) was calculated as the product of total physical activity + sleep and predicted resting metabolic rate, and was compared to energy expenditure from DLW (EE(DLW)), thermic effect of feeding excluded. SETTING: Participants were recruited from grade 9 in a compulsory school in Goteborg, Sweden. All data were collected at school, and distribution of DLW and measuring of resting metabolic rate were performed at Sahlgrenska University Hospital. SUBJECTS: A total of 33 adolescents (16 girls, 17 boys) 15.7 (0.4) y performed all measurements. RESULTS:: For the whole group, PAQA underestimated energy expenditure by 3.8 (1.7) MJ (P<0.001). There was a strong correlation (r = 0.62, P<0.001) between EE(PAQA) and EE(DLW), but not for boys (r = 0.42, P = 0.090) and girls (r = 0.33, P = 0.22) separately. CONCLUSIONS: PAQA is not able to predict energy expenditure in Swedish adolescents, largely explained by the amount of unreported time. The ability to rank adolescents energy expenditure is questioned because of the gender effect, although we found a strong correlation for the whole group.

- AIM: To investigate physical activity, sports participation and aerobic fitness in children who have undergone surgery for congenital heart defects. SUBJECTS AND METHODS: Children who had undergone surgery for congenital heart defects and healthy controls in the Gothenburg area were invited to participate in the study. All participants were aged 9-11 or 14-16 years. The activity monitor ActiReg was used to assess physical activity. Participants were interviewed about their participation in sports and performed a maximal exercise test on a bicycle with measured oxygen uptake. RESULTS: A total of 32 and 25 patients, and 61 and 45 controls, in the two age-groups were included, respectively. The patients had a wide range of severity of congenital heart defects. The physical activity level was similar in the patients and the controls. The rate of sports participation was high for both patients and controls; 80-94% of all participants took part in sports at least once a week. The majority of the patients were considered to have at least a moderate level of aerobic fitness. CONCLUSIONS: Although children who have undergone surgery for congenital heart defects have a similar level of physical activity compared with that of healthy children, some of them may require support to participate in exercise and vigorous physical activity.

Tidskriftsartikel (refereegranskat)abstract
- BACKGROUND & AIMS: Malnutrition and weight loss are common in patients with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) and effective nutritional support relies on accurate assessment of energy requirement. This could only be performed by measuring energy expenditure using objective methods. The aim of this study was to examine the validity of the ActiReg system in assessing energy requirement in non-hospitalized patients with severe COPD, using doubly labelled water (DLW) as criterion method. METHODS: Total energy expenditure (TEE) was assessed from 14 days DLW analysis in 13 patients. During the first 7 days TEE was simultaneously assessed using the ActiReg system, combining measured resting energy expenditure (REE) with physical activity monitoring. RESULTS: A difference of -88 (782) kJ d(-1) (P = 0.69) was observed between the ActiReg system and DLW. REE explained 52% of the variation in TEE from DLW. Adding physical activity energy expenditure from the ActiReg system (PAEE(AR) = TEE(AR)-REE) increased the explained variation in TEE from DLW with 16%. CONCLUSIONS: The ActiReg system is valid in assessing energy requirement in non-hospitalized patients with severe COPD. The unique feature of being able to discriminate within both the low intensity activity range and moderate-to-high intensity activity range makes the ActiReg system a valuable tool in clinical nutritional support.

Tidskriftsartikel (refereegranskat)abstract
- OBJECTIVE: To compare habitual energy intake (EI) estimated from diet history (DH) with total energy expenditure (TEE) measured with doubly labelled water (DLW) in adolescents. DESIGN: DH included a detailed questionnaire and an interview. TEE was measured during a 14-day period. Adequate (AR), under- (UR) and over-reporters (OR) were defined from the ratio EI/TEE: AR 0.84-1.16, UR <0.84 and OR >1.16. SETTING: Participants were recruited from grade 9 in a compulsory school in Goteborg, Sweden. All data were collected at school and DLW dosages were distributed at Sahlgrenska University Hospital. SUBJECTS: A total of 35 adolescents (18 boys, 17 girls), 15.7 (0.4) y. RESULTS: EI was 11.0 (3.6) MJ and TEE was 11.4 (2.1) MJ (P=0.42). DH was able to rank EI compared to TEE (Spearman's r=0.59, P< or =0.001). For girls, EI was 18% lower (P=0.0067) and for boys, EI was 7% higher (P=0.26) compared to TEE. The 95% limits of agreement for difference between TEE and EI were -5.6 to 6.5 MJ. In total, 20 subjects were defined as AR (57%), nine as UR (26%) and six as OR (17%). Energy from in-between meals was 33% lower (P=0.0043) in UR girls and 57% higher (P=0.026) in OR boys, compared to adequate reporting girls and boys, respectively. In UR girls, energy-adjusted intake (10 MJ) of specific foods did not differ significantly, fat was lower and carbohydrate and vitamin C were higher compared to AR girls (all P<0.05). OR boys had no significant differences in food and nutrient intake in 10 MJ compared to AR boys. CONCLUSION: The diet history was able to capture EI for the group and to rank subjects. There was a wide individual range in reporting-accuracy related to gender. SPONSORSHIP: The Ingabritt and Arne Lundberg Foundation, The Wilhelm and Martina Lundgren Foundation.

Tidskriftsartikel (refereegranskat)abstract
- PURPOSES: To validate the energy expenditure estimated from The Minnesota Leisure Time Physical Activity Questionnaire (MLTPAQ) with total energy expenditure (TEE) measured by doubly labeled water (DLW), and to present and examine the validity of an extended version of the MLTPAQ with additional questions about inactivity during leisure time (eMLTPAQ), in a sample of Swedish 15-yr-old adolescents. METHODS: Thirty-five 15-yr-old adolescents were interviewed using the eMLTPAQ. In addition to anthropometry, indirect calorimetry was measured to assess basal metabolic rate, and TEE was assessed by the DLW method over a 14-d period. RESULTS: Energy expenditure calculated from MLTPAQ correlated well with TEEDLW (r=0.49, P<0.01), and the correlation increased when including questions about inactivity (r=0.73, P<0.01). However, eMLTPAQ underestimated TEE in 34 of the 35 students, with a mean difference between the methods of 2.8 MJ.d(-1) (95% limits of agreement: -0.1 to 5.6 MJ.d(-1)), which mainly was explained by a relative high intensity in the time which remained unreported. CONCLUSION: eMLTPAQ is valid in ranking adolescents energy expenditure and in describing patterns of leisure time physical activities.
