Summary: The study aimed at comparing the energy expenditure estimations of ActiGraph GT3X+ in different placement locations during physical activities. Results showed that the GT3X+ wrist and waist underestimated EE, while the ankles overestimated EE in biking and walking, and underestimated EE in running.

Summary: This study examined the acute physiological responses of healthy adults to different exercise protocols. The results showed that variable-intensity intermittent exercise (VIIE) had oxygen consumption and duration in the vigorous-intensity zone between that of moderate-intensity continuous exercise (MICE) and high-intensity interval exercise (HIIE). In terms of affective responses, VIIE had higher post-exercise enjoyment. These findings suggest that VIIE could be a suitable alternative to HIIE and MICE.

Summary: Progressive supranuclear palsy is associated with reduced total daily energy expenditure and physical activity, as well as lower lean muscle mass compared with Parkinson's disease. The Harris-Benedict equation has limited accuracy in predicting rest energy expenditure in PSP patients. Disease severity is correlated with lower rest energy expenditure, lean muscle mass, and muscle mass in this population.

Summary: Adiposity and resting energy expenditure (REE) do not significantly differ between patients with osteogenesis imperfecta (OI) and BMI-similar healthy controls (HC). However, reduced REE among patients with non-collagen variants may contribute to greater adiposity.

Summary: This study exposed mice to different ambient temperatures and found that as the temperature decreased, energy expenditure increased. However, this increase was offset by elevated food intake, resulting in stable body weight. Nevertheless, there were significant changes in body composition.

Summary: This study aimed to verify the association between the genotypic of the PPARy2 receptor gene and body composition and adiposity indicators in physical exercise practitioners. The Pro12Ala polymorphism consistently influences indicators of body composition and adiposity regardless of exercise habits, but age and nutritional intake should be considered.

Summary: The study found that dual endothelin A/B receptor antagonism can increase total REE in overweight/obese individuals. These results suggest that modulation of the endothelin system may represent a novel therapeutic target to increase both resting metabolism and caloric expenditure, enhance weight loss, and reduce CVD risk in seemingly healthy individuals with elevated adiposity.

Summary: This study compared the effects of high-intensity interval running exercise (HIIE) and moderate-intensity continuous aerobic exercise (MICE) on body composition, muscular, and cardiorespiratory fitness in children with overweight. The results showed that HIIE significantly reduced weight, BMI, and fat mass, and significantly increased VO2peak and MAS, compared to MICE. However, both HIIE and MICE improved muscular fitness to a similar extent.

Summary: The study uses a Monte Carlo simulation model to estimate energy expenditure and fatigue allowance in manual order picking systems. Results highlight the significant impact of body mass and walking speed on productivity and energy expenditure, especially for heavier pickers. Furthermore, it is challenging to set productivity limits for pickers with a wide range of weights while considering age and health conditions affecting energy input and aerobic capacity.

Summary: This study observed changes in energy expenditure and body composition in patients during the early postoperative days after pancreatic trauma. The results showed that total body water, extracellular water, fat-free mass, and skeletal muscle mass decreased significantly from POD-3 to -14, while the phase angle increased significantly. Resting energy expenditure was higher than predicted and remained high throughout the study period. A postoperative phase angle value below 4.23 was associated with severe complications.

Summary: The study evaluated the energy expenditure and protein oxidation in very low birth weight infants, finding that infants predominantly fed human milk showed better growth quality and protein utilization rate. There were no significant differences in energy requirements between infants fed human milk and formula.

Summary: The study found that visceral fat and arterial stiffness were higher in obese youth compared to those with healthy weight. In obese youth, visceral fat was positively associated with arterial stiffness and was able to predict it, independent of body mass index and waist circumference. This suggests that visceral fat may play a role in subclinical cardiovascular complications in youth.

Summary: This study compared the short- and longer-term effects of exergaming and traditional group aerobic training on psychological constructs and physical activity adherence. The results showed that exergaming was more effective in improving autonomy satisfaction and intrinsic motivation, while traditional group aerobic training resulted in greater exercise exertion, enjoyment, and relatedness. Autonomy was found to be a key factor for longer-term change.

Summary: This study aimed to investigate the associations between dietary patterns, activity behaviors, and physical fitness with adiposity in preadolescent children. The results showed that cardiorespiratory fitness was strongly associated with body fat percentage, fat mass, BMI, and waist to hip ratio. Fruit and vegetable consumption patterns had a negligible association with body fat percentage. Therefore, future interventions should focus on improving cardiorespiratory fitness to reduce childhood obesity.

Summary: This study compared PA estimates from Fitbit Flex 2 to those from ActiGraph GT9X Link in elementary school children. Fitbit estimates were 35% higher for steps compared to ActiGraph. Fitbit and ActiGraph estimates for sedentary and light PA were closest, while estimates for moderate and vigorous PA varied depending on the ActiGraph cut-points used. There was higher correlation between devices for steps than for moderate or vigorous PA, and low concordance in assessing PA changes over time.

Summary: Sedentary behavior is associated with future cardiovascular disease risk and all-cause mortality. To explain this association, research on the physiological underpinnings is needed in order to develop a biologically plausible model. Standardizing approaches and controlling factors, such as participant posture, can ensure the synthesis and comparability of studies.

Summary: This paper outlines the protocol for part I of the SWITCH study, which aims to investigate the effects of different sedentary behavior interruption strategies on cardiovascular disease risk. Healthy men and women will be recruited for a randomized crossover trial, and the primary outcome will evaluate the change in aortic arterial stiffness for each substitution strategy. The findings will inform the design of a subsequent randomized controlled trial and contribute to the development of public health policies addressing sedentary behavior.

Summary: This study examined the associations between lifestyle factors (fitness, activity behaviors, and dietary patterns) and cardiometabolic disease (CMD) risk in preadolescent children. The results showed that cardiorespiratory fitness (CRF) and sedentary time were associated with CMD risk, while sleep and dietary variables were not significant. Increasing CRF and decreasing sedentary behavior may be important public health targets in preadolescent children.

Summary: This study assessed the perceived stress levels of undergraduate students during the Spring 2020 semester, revealing that the majority experienced moderate to high levels of stress. Females reported higher stress levels compared to males. Therefore, allocating limited funds to student mental health services could be beneficial for universities facing enrollment and financial concerns.

Summary: This study aimed to identify the sex-specific prevalence of metabolic syndrome (MetS) risk factors and their correlates in a college-aged population. The results showed differences in MetS risk factors between females and males, with different factors associated with risk scores. Therefore, primary prevention strategies on college campuses should consider a sex-specific approach.
