RELIABILITY AND VALIDITY OF THE PHYSICAL ACTIVITY MONITOR FOR ASSESSING ENERGY EXPENDITURES IN SEDENTARY, REGULARLY EXERCISING, NON-ENDURANCE ATHLETE, AND ENDURANCE ATHLETE ADULTS

Reliability and validity of the physical activity monitor for assessing energy expenditures in sedentary, regularly exercising, non-endurance athlete, and endurance athlete adults

Background Inertial sensors, such as Serveware accelerometers, serve as convenient devices to predict the energy expenditures (EEs) during physical activities by a predictive equation.Although the accuracy of estimate EEs especially matter to athletes receive physical training, most EE predictive equations adopted in accelerometers are based on the
