Objective:The aim was to examine the relationship between physical activity pattern and dietary profile. Although some clustering of the variables related to these major determinants of cardiovascular risk has been demonstrated, they have not been extensively studied together.Participants, Design, and Setting:Two hundred two female university students from the main Guadeloupe (French West Indies) campus participated. They self-administered a validated Food Frequency Questionnaire and the 1-yr recall Modifiable Activity Questionnaire. Principal-component analysis was performed on the scores and the variables related to the physical activity pattern and dietary profile.Results:A model including 10 variables explained 84.9% of the total variance. The physical activity pattern was not associated with the dietary profile, apart from fruit intake. The physical activity level was homogeneously low (median 1.58, first and last quartile cutoffs 1.54 and 1.66, respectively). There was no correlation between the physical activity level and the Food Frequency Questionnaire score (r = –.005).Conclusions:The absence of a strong relationship between the food and physical activity profiles is interpreted as a possible reflection of a dysregulation of the quality of food intake in this population with a sedentary lifestyle.

ABSTRACT Objective: To assess the physical activity level (PAL) and the total daily energy expenditure (EE-TDEE) in a sample of ≥60y subjects from Niterói, Rio de Janeiro, Brazil. Methods: A convenience sample of 88 subjects recruited from recreational physical activity programs wore an accelerometer around the waist for seven consecutive days for at least 10h/day. Minute-by-minute EE was estimated from the counts per minute (CPM) data, and the daily sum yielded the TDEE. PAL (TDEE/BMR) with BMR calculated with the FAO/WHO predictive equation and a population-specific equation. Body composition was assessed by DXA. Results: Mean age (SD) was 69.2 (5.8) years, the prevalence of overweight and obesity was 36.4 and 25.0%, respectively, and excess body fat was 39.8%. The subjects spent 600min/day engaged in sedentary activities (CPM<100). Men engaged in 30min of moderate-to-vigorous physical activity (CPM≥1,952) daily, on average. The subjects were active on 34.5 and 18.0% of the weekdays and weekend days with a 1,400 steps/day difference between these days. TDEE was 1,731.5 (348.7) and 1,356.3 (223.7) kcal/day depending on the BMR prediction equation used. Mean PAL was lower than the maintenance level. Conclusions: The high prevalence of sedentary activities and the low percentage of subjects who met the physical activity recommendations indicate that physical activity programs must be adjusted so that the enrolled subjects can meet the physical activity recommendations, preferably with the activities objectively monitored. Population-specific equations improve the final estimation of TDEE and PAL. Level of Evidence I; Diagnostic studies - Investigating a diagnostic test.

Daily Energy

Activity intensity is a potential determinant of activity-induced energy expenditure. Tri-axial accelerometery is the most objective measurement technique for the assessment of activity intensity, in combination with doubly-labelled water for the measurement of energy expenditure under free-living conditions. Data on the effects of subject characteristics, including body size and age, and exercise training on the relationship between activity intensity and daily energy expenditure are reviewed. Average daily metabolic rate and non-basal energy expenditure are positively related to body size. The duration and intensity of physical activities do not need to be equivalent to the energy spent on activity. Obese subjects spend more energy on physical activity but can perform fewer activities, especially high-intensity (weight-bearing) activities, because of their higher body weight. Physical activity generally declines gradually from about 60 years of age onwards. Most subjects >80 years have an activity level well below the level defined for sedentary middle-aged adults. Spending relatively more time on low-intensity activities has a negative effect on the mean physical activity level. To obtain a higher physical activity level does not necessarily imply high-intensity activities. In an average subject 25% of the activity-induced energy expenditure may be attributed to high-intensity activities. Exercise training, as a form of high-intensity activity, affects the physical activity level more in younger subjects than in elderly subjects.

1. Our objectives were to measure total energy expenditure, the daily variation in total energy expenditure and the physical activity level in a group of HIV-positive subjects using the bicarbonate-urea method. The study also aimed to assess the practicalities of using the bicarbonate-urea technique in free-living conditions. 2. Total energy expenditure was measured with the bicarbonate-urea method over 2 consecutive days (1 day in one subject) in 10 male patients with HIV infection (median CD4 count = 30). Resting energy expenditure was measured by indirect calorimetry. Physical activity level (total energy expenditure/resting energy expenditure) was calculated from these measurements and from activity diaries. 3. Resting energy expenditure was found to be 7.46 ± 0.87 MJ/day, 5% higher than predicted values. Total energy expenditure was 10.69 ± 1.95 MJ/day with an intra-individual day-to-day variation of 6 ± 6%. The measured physical activity level was 1.42 ± 0.14, higher than the diary estimate of 1.34 ± 0.16 (P = 0.029), and there were large inter-method differences in individual values. The subcutaneous infusion of bicarbonate was well tolerated and did not seem to restrict normal activities. 4. Total energy expenditure was not elevated in the group of HIV-positive subjects when compared with reference values for normal subjects. The physical activity level of the patients in this study was lower than that measured using other techniques in healthy young men, but was compatible with that expected for people leading a sedentary lifestyle. Reductions in physical activity in patients with HIV are likely to contribute to the wasting process and physical activity level may thus be a clinically useful measure. This study has also provided the first tracer estimate of the day-to-day variation in total energy expenditure. The bicarbonate-urea method represents an important new investigative tool for measuring total energy expenditure which has previously only been possible within the confines of a whole-body calorimeter or using the expensive doubly labelled water method.

The purpose of the study was to compare the aerobic power of prepubescent children (Tanner 1 stage). Participants were 95 children between 7 and 9 years old, divided into 4 physical activity level groups: a) Trained (n = 24), b) Sport beginners (n = 23), c) Active (n = 24), and d) Sedentary (n = 24). Physical activity level was determined by a three-day physical activity diary. Subjects performed a treadmill Balk protocol to obtain their peak oxygen uptake. Comparisons were made using ANOVA two-way and post hoc Tukey followed-up the significant differences for p< 0,05. Trained, sport beginners and active children presented similar amount of physical activity level, but they significantly differ from the sedentary children (p< 0.05). Overall boys (50.67 ± 8.52 ml/kg/min) had higher relative peak oxygen uptake than girls (45.19 ± 6.44 ml/kg/min). The gender by group interaction showed that this difference is explained by the superior values of the trained boys (58.80 ± 8.98 ml/kg/min) when compared to trained girls (47.51 ± 5.68 ml/kg/min), even though they presented the same amount of physical activity level. The trained group (53.16 ± 9.34 ml/kg/min) showed higher relative peak oxygen uptake compared to sport beginners (48.90 ± 6.54 ml/kg/min), active children (45.46 ± 7.50 ml/kg/min) and sedentary children (44.63 ± 9.52 ml/kg/min). The results suggest that prepubescent children that participate in systematized trained programs have better physiological indicators for aerobic fitness.Key words. aerobic power, physical activity, children.Resumen. El propósito del estudio fue comparar la potencia aeróbica de niños prepubescentes (Estadio de Tanner 1). Participaron 95 niños y niñas con edades entre 7 y 9 años, divididos en 4 grupos basados en sus niveles de actividad física: a) Entrenados (n = 24), b) Principiantes en deportes (n = 23), c) Activos (n = 24), y d) Sedentarios (n = 24). Los niveles de actividad física se determinaron por medio de un diario de actividad física de tres días. Los participantes realizaron el protocolo de Balke en banda sin fin para obtener el consumo de oxígeno pico. Se hicieron comparaciones con ANOVA de dos vías y post hoc de Tukey cuando se encontraron diferencias significativas a un p < 0.05. Los niños prepubescentes entrenados, principiantes en deportes y activos presentaron niveles de actividad física similares, pero fueron significativamente diferentes de los niños sedentarios (p < 0.05). En general, los niños presentaron mayor consumo de oxígeno pico (50.67 ± 8.52 ml/kg/min) que las niñas (45.19 ± 6.44 ml/kg/min). La interacción de sexo por grupo mostró que esta diferencia se explica por el mayor valor de los niños entrenados (58.80 ± 8.98 ml/kg/min) cuando se les comparó con las niñas entrenadas (47.51 ± 5.68 ml/kg/min), aunque tuvieran el mismo nivel de actividad física. El grupo entrenado (53.16 ± 9.34 ml/kg/min) presentó mayores valores de consumo de oxígeno pico comparados con los principiantes (48.90 ± 6.54 ml/kg/min), niños activos (45.46 ± 7.50 ml/kg/min) y niños sedentarios (44.63 ± 9.52 ml/kg/min). Los resultados sugieren que los niños prepubescentes que participan en programas de entrenamiento sistemáticos tienen mejores indicadores fisiológicos de capacidad aeróbica.Palabras claves. potencia aeróbica, actividad física, niños
