The aim of this study was to investigate the ability of a novel activity monitor designed to be minimally obtrusive in predicting free-living energy expenditure. Subjects were 18 men and 12 women (age: 41 ± 11 y, BMI: 24.4 ± 3 kg/m). The habitual physical activity was monitored for 14 days using a DirectLife tri-axial accelerometer for movement registration (TracmorD) (Philips New Wellness Solu...

Este artigo de cunho bibliográfico, busca apresentar uma reflexão sobre a prática pedagógica voltada ao Atendimento Educacional Especializado – AEE. Parte-se do entendimento que o AEE é proposta dá condições para processo da inclusão escolar dos alunos com deficiência. Visto que, nas salas os podem aprender vencer barreiras. Logo, as Tecnologias Assistivas, (AEE), recursos multifuncionais - SRM...

Associations among baseline physical activity, aerobic fitness, changes in physical activity, and 7-y changes in adiposity were determined. The sample consisted of 602 males and 644 females, aged 20-69 y, from the 1981 Canada Fitness Survey and the 1988 Campbell's Survey. Questionnaire-derived measures of physical activity level consisted of activity energy expenditure (AEE) and time spent on p...

We evaluated whether children of obese parents have defects in energy expenditure in a study of 73 children (5 +/- 0.9 yr of age) of lean and obese parents. Total energy expenditure (TEE) was measured over 14 days by use of doubly labeled water and physical activity energy expenditure (AEE) derived by subtracting resting energy expenditure (REE) under postprandial conditions. Fat and fat-free m...

The goal of this paper is to critically evaluate Anthropological Evolutionary Ecology (AEE) as a paradigm by utilizing the method for theory framework developed by Pickett et al. (1994). While AEE can contribute in some ways to our understanding of human behavior through methods and techniques derived from neoDarwinian theory (as well as current approaches in animal behavior and decision theory...

BACKGROUND Online or Web-based measurement systems have been proposed as convenient methods for collecting physical activity data. We developed two Web-based physical activity systems-the 24-hour Physical Activity Record Web (24hPAR WEB) and 7 days Recall Web (7daysRecall WEB). OBJECTIVE To examine the validity of two Web-based physical activity measurement systems using the doubly labeled wa...

BACKGROUND Higher nighttime blood pressure (BP) and the loss of nocturnal dipping of BP are associated with an increased risk for cardiovascular events. However, the determinants of the loss of nocturnal BP dipping are only beginning to be understood. We investigated whether different indicators of physical activity were associated with the loss of nocturnal dipping of BP. METHODS We conducte...

Leptin has been hypothesized to play an important role in energy balance by affecting both energy intake and energy expenditure. The purpose of our study was to determine the relationship between fasting serum leptin concentrations and measures of energy expenditure in prepubertal children. We measured total energy expenditure (TEE; by the doubly labeled water technique), resting energy expendi...

We propose a novel current-induced thermoelectric phenomenon, the nonlinear anomalous Ettingshausen effect (AEE), at zero magnetic field in inversion-asymmetric conductors. As an example, we discuss weak charge ordering state layered organic conductor alpha-(BEDT-TTF)2I3, which is two-dimensional massive Dirac fermion system with pair of tilted cones. The AEE analogue Hall effect, recently obse...
