OBJECTIVE To determine energy expenditure in kilocalories (kcal) during sexual activity in young healthy couples in their natural environment and compare it to a session of endurance exercise. METHODS The study population consisted of twenty one heterosexual couples (age: 22.6 ± 2.8 years old) from the Montreal region. Free living energy expenditure during sexual activity and the endurance ex...

Hanák J . , P . Jahn, R. Kabe‰, M. Sedl inská, Z. Îert , J . Mezerová, O. Chvátal : A Field Study of Oxygen Consumption and Estimated Energy Expenditure in the Exercising Horse. Acta Vet. Brno 2001, 70: 133-139. The major goal of this study was to estimate the aerobic and anaerobic contribution to energy expenditure in the running warmblood horse under field conditions. The oxygen consumption (...

OBJECTIVE Evaluate the effect of different exercise intensities on spontaneous physical activity energy expenditure in overweight adolescents. METHODS A crossover study was developed with a control session, followed by moderate and vigorous exercise sessions, with six days of monitoring each. Twenty-four adolescents, 11-13 years old, male and overweight were selected. Spontaneous physical act...

OBJECTIVES The present study describes the oxygen uptake and total energy expenditure (including both aerobic and anaerobic contribution) response during three different circuit weight training (CWT) protocols of equivalent duration composed of free weight exercises, machine exercises, and a combination of free weight exercises intercalating aerobic exercise. DESIGN Controlled, randomized cro...

This study was to assess the resting energy expenditure of patients with esophageal cancer using indirect calorimetry. Eight male patients with esophageal cancer and eight male healthy controls were enrolled in this study. All patients underwent transthoracic esophagectomy with lymph nodes dissections. The resting energy expenditure was measured preoperatively, and on postoperative day 7 and 14...

OBJECTIVE To compare measured resting energy expenditure to resting energy expenditure predicted from eight published prediction equations in a sample of patients with pancreatic cancer. DESIGN Cross-sectional study. SETTING Ambulatory patients of a tertiary private hospital. PARTICIPANTS Eight patients with pancreatic cancer (5 males, 3 females; age: 62.0+/- 5.2 years; BMI: 24.4+/- 3.2 k...

This study aimed to investigate the energy metabolism of patients with lung cancer and the relationship between energy metabolism and proinflammatory cytokines. Twenty-eight patients with lung cancer and 18 healthy controls were enrolled in this study. The nutritional status upon admission was analyzed using nutritional screening tools and laboratory tests. The resting energy expenditure and re...

background: with the rising of baking industries in bangladesh, more female workers are surprisingly engaged compared to male workers. the major aim of this study was to observe the working conditions, available safety facilities and hygiene maintained by the female workers. methods: a cross sectional survey was carried out among the randomly selected 384 female workers from different baking in...

The measurement of energy expenditure has wide applications in clinical and scientific studies. Ethical and practical problems, however, have limited the acquisition of information on total energy expenditure in infancy. The doubly-labelled-water technique, recently validated for use in infants, has now been used to measure, non-invasively, total energy expenditure in a cohort of forty-one norm...

The sympathetic nervous system regulates thermogenesis and energy homeostasis in humans. When activated it increases energy expenditure, particularly resting energy expenditure. Most human studies used acute infusion of β-blockers as a model to eliminate sympathetic stimulation and to examine the contribution of the sympathetic nervous system to energy metabolism and balance. Clinically, howeve...
