Activity monitoring using accelerometers is of growing interest. Acceleration contains information about intensity and frequency of activities. An additional barometer provides information on altitude. This paper presents an evaluation of several features with respect to their suitability for recognizing resting, walking, cycling, going upand downstairs. Two classifiers are proposed: one using ...

Subjects were 26 elite junior male basketball players (n = 12; age = 18.6 +/- 0.3 years; height = 202.0 +/- 11.6 cm; mass = 97.0 +/- 12.9 kg; mean +/- S...

Effect of immobilization stress on the rat colonic temperature and metabolism was studied in a warm environment of 25 degrees C. Immobilization for 3 hr caused hyperthermia accompanied by increased oxygen consumption (VO2) in the warm controls. The hyperthermic effect of immobilization was accelerated after 1 week repetition of daily immobilization and it was lessened after 2 to 4 week repetiti...
