Assessment of energy expenditure during high intensity cycling and running using a heart rate and activity monitor in young active adults.

ABSTRACT: OBJECTIVE:Although high intensity physical activities may represent a great proportion of the total energy expenditure in active people, only sparse studies have investigated the accuracy of wearable monitors to assess activity related energy expenditure (AEE) during high intensity exercises. Therefore, the purpose of the present study was to investigate the accuracy of the Actiheart, a light portable monitor estimating AEE based on heart rate (HR) and activity counts (ACT), during two popular activities (running and cycling) performed at high intensities. The benefit of an individual calibration of the HR-AEE relationship established during a preliminary maximal test was also evaluated. METHODS:AEE was estimated in eighteen active adults (4 women and 14 men; 25 ± 4 yr) with indirect calor
