To examine the accuracy of the Caltrac accelerometer for estimating energy expenditure (EE) during three exercise modes.
A subset of 31 women (mean (SEM) age 22.6 (5) years) as selected from a training study comparing various physiological parameters during race walking, running, and stepping. Subjects each performed mode specific graded exercise tests to peak VO2. Regression equations for VO2 v heart rate (HR) were generated from each individual's test data. EE (kcal and kJ) was estimated for each VO2 value based on the respiratory exchange ratio, and kcal v HR regression equations were generated to predict EE from each subject's HR data (EE-HR). HR in the field was monitored by telemetry, and two Caltrac monitors, one set for EE and one to give counts, were attached to a belt over opposite hips.
EE-HR was not significantly different across exercise modes. Caltrac overestimated EE (P < 0.01) in runners (14%) and walkers (19%) but underestimated EE in steppers by about 10% (P = 0.12).
The Caltrac is a reliable instrument but it did not accurately distinguish EE in running, race walking, or stepping in a group of young women.
研究Caltrac加速度计在三种运动模式下估算能量消耗(EE)的准确性。
从一项训练研究中选取31名女性(平均(标准误)年龄22.6(5)岁)作为子集,该研究比较了竞走、跑步和踏步过程中的各种生理参数。受试者分别进行特定模式的分级运动测试至峰值摄氧量(VO2)。根据每个个体的测试数据生成VO2与心率(HR)的回归方程。基于呼吸交换率为每个VO2值估算EE(千卡和千焦),并生成千卡与HR的回归方程以根据每个受试者的HR数据预测EE(EE-HR)。通过遥测监测现场的HR,并将两个Caltrac监测器,一个设置用于EE,一个用于计数,分别系在相对臀部上方的腰带上。
不同运动模式下的EE-HR无显著差异。Caltrac高估了跑步者(14%)和步行者(19%)的EE(P < 0.01),但低估了踏步者的EE约10%(P = 0.12)。
Caltrac是一种可靠的仪器,但在一组年轻女性中,它不能准确区分跑步、竞走或踏步时的EE。
