| Summary |
This manual of practical guidelines is written by internationally known experts in exercise physiology and exercise epidemiology. It's the only book that covers all available methods for assessing energy expenditure and physical activity. It includes comprehensive references on the topic and highlights promising areas for future research in measurement methodology. And the extensive appendixes include a number of useful questionnaire and interview forms that represent the most widely used - and adaptable - resources available. Measuring physical activity levels is a formidable task. Measuring Physical Activity and Energy Expenditure smooths the way, bringing together the diverse literature on the subject and providing state-of-the-art, scientific methods for assessing physical activity and energy expenditure |
