Quantify the type, duration, frequency, and intensity of various
physical activities in free living for a diversified population
|
|
IDEEA can help to evaluate: the common types of activities, speed of locomotion, and
EE during work in an office, factory, or in the field, class time in school,
leisure time at home, military training or expedition, or most indoor/outdoor
activities. You can also assess the onset, duration, frequency, intensity, and
amount of PA/exercise during these activities; the contribution of each
category of PA/exercise to the total amount of PA/exercise; and types and
duration of sedentary activities and resting periods among free-living adults.

|
Estimate long-term variations in physical
activities (such as labor, work, and leisure), and energy requirement during
these activities and their relations with body composition and weight
regulation.
IDEEA system can answer these questions: |
 |
What is the amount of energy expenditure caused by physical activity/exercise (EEact) during free-living?
|
|
What is the variation in EEact for a person?
|
|
Are there patterns, either temporal or event-related, in this variation? If yes, do
they exist on a daily, weekly, or seasonal basis?
|
|
Are there any relationships among total physical activity/exercise, energy expenditure, body composition, gender,
age, and fitness level?
|
|
What is the long-term relationship between type, intensity, duration, and frequency
of voluntary exercise or job requirement and body composition, body weight?
|
|
Help in determining reasons for within- and
between- subjects variation in physical activity.IDEEA can help to investigate these questions:
|
|
Is there a relationship between changes in energy intake and in the amount and
pattern of physical activity or labor?
|
|
Is there a long-term correlation (such as seasonal changes) between body
composition and the amount and intensity of physical activity or labor?
|
|
What are the potential determinants that influence physical activity during work or leisure time?
Are those occupational, seasonal, societal, or geographical related?
|
|
Are there any additional factors that affect physical activity/exercise, energy expenditure caused by physical activity, and
total energy expenditure, (e.g., family obesity history, ethnic group, income, child-obese
history, or disease states)?
|
|
High accuracy of IDEEA
system will significantly reduce the amount of tests needed to derive
significant results in shorter time.
