  • Abstract
    This paper was focused on the human energy expenditure and metabolism. Since EE ends up as heat, direct or indirect physiological calorimetry was used to measure heat lost. For indirect calorimetry, metabolic carts, portable calorimeters and whole-room indirect calorimeters were used. Physical activity and heart rate monitoring were conducted.
