*P<0.01 vs measured values.
Measured BMR, basal metabolic rate measured by indirectly calorimeter; PALACC, physical activity level estimated by the tri-axial accelerometer; PALDLW, physical activity level calculated as the total energy expenditure measured by the double labelled water method and divided by the basal metabolic rate measured by an indirect calorimeter; TEEACC, total energy expenditure estimated by the tri-axial accelerometer; TEEDLW, total energy expenditure measured by the double labelled water method.
