Outcome measures
Primary outcome
Measured physical activity (including the measurement of minutes cycling,
sitting, standing, walking and lying), resting energy expenditure and total
energy expenditure (measured with the activity pod and with the doubly labelled
water method).
Secondary outcome
At the start of the trial the test persons have to come to the lab to collect
an urine sample, drink the doubly labelled water and stay over for a
measurement of their sleeping metabolic rate while sleeping in the respiration
chamber. The next morning their body composition is measured by under water
weighing, a 10 minute walk test and a 10 minute cycling test is performed for
distinguishing moderate versus high activity intensity with an activity pod and
they have to collect another urine sample for the doubly labelled water test.
This collection of urine samples has to be done also at days 8 and 15 of the
trial period. During these two weeks trial period persons wear during waking
hours a belt with an activity pod attached to it.
Background summary
Physical activity is a very important factor for the prevention of chronic
diseases like diabetes or cardiovascular diseases, prevention of weight gain,
the induction of weight loss and for weight maintenance. However, people in
daily life do not know whether they move enough or should still move more to
improve on their health condition. Philips Lifestyle Incubator, New Wellness
Solutions developed an activity pod together with a web-service, which give
people the possibility to track their physical activity and get feedback and
coaching on physical activity during their daily life. Within the current study
we want to validate the activity pod and to find out which activities, e.g. the
short-minute walks during the day, the transportation from home to work etc, in
a daily life situation are most relevant to improve one*s physical activity
level.
Study objective
The purpose of this study is 2-fold: To validate the measured energy
expenditure with the activity pod against the golden standard for the
measurement of energy expenditure, the doubly labelled water method and to find
out which activities as measured with the activity pod are most relevant to
improve one*s physical activity in daily life.
