Energy expenditure per minute in different activities and body positions and its association with the classification as physically active or inactive in daily life in individuals with COPD

Abstract: Objective: To describe and compare energy expenditure (EE)/minute walking and in different body postures in individuals with COPD; and to investigate if EE/minute walking is a predictor of their classification as physically active or inactive. Methods: Physical activity (PA) in daily life was objectively assessed using two PA monitors for 7 days and data were analyzed on a minute-by-minute basis. Predominant minutes were separated into walking, standing, sitting, and reclined, and EE/minute (a reflection of PA… Show more

“…By highlighting the potential usefulness of relative intensity PA and combining this with postures, the work of Brito et al 4 may also inspire the field to expand the interpretation of sedentary behaviours (SBs; reclining and sitting in this study). Indeed, the minute-by-minute data collected by the SWA (with higher resolutions possible with other devices) offers the potential for further insight into the different types of SB.…”

“…This speaks to the value of expanding the assessment of PA beyond variables such as steps/day or time spent walking. Brito et al 4 perform an interesting coupling of data (posture and EE) to dig deeper into intensities of different postures and behaviours. The authors report higher EE/minute values for walking and standing compared with sitting and reclining for patients classified as physical active; while physically inactive patients presented similar EE/ minute values across postures.…”

“…For people with COPD, low intensity PA might actually incur significant energy cost because of truncated physical capacity and high respiratory effort. In the journal this month, Brito et al 9 account for this by comparing the readouts from two contemporaneously worn monitors providing information about time spent walking relative to energy expenditure during walking in a cohort of patients with COPD. They show that both time spent walking and energy expended during walking determine whether an individual is deemed “physically active” but energy expenditure (ie intensity) was more predictive.…”
