Table 1. Energy expenditure (EE) in kcal.kg−1.hr−1 and METs, and accelerometer counts (per minute) for each activity.
| Activity | EE (kcal.kg−1.hr−1) | EE (METs) | Counts.min−1 | |
| Sedentary | Lying | 2.01 (0.54) | 1.26 (0.26) | 62%* |
| Sitting | 2.25 (0.74) | 1.42 (0.45) | 66%* | |
| Light | Slow walking | 4.74 (1.06) | 3.02 (0.75) | 1592 (783) |
| Moderate | Brisk walking | 6.50 (1.51) | 4.15 (1.08) | 2879 (1042) |
| Vigorous | Jogging | 10.59 (1.58) | 6.77 (1.30) | 4835 (1424) |
| Hopscotch | 8.96 (1.31) | 5.74 (1.13) | 4299 (1162) | |
| Basketball | 10.67 (1.98) | 6.83 (1.51) | 3301 (1079) |
EE = Energy expenditure calculated from VO2 measures as 1LO2 = 4.825 kcal.
METs calculated as activity EE (kcal.kg−1.hr−1)/individual BMR.
Values expressed as mean (standard deviation).
* = % of zero counts.
