Table 2.

Energy expenditure, physical activity levels, and step counts during 24-h calorimeter stays in Protocol 1 ^a

	L-day	M-day	V-day
24-h EE (kcal/day)	2228 ± 143	2816 ± 197^c	2813 ± 163^c

BMR (kcal/day)	1577 ± 129	1553 ± 114	1627 ± 157

Physical activity level ^b	1.42 ± 0.10	1.82 ± 0.14^c	1.74 ± 0.15^c

Steps (counts/day)	8973 ± 543	29588 ± 1126^c	23755 ± 1038^{c d}

^aValues are means ± SDs, L-day: low activity day, M-day: a day with high-frequency moderate physical activity, V-day: a day with high-frequency vigorous physical activity, 24-h EE: 24-hour total energy expenditure, BMR: basal metabolic rate

^bPhysical activity level was calculated as 24-h EE divided by BMR

^cSignificant differences compared with values for L-day in each variable (P < 0.05)

^dSignificant differences compared with values for M-day in each variable (P < 0.05)
