Mean room-measured and device-estimated EE, standard error (SE) of the estimate, root mean squared error (RMSE) and %RMSE. Measured EE values differ due to different sample sizes and participants for each device.

*

Harris-Benedict equation adjustment.

Estimated EE from subject-specific linear regression model (Actical only, all activities).

Estimated EE from subject specific linear regression model without cycling (Actical only).

^

3-hour comparison.

a

Significant difference from measured.

b

Significant difference from Shoes.
