Abstract
Current lifestyle and diet guidelines recommend to balance caloric intake and physical activity (11). One of the most common methods to assess caloric intake is to determine resting metabolic rate (RMR) and multiply this value with an estimated physical activity level (PAL). Based on the limited availability of calorimetric chambers, indirect calorimetry via gas exchange analysis is a recommended and more often applied method to calculate a persoǹ s RMR with an acceptable error (5%) (4). However, both methods require expensive equipment, highly skilled personnel Tobias Enegeroff Department of Sports Medicine Goethe University Frankfurt Ginnheimer Landstrasse 39 60487 Frankfurt am Main, Germany : engeroff@sport.uni-frankfurt.de SCHLÜSSELWÖRTER: Sedentäres Verhalten, Grundumsatz, Körperliche Aktivität
期刊介绍:
The Deutsche Zeitschrift fuer Sportmedizin - German Journal of Sports Medicine has been
founded in 1951 and is dedicated to the biomedical science and clinical practice of Sports
Medicine and its border fields which investigate the influence of exercise, physical training
and sports as well as lack of exercise to healthy and sick people of all age-groups, related to
prevention, diagnosis, therapy, rehabilitation and physical training.
Manuscripts which deal with actual scientific and medical findings, new hypotheses, actual
controversies and problems in real life will be published. Possible Topics are physiology
and pathophysiology of exercise, medical and biological findings, the medical therapy of
exercise-related medical problems, epidemiology of sedentary lifestyle and related
disorders, therapy of sports injuries - especially the conservative postoperative treatment
of injuries -, medical training and rehabilitation medicine, as well as special social,
cultural, psychological and special science-related aspects of the entire scientific field.
