Design outcomes
Primary
| Measure | Time frame | Description |
|---|---|---|
| Resting Metabolic Rate by Indirect Calorimetry | At least 3 days | The within-subject coefficient of variation for resting metabolic rate (RMR) will be less than 10%. Testing will occur on non-consecutive days, with a compliance and menstrual cycle questionnaire prior to testing. |
Secondary
| Measure | Time frame | Description |
|---|---|---|
| Respiratory Quotient Variation | At least 3 days | The within-subject coefficient of variation for respiratory quotient (RQ) will be less than 10%. Testing will occur on non-consecutive days, with a compliance and menstrual cycle questionnaire prior to testing. |
| Sense Wear Mini Armband verses Indirect Calorimetry | At least 3 days | The limits of agreement of Sense Wear Mini Armband (SWA)-estimated resting energy expenditure (REE) with indirect calorimetry measures of REE will be large (+ 500 kcal). Testing will occur on non-consecutive days, with a compliance and menstrual cycle questionnaire prior to testing. |
