Design outcomes
Primary
| Measure | Time frame |
|---|---|
| Resting energy expenditure will be assessed using indirect calorimetry. Oxygen consumption and carbon dioxide production will be measured. The respiratory quotient will be derived from oxygen consumption and carbon dioxide production. | — |
Secondary
| Measure | Time frame |
|---|---|
| Body composition (fat and fat free mass) will be determined by bioelectrical impedance analyses. Physical activity will be assessed using an Actigraph. The intensity of physical activity (sedentary, light, moderate, and vigorous physical activity), steps per day and metabolic equivalents of physical activity will be derived. | — |
