TL;DR

The caloric estimates of energy expended in physical activity derived from the Caltrac AC, were significantly higher in comparison with measured AEE in these free-living children.

Abstract

The Caltrac was not a meaningful predictor of AEE in our sample. The caloric estimates of energy expended in physical activity derived from the Caltrac AC, were significantly higher in comparison with measured AEE in these free-living children.
