Energy balance
Modifications to a whole room indirect calorimeter allow accurate measurement of energy expenditure in 1-min intervals.
Practitioners can use this modified calorimeter to study acute effects of food, exercise, or drugs on energy expenditure.
StrongSupportsmedium confidence
We describe modifications made to our whole room indirect calorimeter (respiratory chamber) to allow accurate measurement of energy expenditure over time periods as short as 1 min.
Why this rating
The study presents a significant methodological advancement in measuring energy expenditure.
