Comparison between formulas for estimation of resting energy expenditure with indirect calorimetry in amateur cyclists
Abstract
Introduction and Objective: The increase in the practice of amateur physical activity, as well as the pursuit of performance by these individuals, aimed to evaluate whether the formulas indicated in the literature for the estimation of resting energy expenditure in athletes, accurately calculates the expenditure amateur cyclists when compared to what is measured by indirect calorimetry. Materials and Methods: Study approved by the Research Ethics Committee of the Unifafibe University Center, Bebedouro-SP. We collected data on weight, height, body mass index, waist and hip circumferences, fat mass and fat free mass by means of electrical bioimpedance, resting energy expenditure by indirect calorimetry and by formulas indicated in the literature. Statistical analysis: T test and Wilcoxon test. The agreement analysis between the indirect calorimetry and the formulas indicated in the literature were performed by means of Bland-Altmann. It was adopted p<.05. Results: Sample: twelve (12) volunteers, all male, with a mean age of 36.4 years (+ 6.4). The agreement analyzes between indirect calorimetry and Harris Benedict, FAO / WHO and Cunningham formulas, respectively, provided: r2 = 0.81, r2 = 0.65, r2 = 0.84. Discussion: Athlete formulas can be used in amateurs, making it a low-cost and reliable tool for professionals serving this growing public in nutrition offices. Conclusion: All formulas used in this study are indicated to calculate resting energy expenditure in amateur cyclists, being more accessible when compared to indirect calorimetry.
