A youth compendium of physical activities

Activity codes and metabolic intensities

Samenvatting

This article describes the development of a Youth Compendium, which presents the energy costs of 196 physical activities derived from pediatric data only, expressed in terms of METy for age categories 6-9, 10-12, 13-15, and 16-18 yr.

This Youth Compendium, which will be housed on the National Collaborative for Childhood Obesity Research website at www.nccor.org/nccor-tools/youthcompendium, will be a valuable resource for researchers and practitioners interested in improving the health of children and adolescents through physical activity.
