Total daily energy expenditure ("total expenditure") reflects needs and is a critical variable in human health physiology, but its trajectory over the life course poorly studied. We analyzed large, diverse database of total measured by doubly labeled water method for males females aged 8 days to 95 years. increased with fat-free mass power-law manner, four distinct stages. Fat-free mass-adjusted accelerates rapidly neonates ~50% above adult values at ~1 year; declines slowly levels ~20...
Abstract The current study implemented a two-part design to (1) assess the vitamin D concentration of large cohort non-vitamin supplemented UK-based athletes and 30 age-matched healthy non-athletes (2) examine effects 5000 IU · day−1 D3 supplementation for 8-weeks on musculoskeletal performance in placebo controlled trial. Vitamin was determined as severely deficient if serum 25(OH)D < 12.5 nmol l−1, 12.5–30 l−1 inadequate 30–50 l−1. We demonstrate that 62% (38/61) 73% controls (22/30)...
Abstract Nutritional epidemiology aims to link dietary exposures chronic disease, but the instruments for evaluating intake are inaccurate. One way identify unreliable data and sources of errors is compare estimated intakes with total energy expenditure (TEE). In this study, we used International Atomic Energy Agency Doubly Labeled Water Database derive a predictive equation TEE using 6,497 measures in individuals aged 4 96 years. The resultant regression predicts expected from easily...
Understanding the impacts of activity on energy balance is crucial. Increasing levels may bring diminishing returns in expenditure because compensatory responses non-activity expenditures.1Pontzer H.

The doubly labeled water (DLW) method measures total energy expenditure (TEE) in free-living subjects. Several equations are used to convert isotopic data into TEE. Using the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) DLW database (5,756 measurements of adults and children), we show considerable variability is introduced by different equations. estimated rCO2 sensitive dilution space ratio (DSR) two isotopes. Based on performance validation studies, propose a new equation based estimate mean...
Water is essential for survival, but one in three individuals worldwide (2.2 billion people) lacks access to safe drinking water. intake requirements largely reflect water turnover (WT), the used by body each day. We investigated determinants of human WT 5604 people from ages 8 days 96 years 23 countries using isotope-tracking (
Twenty children undergoing general surgery and 20 otorhinolaryngological were simultaneously assessed on two occasions by a doctor parent using three pain scoring systems. The systems used the Objective Pain Score, four point numerical score 100 mm visual analogue scale. There was high correlation between scores given parents for all with consistently giving slightly higher than doctor. coefficients parental medical in recovery 0.77 0.70 0.69 scale (p < 0.01).

Despite the performance concerns of dehydration in other sports, there are currently no data on effects rapid weight-loss physical and cognitive jockeys a sport-specific context. In randomised crossover design, eight Great Britain (GB) male licensed were assessed for chest strength, leg simulated riding (assessed by maximum pushing frequency mechanical simulator during final two furlongs 2 mile race) simple reaction time after performing 45 min exercise, which euhydration was maintained...
Physical activity may be a way to increase and maintain fat-free mass (FFM) in later life, similar the prevention of fractures by increasing peak bone mass.
In mammals, trait variation is often reported to be greater among males than females. However, date, mainly only morphological traits have been studied. Energy expenditure represents the metabolic costs of multiple physical, physiological, and behavioral traits. could exhibit particularly high male through a cumulative effect if those mostly variation, or lack many them do not. Sex differences in energy little explored. We analyzed large database on adult humans (1494 3108 females)...
Given the requirement of professional jockeys to make-weight daily, we tested hypothesis that Flat and National Hunt (Jump) would display compromised health markers (bone health, vitamin D, liver kidney function mood) compared with established clinical norms, affected greater. Daily energy intake was lower in Jump (6.11±1.25 vs. 7.47±0.83 MJ.day<sup> − 1</sup>, P=0.01) whereas there no difference urine osmolality (811±198 678±317 mOsmol.kg<sup> 1</sup> respectively, P=0.13).

Abstract Low total energy expenditure (TEE, MJ/d) has been a hypothesized risk factor for weight gain, but repeatability of TEE, critical variable in longitudinal studies balance, is understudied. We examine repeated doubly labeled water (DLW) measurements TEE 348 adults and 47 children from the IAEA DLW Database (mean ± SD time interval: 1.9 2.9 y) to assess if adjusted age, sex, fat-free mass, fat mass associated with changes or body composition. Here, we report that high adults, not...
Flat jockeys in Great Britain (GB) are classified as apprentices if they aged less than 26 years and/or have ridden 95 winners. To gain experience, allocated a weight allowance of up to 7 lb (3.2 kg). Given that there is no off-season GB flat horseracing, required maintain their racing all year round. In light recent work determining current considerably heavier previous generations and smaller increases been made the minimum weight, aim this study was assess achievable. make (50.8 kg) with...
Whilst the project to increase workforce mobility is part of a common labour force policy across European Union, for some social workers, it has also been coupled with an aspiration develop pan-European identity within profession (Lorenz, 1994, 2000; Frost, 2008). In this article, taking island Ireland as example, we examine empirical data on movement workers in recent years, both and inward from outside island, consider challenges opportunities presented profession, drawing British...
Professional jockeys are unique among weight-making athletes, as they often required to make weight daily and, in many cases, all year-round. Common methods employed by include dehydration, severe calorie restriction, and sporadic eating, of which have adverse health effects. In contrast, this article outlines a structured diet exercise plan, 22-yr-old professional National Hunt jockey an attempt reduce from 70.3 62.6 kg, that does not rely on any the aforementioned techniques. Before...
Professional jockeys are unique amongst weight-making athletes in that they required to make weight on a daily basis by often using potentially hazardous methods, such as food deprivation, dehydration, and forced vomiting. To allow the prescription of accurate energy intake (EI), it is essential understand requirements jockeys; however, these data currently not known. Therefore, we measured expenditure (EE) professional during simulated race ride for working day (nonracing) involved typical...
To test the hypothesis that daily weight-making is more problematic to health in male compared with female jockeys, we bone density and resting metabolic rate (RMR) weight-matched Flat jockeys. RMR (kcal·kg −1 lean mass) was lower males females as well bone-density Z scores at hip lumbar spine. Data suggest lifestyle of jockeys compromise severely than females, possibly because making weight frequently.
The present study assessed the effects of a diet and exercise intervention in jockeys on body composition, metabolism, bone mental health. 10 followed an individually prescribed 6-wk (Carbohydrate=2.5–3.5 g/kg, Protein=2.5 Fat=1.0 g/kg). Body mass (59.2±4.6 vs. 57.6±4.5 kg), fat (7.5±3.5 6.2±2.6) (13.1±5.9 11.5±4.9%) all decreased (P<0.05) from pre to post-intervention whilst lean (47.1±5.3 47.0±5.5 kg) was maintained (P=0.80). RMR (1703±329 1975±313 kcal.d<sup>-1</sup>), VO<sub>2max</sub>...
Despite consistent reports of poor bone health in male jockeys, it is not yet known if this a consequence low energy availability or lack an osteogenic stimulus. Given the rationale that contributing factor health, we tested hypothesis both hip and lumbar mineral density (BMD) should progressively worsen accordance with years riding. In cross-sectional design, apprentice (n = 17) senior 14) jockeys (matched for body mass fat-free mass) were assessed spine BMD, as well measured predicted...
