Establishing the amount of energy needed to cover the energy demand of children doing sport training and thus ensuring they achieve an even energy balance requires the resting energy expenditure (REE) to be estimated. One of the methods that measures REE is the indirect calorimetry method, which may be influenced by many factors, including body composition, gender, age, height or blood pressure. The aim of the study was to assess the correlation between the resting energy expenditure of children regularly playing football and selected factors that influence the REE in this group. The study was conducted among 219 children aged 9 to 17 using a calorimeter, a device used to assess body composition by the electrical bioimpedance method by means of segment analyzer and a blood pressure monitor. The results of REE obtained by indirect calorimetry were compared with the results calculated using the ready-to-use formula, the Harris Benedict formula. The results showed a significant correlation of girls’ resting energy expenditure with muscle mass and body height, while boys’ resting energy expenditure was correlated with muscle mass and body water content. The value of the REE was significantly higher (p ≤ 0.001) than the value of the basal metabolic rate calculated by means of Harris Benedict formula. The obtained results can be a worthwhile suggestion for specialists dealing with energy demand planning in children, especially among those who are physically active to achieve optimal sporting successes ensuring proper functioning of their body.

Abstract Background As a feature of changing phenotype of IBD in the last decade, we observe increased rates of obesity and increased BMI values as well as changes in body composition. Special interest is the impact of biological therapy on body composition and prevalence of obesity in IBD patients, since the data on this topic are limited. The aim of this study was to determine body composition and resting energy expenditure of patients treated with biological therapy. Methods The study included 74 patients (39 male and 35 female) at the Clinical Hospital Center Zagreb (52 patients with Crohn’s disease and 22 with ulcerative colitis) treated with infliximab/adalimumab/ustekinumab/vedolizumab. Resting energy expenditure was measured by the indirect calorimetry (Cosmed Quark CPET) and compared with the predicted resting energy expenditure calculated using Harris-Benedict equation. Detailed medical and nutritional anamnesis was taken and we measured the following body composition parameters using TANITA body composition analyser, BC-420MA: body mass index (BMI), fat mass (FM), visceral fat rating (VFR), muscle mass (MM) and skeletal muscle mass index (SMI) was calculated. Results Increased BMI was observed in 32% of the patients, while 41% of the whole sample had an increased FM. The mean value of skeletal muscle index (SMI) was 9,061,15 kg m−2 and it revealed the presence of moderate sarcopenia in 32 patients (43%), of which 30 were men. Indirect calorimetry (IC) obtained the value of resting energy expenditure (REE), with the measured REE (1569,81240,95 kcal) on average significantly lower than predicted (1640,36255,28 kcal), t(73)=−3.023, p < 0.05. The results of this study revealed a significant prevalence of moderate sarcopenia in men, increased body mass and fat mass, and slightly lowered resting energy expenditure. There was no significant difference between body composition parameters and REE between different types of biological therapy. Conclusion The incidence of classical forms of malnutrition in this group of patients is significantly lower in comparison with standard therapy and previous experience. Most of the patients were well nourished and we observed trends toward overweight and sarcopenic obesity in some patients. A slight decrease in REE in the whole sample could be a reflection of impact of biological therapy on fat tissue and profound modulation of lipid metabolism as well as decreased muscle mass and physical activity level of the patients.

Purpose Waste products of metabolism accumulate in patients with chronic kidney disease, and require clearance by haemodialysis (HD). We wished to determine whether there was an association between resting energy expenditure (REE) and total energy expenditure (TEE) in HD patients and body composition. Subjects/Methods We determined REE by recently validated equations (CKD equation) and compared REE with that estimated by standard equations for REE, and TEE calculated from patient reported physical activity, in HD patients with corresponding body composition measured by dual energy X-ray absorptiometry (DEXA) scanning. Results We studied 107 patients, 69 male (64.5%), mean age 62.7 ± 15.1 years. The CKD equation REE was 72.5 ± 13.3 watts (W) and TEE 83.2 ± 9.7 W There was a strong association between REE with body surface area (BSA) (r2 = 0.80), total soft lean and fat lean tissue mass (r2 = 0.69), body mass index (BMI) (r2 = 0.34), all p<0.001. REE estimated using the modified Harris Benedict, Mifflin St. Jeor, Katch McArdle, Bernstein and Robertson equations underestimated REE compared to the CKD equation. TEE was more strongly associated with BSA (r2 = 0.51), appendicular muscle mass (r2 = 0.42), than BMI (r2 = 0.15) all p<0.001. TEE was greater for those employed (104.9 ± 10.7 vs. 83.1 ± 12.3 W, p<0.001), and with no co-morbidity (88.7 ± 14.8 vs. 82.7 ± 12.3 W, P<0.05). Conclusions Standard equations underestimate REE in HD patients compared to the CKD equation. TEE was greater in those with more skeletal muscle mass, in those who were employed and in those with the least comorbidity. More metabolically active patients may well require greater dialytic clearances.

Peak height velocity (PHV) is the period where the maximum rate of growth occurs. The moment the sports player reaches PHV can be estimated by monitoring the growth of body structures. The aim of this study was to assess changes in resting energy expenditure (REE), body composition and blood pressure in young, male soccer players between the pre-PHV, circa-PHV and post-PHV periods. This transverse study was conducted among 184 children aged 9 to 17 and included measurements of the resting energy expenditure (REE) using indirect calorimetry, body composition (bioimpedance) and blood pressure (sphygmomanometer). In addition, births in each quartile were analyzed. Children in the pre-PHV group had significantly lower REE values compared to the other two groups (p < 0.0001). The differences in the value of the REE between the children in the circum and post groups were not statistically significant. Additionally, the fat-free mass was significantly lower in the pre-PHV period compared to the other two periods (p < 0.0001), and the same relationship concerned the z-score body mass index (BMI) and systolic blood pressure. Early-born players were overrepresented (p < 0.05).

Objective To determine longitudinal measurements of resting energy expenditure (REE) by indirect calorimetry (IC) in healthy term infants during the first 2 months of life. Study Design An outpatient prospective pilot study was performed in healthy term infants to estimate REE by measuring expired gas fractions of oxygen (O2) and carbon dioxide (CO2) with IC in a respiratory and metabolic steady state. Results A total of 30 measurements were performed. Fourteen subjects completed measurements at both 1 and 2 months of life, and two subjects had only measurements made at 1 month of life. Mean REE values were 64.1 ± 12.7 and 58.4 ± 14.3 kcal/kg/d at 1 and 2 months of age, respectively. Mean O2 consumption and CO2 production measurements were 9.3 ± 2.0 and 7.7 ± 1.2 mL/kg/min and 8.1 ± 2.2 and 6.4 ± 1.1 mL/kg/min at 1 and 2 months of age, respectively. Conclusion This pilot study demonstrates longitudinal measurements of REE by IC in healthy term infants during the first 2 months of life. We also demonstrate that, overall, there is consistency in REE values in this population, with a likely decrease in individual longitudinal measurements over the first 2 months of life.
