Deciphering the constrained total energy expenditure model in humans by associating accelerometer-measured physical activity from wrist and hip

Abstract The constrained total energy expenditure (TEE) model posits that progressive increases in physical activity (PA) lead to increases in TEE; but after certain PA threshold, TEE plateaus. Then, a compensatory reduction in the expenditure of non-essential activities constrains the TEE. We hypot...
