Definition

  • The ability to measure free-living energy expenditure is important given that most precise techniques require an individual to remain in a clinical setting for hours at a time. Therefore, the emergence of a novel technique that is noninvasive and allows a person to go about his or her normal daily activities moved the field of energy metabolism into a new era.
