Physical activity and exercise capacity assessments are measures of energy expenditure of an individual. Exercise capacity is an outcome measure, status indicator in health and diseases as well as a predictor of morbidity and mortality. Physical activity measures are seen as indicators of exercise capacity. However, the extent to which energy expenditure results derived from self-report physical activity can substitute physical performance tests remains inconclusive. This book presents...

Physical activity and exercise capacity assessments are measures of energy expenditure of an individual. Exercise capacity is an outcome measure, status indicator in health and diseases as well as a predictor of morbidity and mortality. Physical activity measures are seen as indicators of exercise capacity. However, the extent to which energy expenditure results derived from self-report physical activity can substitute physical performance tests remains inconclusive. This book presents a study on the relationship between physical activity and exercise capacity among young adults.
