Comparison between equations for estimation of resting energy expenditure and indirect calorimetry in gymnasts
Abstract
Aim: to compare equations for estimating resting energy expenditure with values obtained by indirect calorimetry from rhythmic and artistic gymnasts. Methods: cross-sectional study with a convenience sample of 11 female gymnasts of a sports club in Porto Alegre, Brazil, that were evaluated about body fat percent, resting energy expenditure obtained by indirect calorimetry and by predictive equations of Harris-Benedict, Henry & Rees, FAO/WHO, Schofield, Katch & McArdle and the Institute of Medicine. Results: all athletes had healthy body fat percentages and none of the equations tested was correlated with the results of indirect calorimetry, especially not when resting energy expenditure according to indirect calorimetry was greater than 1400 calories. The Harris-Benedict equation differed the least from indirect calorimetry among all tested equations. resting energy expenditure by indirect calorimetry did not correlate to body composition, age, time since menarche or training. Conclusions: based on obtained data the predictive equations studied for estimating resting energy expenditure were not similar to the indirect calorimetry results, although the Harris-Benedict equation exhibited the smallest difference. Further studies are needed to elucidate this findings.
