Compute energy expenditure and other properties of various physical activities
ResourceFunction["PhysicalActivityCalculator"][activities] returns energy expenditure information for activities as a Dataset. | |
ResourceFunction["PhysicalActivityCalculator"][activities, format] returns information in the specified format. |
"activities" | a single string, with different activities and duration information separated by a delimiting character (default "\n") |
{"activity1","activity2",…} | a list of strings |
{{"activity1","duration1"},…} | a list of lists of activities and duration, with each element given as a string |
"DelimiterCharacter" | "," | character used to separate activities within a single string |
“MetabolicProperties" | {"EnergyExpenditure","MetabolicEquivalent", "FatBurned","OxygenConsumption"} | properties to be returned for each activity |
“BodyWeight" | Quantity[160,"Pounds"] | body weight described in Quantity to compute energy expenditure |
“UnitSystem" | "Imperial" | which unit system ("Metric" or "Imperial") to return results in |
Get energy expenditure information about activities specified in a text:
In[1]:= |
Out[1]= |
Get energy expenditure information about activities specified in lists of activities and duration:
In[2]:= |
Out[2]= |
Get energy expenditure information as an ASCII table, with columns delimited by pipe characters ("|"):
In[3]:= |
Out[3]= |
Get energy expenditure information as a List:
In[4]:= |
Out[4]= |
Get energy expenditure information as an Association:
In[5]:= |
Out[5]= |
Use "DelimiterCharacter" to specify how to split up activities in a string:
In[6]:= |
Out[6]= |
Specify the desired metabolic properties using the "MetabolicProperties" option:
In[7]:= |
Out[7]= |
Use the "BodyWeight" option to specify the weight variable used to compute energy expenditure:
In[8]:= |
Out[8]= |
Use "UnitSystem" to specify the units of the result:
In[9]:= |
Out[9]= |
For running exercises, speed information can be added for more specific energy expenditure computation:
In[10]:= |
Out[10]= |
PhysicalActivityCalculator uses Interpreter["PhysicalActivity"] internally to convert strings into computable "PhysicalActivity" entities:
In[11]:= |
Out[11]= |
In[12]:= |
Out[12]= |
Information about the duration of an activity is essential to compute specific energy expenditures:
In[13]:= |
Out[13]= |
More specific activities can be difficult to find data for:
In[14]:= |
Out[14]= |
Compute energy expenditure of daily activities:
In[15]:= |
Out[15]= |
Total duration of the record:
In[16]:= |
Out[16]= |
Total caloric expenditure:
In[17]:= |
Out[17]= |
Visualize the daily activity pattern:
In[18]:= |
Out[18]= |
