Basic Examples (2) 

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]=

Scope (3) 

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]=

Options (5) 

DelimiterCharacter (1) 

Use "DelimiterCharacter" to specify how to split up activities in a string:

In[6]:=

Out[6]=

MetabolicProperties (1) 

Specify the desired metabolic properties using the "MetabolicProperties" option:

In[7]:=

Out[7]=

BodyWeight (1) 

Use the "BodyWeight" option to specify the weight variable used to compute energy expenditure:

In[8]:=

Out[8]=

UnitSystem (2) 

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]=

Properties and Relations (1) 

PhysicalActivityCalculator uses Interpreter["PhysicalActivity"] internally to convert strings into computable "PhysicalActivity" entities:

In[11]:=

Out[11]=

In[12]:=

Out[12]=

Possible Issues (2) 

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]=

Neat Examples (4) 

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]=
