| Research Abstract |
The aim of study is to propose the new predictive model for physical activity of children based on the difference between adults and children on relationship of synthetic acceleration to metabolic equivalents(METs). When we used the adult predictive equation to estimate the physical activity of children, it led to overestimation comparing to measured values using by doubly labeled water method. It means that we must use the specific predictive model for children to estimate children's METs more correctly.
