Heart rate-based models may estimate energy expenditure in children; leaves open validation in larger cohorts before clinical adoption.
Does a heart rate recording method accurately predict energy expenditure compared to whole body indirect calorimetry in 10-year-old children?
Individual polynomial relationships between heart rate and energy expenditure can predict total daily energy expenditure with a mean difference of 7.6% compared to indirect calorimetry in children.
Bitar et al. (1996) studied this question.
