성인의 13가지 신체활동의 에너지 소비량 및 가속도계 정확성의 남녀비교

Purpose: The purpose of this study was to measure energy expenditure (EE) the metabolic equivalents (METs) of 13 common physical activities by using a portable telemetry gas exchange system ($K4b^2$) and to assess the accuracy of the accelerometer (Actigraph $GT3X^+$) by gender in Korean adults. Methods: A total of 109 adults (54 males, 55 females) with normal BMI (body mass index) participated in this study. EE and METs of 13 selected activities were simultaneously measured by the $K4b^2$ portable indirect calorimeter and predicted by the $GT3X^+$ Actigraph accelerometer. The accuracy of the accelerometer was assessed by comparing the predicted with the measured EE and METs. Results: EE (kcal/kg/hr) and METs of treadmill walking (3.2 km/h, 4.8 km/h and 5.6 km/h) and running (6.4 km/h) were significantly higher in female than in male participants (p < 0.05). On the other hand, the accelerometer significantly underestimated the EE and METs for all activities except descending stairs, moderate walking, and fast walking in males as well as descending stairs in females. Low intensity activities had the highest rate of accurate classifications (88.3% in males and 91.3% females), whereas vigorous intensity activities had the lowest rate of accurate classifications (43.6% in males and 27.7% in females). Across all activities, the rate of accurate classification was significantly higher in males than in females (75.2% and 58.3% respectively, p < 0.01). Error between the accelerometer and $K4b^2$ was smaller in males than in females, and EE and METs were more accurately estimated during treadmill activities than other activities in both males and females. Conclusion: The accelerometer underestimated EE and METs across various activities in Korean adults. In addition, there appears to be a gender difference in the rate of accurate accelerometer classification of activities according to intensity. Our results indicate the need to develop new accelerometer equations for this population, and gender differences should be considered. 본 연구는 20 ~ 60대의 성인 109명 (남 54명, 여 55명)을 대상으로 13가지 대표적 신체활동에 대한 에너지 소비량(EE)및 신체활동 강도 (METs)를 휴대용 호흡가스 분석기($K4b^2$)를 이용하여 측정하고 이를 기준으로 가속도계(Actigraph $GT3X^+$)의 정확성을 성별에 따라 평가하였다. 그 결과를 요약하면 다음과 같다. 1. 휴대용 호흡가스 분석기로 측정한 보통 달리기를 제외한 모든 트레드밀 활동의 단위체중당 에너지 소비량과 METs값은 여자가 남자 보다 유의하게 높았다. 13가지 대표 활동 중 눕기, 앉기 및 서기와 같은 움직임이 없는 활동은 에너지 소비량이 가장 낮은 것으로 나타났고, 남자는 계단 올라가기 (에너지 소비량 포함)에서 여자는 8 km/h 속도의 보통 달리기 (에너지 소비량값 포함)에서 에너지가 많이 소비되는 고강도 활동으로 나타났다. 2.
