The bioelectrical impedance analysis (BIA) international database: aims, scope, and call for data
Bioelectrical impedance analysis (BIA) is a technique widely used for estimating body composition and health-related parameters. The technology is relatively simple, quick, and non-invasive, and is currently u...

Total daily energy expenditure has declined over the past three decades due to declining basal expenditure, not reduced activity expenditure
Obesity is caused by a prolonged positive energy balance1,2. Whether reduced energy expenditure stemming from reduced activity levels contributes is debated3,4. Here we show that in both sexes, total energy expen...

Skeletal muscle mass can be estimated by creatine (methyl‐d3) dilution and is correlated with fat-free mass in active young males
Assessing whole-body skeletal muscle mass (SMM) and fat-free mass (FFM) is essential for the adequate nutritional management and training evaluation of athletes and trained individuals. This study aimed to det...

Open AccessTotal energy expenditure is repeatable in adults but not associated with short-term changes in body composition
Low total energy expenditure (TEE, MJ/d) has been a hypothesized risk factor for weight gain, but repeatability of TEE, a critical variable in longitudinal studies of energy balance, is understudied. We examin...

Open AccessEffects of an overnight high-carbohydrate meal on muscle glycogen after rapid weight loss in male collegiate wrestlers
Severe rapid weight loss (RWL) induces a decrease in muscle glycogen (mGly). Nevertheless, adequate carbohydrate intake after RWL has not been reported to optimize muscle glycogen following a weigh-in the even...
