A method associating energy expenditure with a particular type of physical activity

摘要

A database comprising information categorizing a physical activity into categories and information indicating the points value (level of energy expenditure) associated with each category. Preferably the results are used to formulate an improved program of physical activities for an individual in which the cumulative points value achieves or exceeds a target number of points for the individual. Optionally the activity categories may be categorised by activity components such as weight-bearing or non-weight bearing, full impact or non-impact, propulsion or stationary components.
