Activity‐related energy expenditure (AEE) is difficult to quantify, especially under sedentary conditions. Here, a model was developed using the detected type of physical activity (PA) and movement intensity (MI), based on a tri‐axial seismic accelerometer (DynaPort MiniMod; McRoberts B.V., The Hagu...
