The National Collaborative on Childhood Obesity Research Web site presents the Youth Compendium and related materials to facilitate measurement of the energy cost of nearly 200 physical activities in children and youth. Applications for the private sector include the use of MET y in PA trackers and other applications. Public health agencies can use the MET y values for surveillance and as a resource to inform progress toward meeting national physical activity guidelines. The Youth Compendium of Physical Activities provides a list of 196 common activities in which youth participate and the estimated energy cost associated with each activity. Physical activity and generalized anxiety disorder: results from The I. Community leaders, parents, and health care professionals can identify activity types that promote healthful behaviors. Big little lies: a compendium and simulation of p. Educators can ask students to complete PA records to determine time spent in physical activities and to identify health-enhancing activities for classroom PA breaks. Researchers can use MET y values to estimate PA levels and determine changes in PA in intervention studies. To estimate the intensity of each activity, measured oxygen consumption (VO2) was divided by basal metabolic rate (Schofield age-, sex-, and mass-specific equations) to produce a youth MET (METy). References can be downloaded from the references page. activities were compiled in 16 activity categories to form a Youth Compendium of Physical Activities. 2011 Compendium categories in red are estimated MET values. The utility of the Youth Compendium was assessed by describing ways in which it can be used by a variety of audiences. 2011 Compendium categories in blue are activities with MET values supported in published literature. The Youth Compendium provides a list of 196 physical activities (PA) categorized by activity types, specific activities, and metabolic costs (youth metabolic equivalents of task ) as measured by indirect calorimetry. The purposes of this article are to: (a) describe the rationale and development of the Youth Compendium of Physical Activities (Youth Compendium) and (b) discuss the utility of the Youth Compendium for audiences in research, education, community, health care, public health, and the private sector.
