      Dugas, Lara R.; Kliethermes, Stephanie; Plange-Rhule, Jacob; Tong, Liping; Bovet, Pascal; Forrester, Terrence E.; Lambert, Estelle V.; Schoeller, Dale A.; Durazo-Arvizu, Ramon A.; Shoham, David A.; Cao, Guichan; Brage, Søren; Ekelund, Ulf; Cooper, Richard S.; Luke, Amy (Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2017-01-19)
      Background. Increasing population-levels of physical activity (PA) is a controversial strategy for managing the obesity epidemic, given the conflicting evidence for weight loss from PA alone per se. We measured PA and ...

(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2021)
      Total daily energy expenditure (“total expenditure”) reflects daily energy needs and is a critical variable in human health and physiology, but its trajectory over the life course is poorly studied. We analyzed a large, ...
    • Physical activity and fat-free mass during growth and in later life 

      Westerterp, Klaas R.; Yamada, Yosuke; Sagayama, Hiroyuki; Ainslie, Philip N.; Andersen, Lene F.; Anderson, Liam J.; Arab, Lenore; Baddou, Issaad; Bedu-Addo, Kweku; Blaak, Ellen E.; Blanc, Stéphane; Bovet, Pascal; Buchowski, Maciej S.; Butte, Nancy F.; Close, Graeme L.; Cooper, Jamie A.; Das, Sai Krupa; Cooper, Richard; Dugas, Lara R.; Ekelund, Ulf; Entringer, Sonja; Forrester, Terrence; Fudge, Barry W.; Gurven, Michael; Hambly, Catherine; El Hamdouchi, Asmaa; Hoos, Marije B.; Hu, Sumei; Joonas, Noorjehan; Joosen, Annemiek M.; Katzmarzyk, Peter; Kempen, Kitty P.; Kimura, Misaka; Kraus, William E.; Kushner, Robert F.; Lambert, Estelle V.; Leonard, William R.; Lessan, Nader; Martin, Corby K.; Medin, Anine Christine; Meijer, Erwin P.; Morehen, James C.; Morton, James P.; Neuhouser, Marian L.; Nicklas, Theresa A.; Ojiambo, Robert M.; Pietiläinen, Kirsi H.; Pitsiladis, Yannis P.; Plange-Rhule, Jacob; Plasqui, Guy; Prentice, Ross L.; Rabinovich, Roberto A.; Racette, Susan B.; Raichlen, David A.; Ravussin, Eric; Reynolds, Rebecca M.; Roberts, Susan B.; Schuit, Albertine J.; Stice, Eric; Urlacher, Samuel S.; Valenti, Giulio; Wilson, George; Wood, Brian M.; Yanovski, Jack; Yoshida, Tsukasa; Zhang, Xueying; Murphy-Alford, Alexia J.; Loechl, Cornelia U.; Luke, Amy; Pontzer, Herman; Rood, Jennifer C.; Schoeller, Dale A.; Wong, William W.; Speakman, John R.; Bonomi, Alberto G.; Bouten, Carlijn V.
