Brief Summary
The aim of this study was to validate functions for estimating energy expenditure in controlled and free-living conditions. This method was based on accelerometry data acquired from smartphones worn in a trouser pocket. The developed functions have been compared to the estimations provided by three research devices named Fitmate, Armband and Actiheart.

Controlled conditions
EXPERIMENTALVolunteers were asked to perform several activities such as walking at different paces, running, sitting, standing still or taking public transportation for about 1h30 They wore 3 research sensors that estimated energy expenditure: Fitmate, Armband and Actiheart. They also wore smartphones (in front pant pockets) that collected accelerometry data.
Free-living conditions
EXPERIMENTALVolunteers were asked to wear sensors during about 12 hours, one day. They wore 2 research sensors that estimated energy expenditure: Armband and Actiheart. They also wore smartphones (in front pant pockets) that collected accelerometry data.
Interventions
The 13 volunteers in controlled conditions performed each of the nine activities several times according to the activity scenario: sitting, slow, normal and brisk walking, climbing and descending stairs (eight floors), standing, slow running and taking public transportation (tramway). The duration of each activity varied from 2 to 20 minutes.
The spontaneous activities of 30 volunteers were recorded in the free-living conditions for a full day selected either during the week or the weekend.
