Purpose: The purpose of this study was to develop and cross-validate an equation based on ActiGraph accelerometer GT3X output to predict children and youth's energy expenditure (EE) of physical activity (PA). Method: Participants were 367 Chinese children and youth (179 boys and 188 girls, aged 9 to 17 years old) who wore 1 ActiGraph GT3X accelerometer on their right hip during the following tests/activities: resting metabolic rate (RMR), six 5-min treadmill walk/runs (tested at different speeds: 3km.h(-1), 4km.h(-1), 5km.h(-1), 6km.h(-1), 7km.h(-1), and 8km.h(-1)), 1 broadcast gymnastics, and 2 table-tennis exercises. Participants' oxygen consumption was measured using Cosmed K4b(2). The participants were randomly divided into a calibration group (n=331, 90%) and a cross-validation group (n=36, 10%). The calibration group's data were used to determine the relationship between EE and triaxial vector magnitude counts (VM) using the Pearson correlation and to derive the equation using a stepwise multiple regression. In the cross-validation group, differences between measured and predicted EE were evaluated using pairwise t tests. Results: VM activity counts had a moderately high correlation with EE (r=.758, p < .01). An EE prediction equation was developed: EE (kcal.min(-1))=0.00083 x VM + 0.073 x weight - 2.01 (R-2=.72, SEE=1.45 kcal.min(-1)). According to the cross-validation study results, this equation could predict the EE within the range of known accuracy (i.e., about 20% error). Conclusions: An equation based on ActiGraph accelerometer VM activity counts was derived to predict EE of PA in Chinese children and youth within the range of known accuracy.
