Total Energy Expenditure/Basal Metabolic Rate

Eng

1) Total Energy Expenditure

2) Basal Metabolic Rate3) 24-Hour Activity Graph

1) Total Energy Expenditure (TEE)

Shows the accumulated total of burned calories for the day from midnight until the present

time. (The maximum display for 1 day is 99999 calories. The display stops changing if this

value is exceeded.)

2) Basal Metabolic Rate (BMR)

The minimum number of calories your body burns for vital bodily functions such as respiration

and heart rate when at rest. This value is calculated based on the personal information you

set. This value will not change unless you change the settings.

3) 24-Hour Activity Graph

Shows the amount of activity for the day from midnight until the present time as a graph. The

amount of activity is shown in hour blocks for every hour on a scale of 7. Each scale is based

on the Basal Metabolic Rate for one hour, and shows the amount of activity as a multiple of

this base value.

7th scale mark ..... More than 3.5 times the resting energy expenditure

6th scale mark ..... More than 3.0 times, less than 3.5 times the resting energy expenditure

5th scale mark ..... More than 2.5 times, less than 3.0 times the resting energy expenditure

4th scale mark ..... More than 2.0 times, less than 2.5 times the resting energy expenditure

3rd scale mark ..... More than 1.5 times, less than 2.0 times the resting energy expenditure

2nd scale mark .... More than 1.1 times, less than 1.5 times theresting energy expenditure

1st scale mark ..... Less than 1.1 times the resting energy expenditure (almost entirely resting)

Activity-related Energy Expenditure/METs

1) Activity-related Energy Expenditure

2) METs3) 24-Hour Activity Graph

1) Activity-related Energy Expenditure (AEE)

Shows the total number of calories burned through the physical activity for the day between

midnight and the current time. Physical activity means all activities that burn more calories

that when seated (when resting).

2) METs

This unit is used to show the intensity of physical activity. 1 MET is taken as the intensity of

physical activity in the seated, relaxed state; other activities are measured as a multiple of this

value. Regular walking is measured as approximately 3 METS. This means that walking is

approximately 3 times more intense than sitting down.

* This value is calculated from the intensity of physical activity for the previous 1 minute.

3) 24-Hour Activity Graph

Shows the amount of activity for the day from midnight until the present time as a graph. (See

P. 23 for details)

Number of Steps/Time

Eng

1) Number of Steps

2) Time3) 24-Hour Activity Graph

1) Number of Steps

Shows the number of steps walked. (The maximum display for 1 day is 99999 steps. The

display stops changing if this value is exceeded.)

2) Time

Shows the present time. (24-hour clock display)

3) 24-Hour Activity Graph

Shows the number of steps for the day from midnight until the present time as a graph. (See

P. 23 for details)

Walking Distance/Walking Time

1) Walking Distance

2) Walking Time3) 24-Hour Activity Graph

1) Walking Distance

Shows the walking distance, which is calculated by multiplying the number of steps taken by

your stride length. (The maximum display for 1 day is 149.99 km. The display stops changing

if this value is exceeded.)

2) Walking Time

The walking time of each step taken is measured, and the walking time is calculated and

shown.

3) 24-Hour Activity Graph

Shows the amount of activity for the day from midnight until the present time as a graph. (See

P. 23 for details)
