Abstract
To investigate the effect of watching different types of video on energy expenditure. Randomised study assessing a "pleasant," an "amusing," an "exciting," and no video film clips. 12 volunteers who did not know the purpose of the study. Changes in energy expenditure, substrate use, heart rate, and aural temperature during each film clip. Energy expenditure was raised slightly (0.21 kJ/day) during the "exciting" film. Individual responses varied greatly. Watching different types of video seems to have little effect on resting metabolic rate.
