1 Abstract Background: Energy expenditure in pregnancy of Czech women is a lowly explored part of energy metabolism. Objective: The purpose of this study was to estimate total energy expenditure and basal metabolic rate in pregnant women in the Czech Republic and to compare our values with values presented in foreign literature. Design: Energy expenditure was estimated in 248 women from the Czech Republic. The method was based on filling the questionnaires where women described all of their activities of a certain day. Women also gave details of an exact time of duration for each activity. For mathematical assessments there were used two computer programmes: a specially designed program Energetic expenditure 2 and a statistic program GraphPad Prism 4. As the values of basal metabolic rate were considerated values obtained by multiplication of pre-pregnancy basal metabolic rate calculated according to Schoefield equations and multiplication factors for certain trimester of pregnancy (1,04, 1,07 a 1,19 for the first, second and third trimester, respectively). The same multiplication factors were used for estimation of total energy expenditure. In the study there are described also other energy characteristics - activity energy expenditure (AEE), physical activity level (PAL). Results: In our study there were...
