It is reported in energy units per unit time ranging from watt to ml O₂/min or joule per hour per kg body mass J/. Proper measurement requires a strict set of criteria be met. 3)What is specific Dynamic Action of food? Specific dynamic action (SDA), also known as thermic effect of food (TEF) or dietary induced thermogenesis (DIT), is the amount of energy expenditure above the basal metabolic rate due to the cost of processing food for use and storage.[1] Heat production by brown adipose tissue which is activated after consumption of a meal is an additional component of dietary induced...
