Primary Outcome Measures

Name	Time	Method
<p>The primary endpoints of the current study are total daily energy expenditure<br /><br>determined by the DLW method, ~1, 7, 16, 22 and 30 weeks post-surgery, along<br /><br>with measurements of the resting metabolic rate by ventilated hood (Q-NRG,<br /><br>Cosmed). When the total daily energy expenditure and resting metabolic rate are<br /><br>known, the energy expenditure from physical activity can be calculated.<br /><br>Therefore, this study will provide reference values for energy requirements<br /><br>during different phases of the rehabilitation process. </p><br>

Secondary Outcome Measures

Name	Time	Method
<p>The secondary endpoints of the current study are physical activity-, resting-,<br /><br>and sleeping patterns as determined by wearable non-obtrusive physical activity<br /><br>monitors (ActiGraph GT9X). The physical activity monitors measure the daily<br /><br>duration of sedentary behaviour, light physical activity, moderate physical<br /><br>activity, and strenuous physical activity, respectively. Also the timing of<br /><br>physical activity and rest will be determined. Physical activity on the field<br /><br>is monitored by local position monitoring (LPM) system, which is part of the<br /><br>standard KNVB rehabilitation protocol and will be conducted by the KNVB<br /><br>Football Medical Centre. Another secondary endpoint of the current study is<br /><br>body composition by anthropometry (by ISAK standards), which is part of the<br /><br>standard KNVB ACL rehabilitation protocol.</p><br>
