But they were breached again when Leicester went the width of the field, left to right, and Thompstone slipped a neat scoring pass to Niki Goneva, helped by Bath's Tom Biggs rushing to defend the wrong man.
A capacity crowd cheered them to the echo, even when they relinquished an early lead to the only try of the match: Craig Burden, the Toulon hooker, made the breakthrough, Ali Williams supplied a neat scoring flip into the hands of Florian Fresia, the prop who is one of the young, home-grown players of whom Laporte has such high hopes.
At the same time, we evaluated their NEAT score using our original questionnaire modified from a compendium of physical activities.
However, our study had the limitation that the NEAT score calculated with the self-reported questionnaire is subjective data and may not always represent the true NEAT.
Our previous study showed that the NEAT score was significantly and inversely associated with serum insulin levels, suggesting a beneficial association of NEAT with insulin sensitivity in all participants [ 7] (Table 3).
Both the locomotive NEAT score and the non-locomotive NEAT score were significantly correlated with the whole NEAT scores (r = 0.612, P < 0.001 and r = 0.946, P < 0.001, respectively; Figure 3).
However, the whole NEAT score and non-locomotive NEAT score were significantly higher in women (66.9 ± 12.7 and 48.3 ± 9.2) compared with those in men (59.0 ± 8.6 and 38.6 ± 7.4; P = 0.026 and P < 0.001, respectively).
The NEAT score was significantly and positively correlated with PAL measured by the triaxial accelerometer (r = 0.604, P < 0.001).
Pearson's correlation coefficient was calculated in order to analyze the association of the NEAT score with PAL.
PAL was also significantly and positively correlated with both the locomotive NEAT score and the non-locomotive NEAT score (r = 0.444, P = 0.001 and r = 0.526, P < 0.001, respectively; Figure 2).
