The aim of this study was to
determine the effects of exercise at different intensities on 24-h
energy expenditure (EE) and substrate oxidation. Sixteen adults (8 men
and 8 women) were studied on three occasions [sedentary day (Con), a
low-intensity exercise day (LI; 400 kcal at 40% of maximal oxygen
consumption) and a high-intensity exercise day (HI; 400 kcal at 70% of
maximal oxygen consumption)] by using whole room indirect calorimetry.
Both 24-h EE and carbohydrate oxidation were significantly elevated on
the exercise days (Con < LI = HI), but 24-h fat oxidation
was not different across conditions. Muscle enzymatic profile was not consistently related to 24-h fat or carbohydrate oxidation. With further analysis, it was found that, compared with men, women sustained
slightly higher rates of 24-h fat oxidation (mg · kg FFM
1 · min
1) and had a muscle
enzymatic profile favoring fat oxidation. It is concluded that exercise
intensity has no effect on 24-h EE or nutrient oxidation. Additionally,
it appears that women may sustain slightly greater 24-h fat oxidation
rates during waking and active periods of the day.
