Investigation of Fat Oxidation During Moderate Versus Vigorous Intensity Exercise

Latvia12 participantsStarted 2018-06-18

Plain-language summary

Exercise is widely suggested as an important lifestyle change for weight loss, however, the optimal level of intensity moderate versus vigorous remains unclear. It is known that in athletes, during very high-intensity exercise, fat oxidation is decreased and energy is gained mainly from carbohydrate utilization. The aim of this study is to find an optimal workload based on fat oxidation rate during exercise in volunteers with a sedentary lifestyle.
