Thermogenic effects of pre-prandial and post-prandial exercise in obese females

The thermogenic effects of pre- and postprandial exercise was examined in six obese premenopausal females. Using open circuit calorimetry, energy expenditure was measured for 3 hours following five separate treatments: Resting Control, Exercise Only (25 min cycle at 60% VO 2 max), Meal Only (902 kca...

Description
Summary:The thermogenic effects of pre- and postprandial exercise was examined in six obese premenopausal females. Using open circuit calorimetry, energy expenditure was measured for 3 hours following five separate treatments: Resting Control, Exercise Only (25 min cycle at 60% VO 2 max), Meal Only (902 kcal mixed meal), Exercise-Meal, and Meal-Exercise. Meal Only, Exercise-Meal, and Meal-Exercise were significantly higher than Rest Only and Exercise Only treatments. However, Meal-Exercise resulted in the greatest energy expenditure. These results suggest that in obese female subjects exercise following a meal will produce the greatest thermogenic response and could possibly influence weight maintenance or weight loss if implemented in food and exercise patterns of behavior.
