Can Metabolic Thresholds be used as Exercise Intensity Markers in Adult men with Obesity?

Abstract

Markers in Adult men with Obesity?3 1 test were used to evaluate differences between VO 2 at AeT and at FAT max and VO 2 at AnT and at 3 2 FAT min , respectively. FAT max and AeT occurred at 42.80 ± 2.68 % of VO 2max and 43.02 ± 2.73 % 3 3 of VO 2max , while FAT min and AnT occurred at 53.40 ± 3.65 % of VO 2max and 53.38 ± 3.65 % of 3 4 VO 2max , respectively. A high correlations were found between VO 2 at FAT max and at AeT (r = 3 5 0.86, p < 0.01) and VO 2 at FAT min and at AnT (r = 0.99, p < 0.01). The existing correlations 3 6suggest that metabolic thresholds may be used as exercise intensity markers in men with obesity. 3 7 3 8
