“…For triglycerides participants with triglycerides [ 10 mmol/l (n = 13) are also excluded c The P-value is for test for equality d This does not include commuting physical activity Commuting physical activity is favourably associated with biological risk factors 775 study by Barengo et al [12], however, they differ from their findings on the association between commuting physical activity and systolic BP as they also observe a negative relationship for men. Another study [31] showed no associations between commuting physical activity and diastolic and systolic BP. The finding that commuting physical activity was negatively associated with BMI corresponds with results from a study by Hu et al [11] and a study by Barengo et al [12], but another study showed that use of bicycle for transportation was negatively correlated with BMI only among men [31].…”

“…There are some reports that fitness levels evaluated by VO2max (53,54), treadmill exhaustion time (53,55), maximal or total work load performed (56,57) and onset of blood lactate accumulation (58) are one of the predictors of blood levels of glucose and lipid parameters. We speculate that the decline in the fitness level may be a result of a decrease in muscle volume and/or an accumulation of visceral fat due to a low physical activity level, and that these conditions may lead to abnormalities in lipid and glucose metabolism.…”

We investigated the relationships of plasma sex hormones (free testosterone ; free T, estradiol ; E2, dehydroepiandrosterone-sulfate ; DHEA-S) and sex hormone-binding globulin (SHBG) levels to lipid and glucose metabolism cross-sectionally in 212 apparently healthy men aged from 18 to 59 years. A multiple linear regression analysis for lipid and glucose parameters with age, body mass index (BMI), percent body fat (%fat), waist to hip ratio (WHR), estimated maximal oxygen uptake (VO2max), alcohol and cigarette consumption, sex hormones, and SHBG, respectively, as independent variables, was performed. DHEA-S was indicated as one of the independent predictors of both high density lipoprotein cholesterol (HDL-C), with a positive relation, and of triglyceride and total cholesterol/HDL-C ratio, with a negative relation, while SHBG was one of the predictors of both HDL-C, with a positive relation, and of fasting insulin, with a negative relation. The E2 level was found to be negatively related to both low density lipoprotein cholesterol and fasting blood glucose. These findings thus suggest that the higher levels of SHBG, DHEA-S and E2 within physiological ranges in healthy men may partially help to maintain a desirable profile of the plasma lipid and glucose metabolism.

“…The exact manner in which changes in levels of physical activity influence feeding behaviour over periods long enough to affect energy balance (EB) is not clearly understood. There is a large body of literature on the effect of training programmes on body weight and composition in athletes (Van Etten et al, 1997;Westerterp 1998;Van Baak, 1999;Bovens et al, 1993). Several of these studies measure EI (McGowan et al, 1986, Barr & Costill, 1992.…”

Objective: To assess the effect of graded increases in exercised-induced energy expenditure (EE) on appetite, energy intake (EI), total daily EE and body weight in men living in their normal environment and consuming their usual diets. Design: Within-subject, repeated measures design. Six men (mean (s.d.) age 31.0 (5.0) y; weight 75.1 (15.96) kg; height 1.79 (0.10) m; body mass index (BMI) 23.3(2.4) kg=m 2 ), were each studied three times during a 9 day protocol, corresponding to prescriptions of no exercise, (control) (Nex; 0 MJ=day), medium exercise level (Mex; $ 1.6 MJ=day) and high exercise level (Hex; $ 3.2 MJ=day). On days 1 -2 subjects were given a medium fat (MF) maintenance diet (1.6 Â resting metabolic rate (RMR)). Measurements: On days 3 -9 subjects self-recorded dietary intake using a food diary and self-weighed intake. EE was assessed by continual heart rate monitoring, using the modified FLEX method. Subjects' HR (heart rate) was individually calibrated against submaximal VO 2 during incremental exercise tests at the beginning and end of each 9 day study period. Respiratory exchange was measured by indirect calorimetry. Subjects completed hourly hunger ratings during waking hours to record subjective sensations of hunger and appetite. Body weight was measured daily. Results: EE amounted to 11.7, 12.9 and 16.8 MJ=day (F(2,10) ¼ 48.26; P < 0.001 (s.e.d ¼ 0.55)) on the Nex, Mex and Hex treatments, respectively. The corresponding values for EI were 11.6, 11.8 and 11.8 MJ=day (F(2,10) ¼ 0.10; P ¼ 0.910 (s.e.d. ¼ 0.10)), respectively. There were no treatment effects on hunger, appetite or body weight, but there was evidence of weight loss on the Hex treatment. Conclusion: Increasing EE did not lead to compensation of EI over 7 days. However, total daily EE tended to decrease over time on the two exercise treatments. Lean men appear able to tolerate a considerable negative energy balance, induced by exercise, over 7 days without invoking compensatory increases in EI.
