Lipid oxidation and perceived exertion level during exercise in obese: effect of the exercise form

Abstract

Regular exercise is one of the most used solutions to avoid obesity. In this study we compared the amounts of lipid oxidation and the level of perceived exertion in three physical exercises, one continuous and two intermittent in obese. Ten obese men (age 26.01 ± 6.0 years, weight: 104.2 ± 19.4 kg, BMI: 33.5 ± 3.6 kg / m 2 ) performed three 45 minutes exercises during which we measured energy expenditure and the level of perceived exertion.
