Metabolic Thresholds and Fat Utilization Points Correlation

Summary

To examine existence of connection between fat utilization points, both maximal and minimal with individual metabolic thresholds in different subjects. As a consequence, this innovative approach could offer a supplementary method for both aerobic and anaerobic thresholds detection as well as useful and practical exercise intensity selection marker.

Metabolic thresholds and fat oxidation points relationship

Investigators aim to determine exercise intensity at which metabolic thresholds and fat oxidation points occur by using non-invasive breath-by-breath gas analysis during either graded treadmill or cycle ergometry test (2min stages and 1km/h or 50 W load increase) till exhaustion to determine maximal oxygen uptake (VO2max), with gases being collected at the mouth level. The strength of the relationship between AeT and at FATmax will be assessed using the Pearson product moment (r) correlation coefficient with same being done for AnT and FATmin correlation. A coefficient of determination (R2) will be used to detect the proportion of existing variance. A paired t-test will be used to asses' differences between measured variables. Bland-altman will be used to determine levels of agreement.
