The singular and combined effects of exercise and meal ingestion on caloric expenditure

Includes bibliographical references (pages 25-26)The influence of exercise on the thermic effect of food has been examined in untrained (V̇O₂max [40% ml·kg·min⁻¹]), nonobese (body fat 0.01). Exercise caused a consistent enhancement of metabolic rate in both ENF and EF conditions. During recovery there were no significant changes in metabolic data caused by exercise alone (ENF). The thermic effect of food (TEF) averaged a 15-26% increase in V̇O₂ consumption (.294 ± .049) and kcal expenditure (1.47 ± .24) during recovery. There was a significant but similar elevation of mean V̇O₂ uptake during recovery by 14.96% in the NEF (.29 ± .049) and 13.70% in the EF (.292 ± .048) protocols (p̲
