Abstract Details

2011, Master of Science in Exercise and Health Studies, Miami University, Exercise and Health Studies.
The purpose of this thesis is to determine whether body fat affects the maximal rate of fat oxidation in young women during a graded exercise test. Fourteen female subjects with body composition ranging from 18.6 to 30% fat underwent testing. On day 1 the subjects performed a VO2max treadmill test. On day 2 subjects were measured for % fat and performed a maximal fat oxidation test. The rates of fat and carbohydrate oxidation were determined using gas exchange analysis. The results here were no significant differences (p>0.05) in maximal fat oxidation rates between the women in lower-fat and higher-fat groups. Fat oxidation occurred at an exercise intensity of 55.7 ± 11.1% and 59.1 ± 5.4% VO2max for the lower-fat and higher-fat groups, respectively, with no significant difference between groups (p>0.05). In conclusion, fat mass does not significantly influence the maximal fat oxidation rates during a graded exercise test in young healthy normal and overweight women.
