Sammenligning av fettoksideringen og energiforbruket under intervalltrening og kontinuerlig trening blant godt trente menn
Masteroppgave i idrettsvitenskap -Universitetet i Agder 2011 Background: This study was conducted on the basis of the limited literature on fat metabolism among well-trained men during high-intensive training. Purpose: We have: 1) quantified the total energy expenditure and the substrate oxidation among well-trained men, during a high-intensity interval session and a continuous session matched for average workload, 2) compared the relative fat oxidation during a high-intensity interval session and a continuous session to the maximal fat oxidation rate identified by the Fatmax protocol of Achten, Gleeson and Jeukendrup and 3) compared the energy expenditure after a highintensity interval ses…
