AbstractOn 46 healthy young men, of whom 18 took part in strenuous sport at least once a week, height, weight, total body fat (as % of body mass) and lean body mass (LBM) were determined. The subjects performed submaximal exercise on a bicycle ergometer and climbing on an upwardly inclined treadmill at work loads of 60, 110, and 140 watts. Oxygen consumption ( $$\dot V_{O_2 }$$ ), respiratory quotient (RQ), energy expenditure (ė), and heart rate (fH) were measured at rest and at each work load… Expand
