Abstract

This study aimed to compare oxygen uptake ( V˙O₂), hormone and plasma metabolite responses during the 30 min after submaximal incremental exercise (Incr) performed at the same relative/absolute exercise intensity and duration in lean (L) and obese (O) men. Eight L and 8 O men (BMI: 22.9±0.4; 37.2±1.8 kg · m⁻²) completed Incr and were then seated for 30 min. V˙O₂ was monitored during the first 10 min and from the 25–30^th minutes of recovery. Blood samples were drawn for the determination of hormone (catecholamines, insulin) and plasma metabolite (NEFA, glycerol) concentrations. Excess post-exercise oxygen consumption (EPOC) magnitude during the first 10 min was similar in O and in L (3.5±0.4; 3.4±0.3 liters, respectively, p=0.86). When normalized to percent change ( V˙O_2END=100%), % V˙O_2END during recovery was significantly higher from 90–120 s in O than in L (p≤0.04). There were no significant differences in catecholamines (p≥0.24), whereas insulin was significantly higher in O than in L during recovery (p=0.01). The time-course of glycerol was similar from 10–30 min of recovery (−42% for L; –41% for O, p=0.85), whereas significantly different patterns of NEFA were found from 10–30 min of recovery between groups (−18% for L; +8% for O, p=0.03). Despite similar EPOC, a difference in V˙O₂ modulation between groups was observed, likely due to faster initial rates of V˙O₂ decline in L than in O. The different patterns of NEFA between groups may suggest a lower NEFA reesterification during recovery in O, which was not involved in the rapid EPOC component.
