| BMI, kg/m2 | 23.6 ± 5.8 | 19.8–27.7 |
| Body fat, % | 15.3 ± 5.9 | 8.3–25.7 |
| V̇o2max, ml/kg/min | 50.4 ± 5.9 | 39.9–55.2 |
| Postabsorptive RQ | 0.84 ± 0.06 | 0.76–0.92 |
| Sleeping EE, (kcal/day, day 1) | 1694 ± 116 | 1478–1858 |
| Sleeping npRQ (day 1) | 0.864 ± 0.026 | 0.81–0.92 |
| Activity EE (by Tri-Trac, kcal/day) | 2490 ± 369 | 2053–3128 |
| EE/RMR ratio | 1.48 ± 0.22 | 1.2–1.8 |
Data are presented as mean ± SD; n = 6. EE/RMR ratio is calculated by dividing the activity energy expenditure (EE) by Tri-Trac (kcal/day) by the resting metabolic rate (RMR). This value provides an index of free-living activity corrected for body size (RMR). npRQ, nonprotein respiratory quotient.
