Table 1.
Baseline measures of study participants enrolled in an exercise intervention expending 1,500 or 3,000 kcal/wk
| 1,500 kcal (n = 18) | 3,000 kcal (n = 18) | |
|---|---|---|
| %Female | 72.2 | 66.7 |
| Age, yr | 26.6 ± 5.5 | 29.4 ± 5.4 |
| Weight, kg | 87.3 ± 16.2 | 85.5 ± 15.3 |
| Height, cm | 168.2 ± 9.2 | 169.3 ± 10.6 |
| BMI, kg/m2 | 30.7 ± 4.3 | 29.6 ± 3.0 |
| RMR, kcal/24 h | 1,984 ± 481 | 1,876 ± 321 |
| TEE, kcal/day | 2,574 ± 511 | 2,615 ± 596 |
| Food reinforcement | 33.6 ± 33.4 | 29.6 ± 30.8 |
| PWC, ml O2·kg–1·min–1 | ||
| 150 beats/min | 21.9 ± 6.1 | 21.6 ± 6.3 |
| 170 beats/min | 26.0 ± 7.1 | 25.8 ± 7.4 |
Values are means ± SD for all subjects who were randomized to a study group. An exercise intervention consisted of 5 sessions/wk for 12 wk. BMI, body mass index; RMR, 24-h resting metabolic rate energy expenditure; TEE, estimated total 24-h energy expenditure; food reinforcement, Pmax (the last schedule of reinforcement completed for the most-liked food); PWC, performance work capacity (rate of O2 consumption) at heart rate of 150 and 170 beats/min.
