Abstract
The purpose of this study was to investigate the effect of exercise intensity on the body composition of adult males. Fifteen volunteers were assigned to either a control, low intensity exercise (540 kpm/min) or high intensity exercise (900 kpm/min) group. The exercise groups rode bicycle ergometers 45 min/ day, 5 days/week for 12 weeks. All subjects were asked to continue their normal dietary intake pattern throughout the study. The analysis of covariance indicated that both treatment groups lost a significant amount of fat with no significant change in LBM. The amount of fat lost by the two exercising groupsdid not differ, indicating that the fat loss was independent of the exercise intensity. This discrepancy appeared to be due to an increase in the daily caloric intake of the high intensity group. Verf.-Referat
