Mechanical Efficiency at Different Exercise Intensities Among Adolescent Boys With Different Body Fat Levels by Georges Jabbour (754884)

“…These findings suggest that excess in body weight exerts a negative effect on ME at a low intensity by increasing energy consumption for obese and overweight adolescent boys, while at higher intensities (75%HRmax and VO_2peak) the lower ME could be better explained by the lower power output and catecholamine responses that were attenuated among obese and overweight adolescent boys.…”
