Effect of Daily Steps on Fat Metabolism

Effect of Daily Ambulatory Activity on the Responses to Acute Aerobic Exercise.

Reduced ambulatory activity has been shown to effect the response to a high fat tolerance test (HFTT) after acute exercise. This study will evaluate the effect of varying levels of daily ambulation on response to a HFTT after an acute aerobic exercise bout.

Exclusion Criteria:

• Cardiovascular problems (e.g. pre-existing heart issues, coronary artery disease, hypertension, etc.)
• Respiratory problems
• Musculoskeletal problems that prevent prolonged sitting or exercise
• Obesity
• Susceptibility to fainting
• Pregnancy
