Abstract

This research aimed to compare the effects of high-intensity interval exercise followed by moderate-intensity exercise (HIIE+MIE), high-intensity interval exercise (HIIE), and moderate-intensity exercise in water (MIE) on fat oxidation rate (FAT) and carbohydrate oxidation rate (CHO) during and after exercise in obese men. Ten obese men participants (age: 20.1 ± 0.57 years, BMI: 28.31 ± 2.88) completed all three exercise protocols in a randomized order. The protocols consisted of: 1) HIIE 2) MIE 3) HIIE+MIE. Oxygen consumption and carbon dioxide production were measured during exercise and for 30 minutes of post-exercise. These measurements were used to calculate FAT and CHO. Pain perception levels were also recorded during and after exercise. Data were analyses using One-way ANOVA with repeated measures, and statistical significance set at p<0.05. The results showed significant differences (p<0.05) in FAT and CHO between HIIE+MIE and MIE protocols during both the 20- and 40-minute exercise periods and post-exercise. However, there were no significant differences between HIIE+MIE and HIIE protocols. Pain perception levels showed no significant changes before, immediately after, and 24 hours of post-exercise. In conclusion, HIIE+MIE constitutes an effective alternative for obese men, providing enhanced fat metabolism advantages without inducing muscular soreness.
