Relationship between Fat Oxidation and Lactate Threshold in Athletes and Obese Women and Men

Table 2. Physiological measures from the VO2peak test. Data are means (± SD).

Variables	Women		Men
	Athletes (n = 10)	Obese (n = 10)	Athletes (n = 10)	Obese (n = 10)
VO_2peak (ml·kg^-1 ·min^-1)	53.14 (5.21)*	25.94 (3.80)	61.29 (4.82)*	32.88 (5.42)
VO_2peak (ml·kg^-1 ·LBM^-1·min^-1)	64.30 (6.10)*	53.57 (9.48)	71.44 (5.53)*	50.36 (9.64)
W_max (Watt)	253 (30)*	178 (29)	355 (35)*	246 (40)
HR_max (b·m^-1)	175 (7)	174 (11)	170 (7)	170 (15)
Lactate_max (mmol·L^-1)	8.27 (1.61)	7.85 (1.63)	9.48 (2.36)*	7.27 (2.05)

* Significant difference between endurance trained and sedentary obese women and between endurance trained and sedentary obese men (p < 0.05).
