Abstract
The purpose of this study was to determine whether metabolic cost is similar in overweight and normoweight children when workload during exercise on a cycle-ergometer is adjusted relative to an objectively determined second ventilatory threshold (VT2) or the maximal workload (Pmax). The tests were conducted every 2 years: first at the age of 10 years and the third test at around the age of 14 years. The levels of maximal oxygen consumption (VO<sub>2</sub>max), Pmax, and the VT2 were determined by means of graded tests on a cycle ergometer. The main test consisted of two 6-minute exercises of submaximal constant intensity (below and above VT2) performed on a cycle ergometer, with a 4-minute recovery between efforts. The workload during cycling was adjusted individually for each participant and adjusted to the values determined in the graded test: workload at VT2 and Pmax. Physiological response (absolute and relative to free-fat mass oxygen uptake, heart rate, pulmonary ventilation, tidal volume, and breathing frequency) is similar in overweight and normoweight boys when workload on a cycle ergometer is adjusted to VT2. The only significant intergroup difference was seen in relative to body mass oxygen intake.
