Tidskriftsartikel (refereegranskat)abstract
- In addition to factors such as fat free mass, hormonal status, genetics and energy balance, previous physical activity has been shown to influence energy turnover during resting (RMR = resting metabolic rate) or basal conditions(BMR = basal metabolic rate). This article presents data on BMR from elite endurance athletes (4 female and 4 male), at least 39 h after their last training session, in comparison with sedentary nonathletic controls matched for sex and fat free mass (FFM). Comparisons with theoretical calculations of BMR were also made. The athletes were shown to have a significantly higher BMR than was expected from calculations based on body mass (16%, P < 0.05) or body composition (12%, P < 0.05). There were no corresponding differences found in the nonathletic control group. The athletes had a 13% higher (P < 0.001) BMR than controls if related to FFM and 16% (P = 0.001) if related to both FFM and fat mass (FM). The athletes were also found to have 10% lower R-values (P < 0.01) indicating higher fat oxidation. The conformity of these findings with the present literature and the possible mechanisms behind them as well as its influence on theoretical calculations of energy turnover (ET) based on activity factors expressed as multiples of RMR are further discussed.

The effect of protein intake and physical exercise on energy turnover and substrate utilisation at energy balance in man
- 1998

Doktorsavhandling (övrigt vetenskapligt/konstnärligt)abstract
- The principal goal of the thesis has been to evaluate the effect of protein intake and physical exercise on energy turnover and substrate utilisation. Body composition assessment is of importance as an indicator of the energy balance. Therefore, in the first study the aim was to develop new models to estimate body composition more accurately. Multicompartment models were shown to improve body composition assessment as they take-into consideration individual differences in the body content of bone mineral and water. The validity of the results obtained by field-adapted methods, ie, skinfold-thickness measurement and BIA in combination, by using multicompartment instead of two-compartment equations was improved.The effect of moderate physical activity and a diet containing "high" (n=6) or "normal" (n=8) protein intake upon 24h macronutrient utilization, protein metabolism, plasma amino acid concentration and energy turnover was studied in healthy men. After a 6 day diet-exercise-adjustment period energy turnover (ET) was determined by indirect and direct (suit) calorimetry and protein turnover using [15N,15N]urea and [13C] leucine.The results showed that moderate exercise at energy balance did not affect the 24h leucine and protein balance (Paper II). They also showed that a high protein intake increased the urea production rate, the absolute rate of urea hydrolysis being unaffected (Paper III), generally decreased plasma amino acid concentration, except during feeding for branched-chain amino acids, methionine and tyrosine (Paper IV), resulted in a positive protein and carbohydrate balance and a negative fat balance compared with the normal protein intake (Paper V). These findings could be of importance for athletes interested in optimal performance, as well as of clinical significance for the dietary treatment of obesity.
