Energy balance
There is no relationship between VO2max and 24-h energy expenditure under sedentary conditions.
This indicates that simply having a higher fitness level may not increase daily energy expenditure in sedentary individuals.
StrongRefutesmedium confidence
the lack of a relationship between VO2max and 24-h EE under the sedentary conditions of this study suggests that the major effects of physical activity on total daily EE and fat oxidation may occur during and relatively quickly after an exercise bout.
