Figure 1. Fat oxidation rate, expressed in absolute (g.min-1, left panel) and relative units (mg.kg-1.min-1 fat free mass, FFM, right panel), at each exercise intensity (%VO2max). Values are meanąSE. Mean data are fitted using a quadratic polynomial (r2>0.98 for all four curves). † main effect for sex, p < 0.01; * p < 0.01 from corresponding value for women; # p < 0.01 from fat oxidation value at the lowest exercise intensity for each sex.
