To compare the effect of exercise intensity on postprandial lipemic responses after a high fat meal. Maximal oxygen consumption (VO2) was measured in 13 participants (9 male, 4 female). There were no differences between males and females among age (males: 24±2 years; females 23±2 years), height (1.74±0.04 meters vs. 1.69±0.09 meters, respectively), or VO2max (41.42±3.87 mL/kg/min vs. 36.97±1.39 mL/kg/min, respectively.) Males weighed heavier than females (78.9±11.2 kg vs. 65.3±2.1 kg, p= 0.04). In a randomized crossover design, participants returned on two separate occasions where they arrived fasting and consumed a high-fat milkshake made from premium chocolate ice cream and heavy whipping cream, delivering 1.3 g/kg bodyweight of fat. Participants performed either low intensity exercise (LE) on a treadmill at a self-selected pace to elicit a heart rate (HR) of 40-60% of …
