Acute Impact of Moderate-Intensity and Vigorous-Intensity Exercise Bouts on Daily Physical Activity Energy Expenditure in Postmenopausal Women

Figure 2

The difference between daily physical activity energy expenditure during days with and without center-based exercise (PAEE on days WITH exercise minus PAEE on days WITHOUT exercise) and energy expended during center-based exercise by group. In women performing moderate-intensity exercise (moderate-intensity), PAEE was higher on days with center-based exercise; however, the difference was much lower than the energy expended during exercise. In contrast, in women performing vigorous-intensity exercise (vigorous-intensity) group, PAEE was lower on days with center-based exercise, even with exercise energy expenditure included in PAEE.
