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

Table 1

Participant characteristics at baseline.

Characteristics	Moderate-intensity (𝑛=18)	Vigorous-intensity (𝑛=18)
Age (yrs)	58.7±5.9	58.1±5.4
Non-White (n, %)	6,33.3%	4,22.2%
Body weight (kg)	88.9±8.5	91.1±12.9
Body mass index (kg⋅m^-2)	33.3±3.1	33.3±3.8
PAEE at baseline (kcal⋅d^-1)	520.8±206.5	543.2±164.0
PAEE on days with exercise in last month (kcal⋅d^-1)	577.7±219.7	450.6±153.6^∗
PAEE on days without exercise in last month (kcal⋅d^-1)	450.7±140.5^†	519.2±127.4^‡

PAEE: physical activity energy expenditure.
^∗𝑃 =  .052 versus moderate-intensity group; ^†𝑃 =  .011 versus PAEE on days with exercise in last month; ^‡𝑃 =  .047 versus PAEE on days with exercise in last month.
