Influence of Running and Walking on Hormonal Regulators of Appetite in Women

Table 2

Oxygen uptake, energy expenditure, and heart rate of 9 female runners and 10 female walkers during 60 min of exercise and 60 min of bed rest. VO2: volume of oxygen uptake; RER: respiratory exchange ration; RQ: respiratory quotient; HR: heart rate; RPE: rating of perceived exertion.
