  1. Fat oxidation rates were calculated from measured oxygen uptake and carbon dioxide output using Frayn’s equations54. Maximal fat oxidation independent of exercise intensity was chosen. Values are given as means ± SEM, and n represents the number of subjects. *Statistically significant versus sedentary (p < 0.05, Mann-Whitney test). aMissing data from two participants. BMI, body mass index; VO2max, maximal oxygen uptake; WHR, waist-to-hip ratio. Complete set of donor characteristics have been reported in full previously18.
