AB  - OBJECTIVE: The aim of the present study is to examine the differences in fat and 
      carbohydrate (CHO) oxidation during walking and running between normal-weight and 
      overweight/obese young adult men. METHODS: 19 healthy, normal-weight (age = 21.9 
      +/- 0.7 years, BMI = 22.6 +/- 0.4 kg, n = 10) and overweight (age = 21.4 +/- 0.6 years, 
      BMI = 31.6 +/- 1.1, n = 9) young men volunteered to participate in this study. Body 
      composition was assessed by bioelectrical impedance. Maximal oxygen uptake and 
      maximal fat oxidation rate were determined with indirect calorimetry by using an 
      incremental exercise test on a motor-driven treadmill. The participants' 
      individual preferred transition speeds between walking and running were 
      determined. Indirect calorimetry was used to calculate fat and CHO oxidation 
      during the resting, walking and running tests. RESULTS: Maximal fat oxidation 
      rates during the graded exercise test were not significantly different between 
      the groups. Changes in CHO and fat oxidation in the resting, walking and running 
      tests were similar in the normal-weight and overweight groups. CONCLUSION: The 
      study results suggest that with regard to changes in CHO and fat oxidation, 
      normal-weight and overweight/obese individuals have similar responses to walking 
      and running at preferred speeds, despite significant differences in oxygen uptake 
      during activity and body composition.
