Summary The influence of exercise-training on dietary-induced thermogenesis (DIT) was investigated in humans. The resting metabolic rate was identical in trained and non-trained subjects, but the response to a meal containing 1,636 kcal (6.9 MJ) was markedly lower in trained subjects. Mean dorsal skin temperature, as measured by thermography, was not influenced by training. A significant correlation was observed between postprandial RQ and DIT, which indicates that the reduced energy expenditure noted in trained subjects is related to a greater lipid oxidation. This sparing effect of exercise-training on energy utilization in the form of carbohydrate, is interpreted as adaptive in the sense that energy is preserved for the purpose of producing work.
