Are We Significantly Underestimating the Quantification of Anaerobic Performance in Overweight and Obese Subjects?

ABSTRACT

The purpose of this report was to consider the maximal exercise performance of overweight and obese subjects during cycle ergometry when resistive forces reflected total-body mass (TBM) or fat-free mass (FFM). Greater power outputs were obtained using FFM. The findings relate to the pathology of disease, clinical examination and exercise.
