Effect of Continuous and Intermittent Exercise on Energy Expenditure and on the Cardiorespiratory Response

Bareket Falk

Abstract

Continuous exercise and intermittent exercise protocols, which are equated for the total work performed, result in similar energy expenditure and thus, in a similar oxygen consumption. Intermittent exercise-relaxation may enhance enjoyment and thereby increase compliance. However, the composite cardiorespiratory response to the two types of exercise programs is different, and this results in different cardiorespiratory adaptations.
