The effects of the menstrual cycle on excess postexercise oxygen consumption (EPOC) were studied in seven healthy young women aged 18 to 20 years. EPOC, resting metabolic rate (RMR), and energy expenditure during exercise (EEDE) in the fasting state were measured in the follicular and luteal phases. On the experimental days, subjects exercised for 60 minutes on a bicycle ergometer at an intensity of 60% maximal oxygen consumption (VO2max) followed by rest for 6 hours. The EPOC and RMR were significantly higher (P < .05) and the postexercise respiratory exchange ratio (RER) was significantly lower (P < .05) in the luteal phase versus the follicular phase, whereas differences in the EEDE and basal and exercise RER were negligible in both phases. Fat oxidation during the experimental period was significantly greater in the luteal phase (P < .05). These results suggest that exercise in the luteal phase results in greater postexercise energy expenditure and fat utilization than in the follicular phase.
对7名年龄在18至20岁的健康年轻女性进行了月经周期对运动后过量氧耗（EPOC）影响的研究。在卵泡期和黄体期测量了空腹状态下的EPOC、静息代谢率（RMR）和运动期间的能量消耗（EEDE）。在实验日，受试者在自行车测力计上以最大耗氧量（VO2max）的60%强度运动60分钟，随后休息6小时。与卵泡期相比，黄体期的EPOC和RMR显著更高（P < 0.05），运动后呼吸交换率（RER）显著更低（P < 0.05），而两个阶段的EEDE以及基础和运动RER的差异可忽略不计。黄体期实验期间的脂肪氧化显著更高（P < 0.05）。这些结果表明，与卵泡期相比，黄体期运动导致运动后能量消耗和脂肪利用增加。
