METs and HRs over the 50 min data collection period during five sessions. METs increased significantly during pedaling periods when compared to the resting periods in each session. Data are expressed as mean ± SD.
TS: total sedentary; LFLR: low frequency/low resistance; LFHR: low frequency/high resistance; HFLR: high frequency/low resistance; HFHR: high frequency/high resistance.

Top: Mean energy expenditure (EE) during each period among all participants in all five sessions (mean ± SD). Bottom: Mean energy expenditure during the entire 50 min sessions; Bars with different letters are significantly different from each other at p < 0.05 or 0.01 (mean ± SD).
TS: total sedentary; LFLR: low frequency/low resistance; LFHR: low frequency/high resistance; HFLR: high frequency/low resistance; HFHR: high frequency/high resistance.
Figure 5
Mean METs, EE and HR over the 50 min data collection periods according to sex. Asterisk indicates significant difference between males and females at p < 0.05 or 0.01.
TS: total sedentary; LFLR: low frequency/low resistance; LFHR: low frequency/high resistance; HFLR: high frequency/low resistance; HFHR: high frequency/high resistance.
Figure 6
Comparison of METs, HR and EE between lean/healthy weight and overweight/obese groups among all the five sessions. Asterisk indicates significant difference between lean/healthy and overweight/obese at p < 0.05 or 0.01.
TS: total sedentary; LFLR: low frequency/low resistance; LFHR: low frequency/high resistance; HFLR: high frequency/low resistance; HFHR: high frequency/high resistance.
