title: Effect of continuous and intermittent exercise on energy expenditure and on the cardiorespiratory response.
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.
