Abstract

OBJECTIVES: To characterize regional body composition and insulin sensitivity differences between young adults who were normal weight with either high or low fitness determined by VO

DESIGN: A cross-sectional comparison of normal weight males and females with high or low fitness matched on age and sex.

METHODS: A total of 38 (20M/18F) individuals were recruited for this study. Thirty-two young adults (18M/14F) were matched on age (mean 22.5 ± 3 yrs.) and BMI (22.4 ± 2.4 kg/m

RESULTS: Higher fitness was associated with significantly lower percent body fat, lower android fat mass and higher insulin sensitivity in males (-7.2%,

CONCLUSION: Higher fitness does not influence VAT in normal weight individuals. Sex influenced regional fat and insulin sensitivity differences between high fitness and low fitness groups.
