Differences in oxygen uptake but equivalent energy expenditure between a brief bout of cycling and running.

Background: We examined aerobic and anaerobic exercise energy expenditure and excess post-exercise oxygen consumption (EPOC) between a 250 Watt, 1-minute bout of cycling and uphill treadmill running.

Methods: Fourteen active to well-trained subjects volunteered for the investigation (VO2 max: 57.0 +/- 12.
