本研究目的以運動後過攝氧量（EPOC）的觀點，探討連續式與分散式運動在能量消耗的差異，並比較不同運動強度進行連續式與分散式運動之效果。招募12名無任何心血管及慢性疾病且自願參與實驗的健康男性大學生（20.36±1.39歲；174.86±4.00公分；73.13±9.31公斤）；分別以換氣閾值（ventilation threshold, VT）為中強度組，以及70%VT為低強度組，重複進行單次30分鐘的連續式運動與3次10分鐘的分散式運動。實驗結果以重複量數二因子變異數分析，考驗不同強度下，不同運動模式的能量消耗差異。結果發現無論是中強度或低強度組，連續式運動與分散式運動的總能量消耗並無顯著差異。但分別檢視運動期與恢復期的能量消耗，卻發現中強度連續式運動期能量消耗顯著多於分散式運動（262.74±43.24 Kcal；231.53±44.56 Kcal, p<.05），而低強度組運動期的能量消耗，兩種運動模式並無顯著差異；其次，連續式運動恢復期的能量消耗，無論是中強度組（15.43±7.46仟卡；30.46±8.52仟卡，p<.05）或低強度組（7.65±3.14仟卡；21.21±11.13仟卡，p<.05），皆顯著低於分散式運動。由研究結果顯示運動強度越高，分散式運動初期需要較長時間才能達到穩定狀態，因而累積較少的能量消耗。但透過分散式多次運動後恢復期能量消耗的累積，可補足運動期較少的能量消耗，使整體能量消耗的效果與連續式運動相同。據此，選擇分散式運動模式累積能量消耗的後續議題，仍需要對單次運動時間與分散次數進一步確認。

Investigate energy expenditure between a continuous 30 min bout of running compared with 3 consecutive 10 min bouts of running in different intensity. 12 subjects were recruited to complete a maximal exercise (GXT) and four submaximal treadmill trials include two exercise models and two intensity. On separate days (24h between trial) and in counterbalanced order, performed a continuous 30 mins bout of running at ventilation threshold (moderate intensity) and 70%VT(light intensity), respectively. And 3 separate 10 mins bouts of running at moderate and light intensity, respectively. Post-exercise VO2 was continuously monitored until baseline was re-established. Results showed that no differences in average energy expenditure were found between continuous and discontinuous exercise no matter when intensity at moderate or light. But less energy expenditure in discontinuous exercise period at moderate exercise. Anyway through offset by accumulate much energy expenditure in recovery period, discontinuous exercise were achieve the same energy expenditure with continuous exercise.
