Research Abstract	The purpose of this study was to examine the synergistic effects of food intake and exercise on non-exercising muscle oxygen consumption. There was significant increase in non-exercising muscle oxygen consumption after exercise with food intake. In contrast, exercise without food intake did not show any increases. The results indicate that the combination of food intake and exercise is important to sustain the muscle energy expenditure in non-exercising muscle.
