Multifactorial Influences on Oxygen Consumption Recovery Post-High-Intensity Exercise in Adults: A Case-Control Study.

: Oxygen consumption (VO) recovery plays a critical role in reestablishing homeostasis within multiple physiological processes. This study aimed to assess the differences in the fitness profiles, fatigability, patterns of VO recovery, and sleep quality among individuals with different body fat percentages. Thus, we evaluated the predictive effects of body fat percentage, CRF, fatigability, and sleep quality on VO recovery patterns following exercise.
