Abstract: Introduction: Exercise is an activity that support for prevention and habitation of the body from central obesity. But people who have sedentary behaviors, there is more often a more than normal activity people accumulation of fat in the body. Interesting to see what causes those who exercise regularly, but still have central obesity. Objective: To investigate the effect of intensity of exercise on cardiorespiratory, autonomic nervous system, metabolism and blood glucose responses in central obesity. Methodology: Trained group have regular exercise (n=9) and Sedentary group (n=9). Waist circumferences > 80 cm or waist / hip > 0.85 were included, both groups need to perform graded cycling exercise test to determine actual fat and carbohydrate oxidation. Fasting blood glucose, pulmonary function and autonomic nervous system were compared between groups. Results: The fasting blood glucose at resting had strong negative correlation between carbohydrate oxidation during exercise at moderate intensity (r= -0.823, p<0.006) in Trained group while no correlation between fat oxidations. Discussion: At moderated to high intensity that uses carbohydrate more than fat. These studies showed that high intensity uses carbohydrates. We found negative correlations between carbohydrate oxidation and fasting blood glucose in the Trained group. Previous studies show an association about glucose tolerance impairment and elevation in the postprandial insulin excursion. Conclusions: At moderate intensity, carbohydrate oxidation had negative correlation with fasting blood glucose in Trained group. We suggest the best in tensity to improve fat oxidation is low intensity and carbohydrate oxidation is high intensity and should be more exercise pattern.
