Abstract: Aim: This study assessed the effect of Ramadan fasting on peak physiological markers of exercise intensity. Methods: Ten physical education students (22.3 ± 1.5 y, 176.0 ± 4.9 cm, 83.8 ± 17.0 kg) volunteered for the study. Each participant completed four graded exercise tests; two on the treadmill and two on the bike. Two graded exercise tests were conducted in Ramadan and two after Ramadan.
