This thesis provides an overview of the effect that single bouts of exercise can exert on postprandial lipaemia. The conclusions from the experimental chapters within this thesis are that: prior moderate exercise reduces the lipaemia associated with moderate and high fat meals to a very similar extent in percentage terms; a single session of resistance exercise does not lower postprandial TAG concentrations in overweight, sedentary men, regardless of exercise intensity; ad libitum energy intake is not significantly increased on the morning after a brisk walk, with the exercise-induced lowering of lipaemia akin to percentage reductions from studies where fixed size meals were given; and aerobic exercise which lowers postprandial lipaemia, also increases postprandial hepatic portal vein and femoral artery blood flow.
