Purpose: The purpose of this study is to investigate the cardiopulmonary endurance and the energy metabolism of obese male college students group and normal male college students group of graded load exercise using lower cycle ergometer. Methods: Targeting 15 obese male college students and normal male college Students, an graded load exercise was performed with the use of lower cycle ergometer by increasing 20 watts every 2 minute and ERS 2.0 system were used for the cardiopulmonary function and the energy metabolism. Results: The obese college student group showed significantly lower results in cardiopulmonary endurance in maximum oxygen intake and per minute ventilation, and in energy metabolism, body metabolism and maximum energy consumption were significantly lower than in the normal college student group. Conclusion: Therefore, the decrease in cardiopulmonary endurance in obese college students can act as a negative factor that increases the risk of cardiovascular disease and the prevalence of various disease in the future, so it is necessary to manage cardiopulmonary function and energy consumption metabolism through active weight management and exercise.
