Energy Expenditure during Acute Weight Training Exercises in Healthy Participants: A Preliminary Study

Energy expenditure during weight training exercises produces great fitness and health benefits for humans, but few studies have investigated energy directly training. Therefore, in this study, we aimed to determine costs three sessions consisting of different exercises. Ten participants were randomly allocated into two groups: an untrained (n = 5, with no experience) a trained group some experience). Each participant completed on separate days. While wearing mask indirect calorimetric measurements, each participated conducted dumbbell exercises: the bent-over row, deadlift, lunge. Metabolic equivalents (METs), (EE), respiratory exchange ratio (RER), heart rate (HR), systolic blood pressure (SBP), diastolic (DBP), perceived exertion (RPE) measured. The total cost was calculated from oxygen consumption (VO2) exercise. Our results showed that METs single session 3.3 3.4 group, while sum EE 683–688 779–840 kcal, respectively. physiological parameters, such as (p 0.001 *) lunge 0.005 changed significantly both groups. It concluded exercise protocol study involved moderate intensity 2.4–3.9 METs. between 179 291 kcal.
