Effect of an acute period of resistance exercise on excess post-exercise oxygen consumption: implications for body mass management
Abstract
Studies have shown metabolism to remain elevated for hours following resistance exercise, but none have gone beyond 16 h, nor have they followed a whole body, high intensity exercise protocol. To examine the duration of excess post-exercise oxygen consumption (EPOC) following a period of heavy resistance exercise, seven healthy men [mean (SD) age 22 (3) years, height 177 (8) cm, mass 83 (10) kg, percentage body fat 10.4 (4.2)%] engaged in a 31 min period of resistance exercise, consisting of four circuits of bench press, power cleans, and squats. Each set was performed using the subject's own predetermined ten-repetition maximum and continued until failure. Oxygen consumption ( ) measurements were obtained at consistent times (34 h pre-, 29 h pre-, 24 h pre-, 10 h pre-, 5 h pre-, immediately post-, 14 h post-, 19 h post-, 24 h post-, 38 h post-, 43 h post-, and 48 h post-exercise). Post-exercise measurements were compared to the baseline measurements made at the same time of day. The was significantly elevated ( P<0.05) above baseline values at immediately post, 14, 19, and 38 h post-exercise. Mean daily values for both post-exercise days were also significantly elevated above the mean value for the baseline day. These results suggest that EPOC duration following resistance exercise extends well beyond the previously reported duration of 16 h. The duration and magnitude of the EPOC observed in this study indicates the importance of future research to examine a possible role f…

Resistance training increases excess post-exercise oxygen consumption immediately after the training session.
“RT acts in a substantially different way compared to endurance training (ET), it increases muscle mass in the long term [8] but also increases excess post-exercise oxygen consumption (EPOC) immediately after the training session [9].”

The greater increase in EPOC after more intense exercise involves a perturbation of energy homeostasis.
“Many authors [9,13,37] explain the basis of the greater increase in EPOC after more intense exercise as involving a perturbation of energy homeostasis.”

Studies report similar resting energy expenditure increases of between 16-20% after resistance training.
“This consideration could help to explain the conflicting data between our study plus others reporting similar REE increases of between 16-20% [9,38,39] and several that reported a more modest increases (4–10%) [23,40-42].”

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
