Energy Expenditure During Acute and Chronic Resistance Exercises in Healthy Population

The present study aims to predict energy expenditure models for some resistance training exercises like: dumbbell bent row over, dumbbell deadlift, dumbbell lunge, dumbbell shoulder press, and dumbbell squat using oxygen consumption or Metabolic Equivalents (METs) as a dependent variable while blood pressure, heart rate, respiratory exchange ratio, blood lactate, rate of perceived exertion, body mass index, body weight, body height, body fat composition, muscle strength, and surface electromyography of selected muscles as independent variables. The previous literature measures energy expenditure for various lower and upper body resistance training exercises but it devoid for dumbbell bent row over, dumbbell deadlift, dumbbell lunge, dumbbell shoulder press, and dumbbell squat energy expenditure models between untrained and trained participants. The subject will come for 5-8 times clinical trial for total 10-20 days. After the completion of this study, the participant will know about their energy expenditure during included strength training exercises.

The study will include total 30 participants; 15 normal healthy young individuals and 15 athletes with regular resistance exercise training experience. The experiments will be divided into 2 stages. The first stage experiment will be conducted in 10 young individuals into two groups. The group one (untrained) will include 5 normal healthy individuals without resistance exercise training experience and group two (trained) will include 5 individuals with regular resistance training experience of two months. The second stage will proceed more 20 young participants (10 participants in each group) to determine the resistance exercise energy expenditure.

* Not having any metabolic, systematic, musculoskeletal disease or injury
* No recent surgical procedure which can hinder exercise training

* Physically fit according to Physical Activity Readiness Questionnaire (Par-Q)

Exclusion Criteria:

* Age below 20 or above 40
* Having any metabolic, systematic, musculoskeletal disease or injury
* Recent surgical procedure
