STUDY DEMONSTRATES THAT RESISTANCE TRAINING SIGNIFICANTLY INCREASED RESTING METABOLIC RATE FOR PARTICIPANTS

“In conclusion, a 9-month resistance training program significantly increased RMR on average by 5%; the addition of protein supplementation did not produce additional increases in RMR. DXA metabolic mapping failed to predict RMR at baseline and at 9 months and was not associated with the RMR change. Just under half the variability in RMR response to resistance training was accounted for by FFM and thyroxine, suggesting that other factors contributed to the metabolic response.”
RESISTANCE TRAINING IS SHOWN TO BE EFFECTIVE IN IMPROVING INSULIN SENSITIVITY IN MEN

“Dynamic strength training improves insulin sensitivity in men with insulin resistance independently on weight loss or increase in aerobic capacity. Our results suggest that the dynamic strength training is an appropriate physical activity for management of the insulin resistance. ”
STRENGTH TRAINING AND AEROBIC TRAINING COMBINED ARE SHOWN TO BE MORE EFFECTIVE IN IMPROVING BODY COMPOSITION THAN EITHER MODALITY ALONE

“A 12-week training program comprising of resistance or combination exercise, at moderate-intensity for 30 min, five days/week resulted in improvements in the cardiovascular risk profile in overweight and obese participants compared to no exercise. From our observations, combination exercise gave greater benefits for weight loss, fat loss and cardio-respiratory fitness than aerobic and resistance training modalities. Therefore, combination exercise training should be recommended for overweight and obese adults in National Physical Activity Guidelines.”
