Twenty-four-hour carbohydrate oxidation was elevated on the REX day, while 24-hour fat and protein oxidation were not different.
Resistance exercise increases carbohydrate oxidation without affecting fat or protein oxidation.

- Twenty-four-hour energy expenditure (EE) on the resistance exercise (REX) day was 2,328 ± 327 kcal·d-1, which is greater than the control day (2,001 ± 369 kcal·d-1, p < 0.001).Strong
- The net increase in energy expenditure during and immediately after exercise represented 76 ± 12% of the total increase in 24-hour EE.Strong
