Energy balance
The net increase in energy expenditure during and immediately after exercise represented 76 +/- 12% of the total increase in 24-hour EE.
Most of the increase in energy expenditure from resistance exercise occurs during and shortly after the workout.

The net increase in EE during and immediately after (30 minutes) exercise represented 76 +/- 12% of the total increase in 24-hour EE.
Why this rating
The study design involved precise measurements of energy expenditure.

- 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 (CON) at 2,001 +/- 369 kcal.d(-1), p < 0.001.Strong
- Twenty-four-hour carbohydrate oxidation was elevated on the REX day, while 24-hour fat and protein oxidation were not different.Strong
