The Effect Of Various Types Of Resistance Training On The Amount Oxygen Consumption After Exercise In Non-Athletic Men

Abstract

Objective: Today, it has been proven that diets alone cannot manage weight and body composition properly, especially in weight loss programs with long-term food deprivation, it is feared that the lost weight will be regained. The aim of this research is to investigate the effect of three types of resistance exercise (intensity 50, 75 and 85% of a maximum repetition) on the amount of EPOC in male students.

Research method: The statistical population included all male students of universities who were randomly selected from the available samples of 45 people and each of these people participated in all three stages of the current research tests, the resistance training stage with Intensity of 50%, 75% and 85% of one repetition maximum (n=15) were involved. To compare the three intensities in all measured variables, covariance test was used by SPSS21 software at the significant level of subjects P>0.05.

Findings: The results showed that two sessions of 50%, 75%, and 85% 1RM resistance exercise are equal in terms of training volume, but EPOC after the 85% intensity resistance exercise session is greater compared to the lower intensity resistance exercise session.
