| Abstract;The effects of light resistance exercise on resting metabolic rate (RMR), diet-induced thermogenesis (DIT) and body composition were studied in twenty mildly obese women aged 19-20 years. The subjects were randomly assigned to one of the following two groups: a light resistance-training group (n = 10), and no-exercise control group (n = 10). In the training group, subjects performed resistance exercises with pairs of 2 kg dumb-bells everyday after supper for about 20 min. All subjects were seen individually each week for nutritional counseling, with the emphasis on behavior modification that included recording daily food intake. Subjects underwent several measurements (body composition, RMR and DIT test) before starting the experiment and after 12 weeks. During the 12-week experimental period, body weight and body fat decreased significantly in the training group without reducing fat free mass (FFM). The training group significantly increased RMR and DIT, adjusted for body weight. Changes in metabolic parameters and body composition were negligible in the control group. These results suggest that light resistance exercise decreases body weight and body fat without reducing FFM in relation to increasing RMR and DIT. (author abst.) |
