Predicting Energy Expenditure of an Acute Resistance Exercise Bout in Men and Women.

Unlabelled: The energy expenditure of resistance exercise (RE) is an important consideration for exercise prescription and weight management, yet prediction models are lacking.

Purpose: This study aimed to develop regression equations to predict energy expenditure (kcal) for RE involving each major muscle group using commonly measured demographic and exercise variables as predictors.

Methods: Fifty-two healthy, active subjects (27 men, 25 women, age 20-58 yr, height 174.
