Resistance training, energy balance and weight management

This is a current project.

Description

This project aims to determine the impact of the volume of a progresive resistance training protocol for inducing muscular hypertrophy on body weight and body composition and the balance between energy intake and energy expenditure. If the study finds that resistance training has a favorable impact on energy balance and body composition, it may provide an attractive alternative to aerobic exercise for weight management for busy young adults.
