 ABSTRACT

 【Background】The benefit of body weight resistance exercise with slow movement(BWRE-slow) for muscle function is well-documented, but not for energy metabolism.We aimed to examine physiological responses (e.g., energy expenditure (EE),respiratory exchange ratio (RER), and blood lactate (La)) during and after BWREslowcompared with EE-matched treadmill walking( TW). 【Methods】Eight healthy young men (23.4±1.8years old, 171.2±6.2cm, 63.0±4.8kg) performed Squat, Push-up, Lunge, Heel-raise, Hip-lift, and Crunch exerciseswith BWRE-slow modality: Both the concentric and eccentric phase were set to 3sec.A total of 3 sets( 10repetitions) with 30 sec rest between sets were performed for eachexercise( 26.5min).On another day, subjects walked on a treadmill for 26.5min duringwhich EE during exercise was matched to that of BWRE-slow with the researchercontrolling the treadmill speed manually. 【Results】The time course changes of EE and RER were measured. The EEduring exercise for BWRE-slow (92.6±16.0 kcal for 26.5min) was not significantlydifferent from the EE during exercise for TW( 95.5±14.1kcal, P=0.36).BWRE-slowelicited greater recovery EE( 40.55±3.88kcal for 30-min) than TW( 37.61±3.19kcal,P=0.029).RER was significantly higher in BWRE-slow during and 0-5min afterexercise, but became significantly lower during 25-30min after exercise, suggestinggreater lipid oxidation was induced about 30-min after exercise in BWRE-slowcompared with TW. 【Conclusion】We also indicated BWRE-slow has 3.1METs in average which iscategorized into moderate-intensity physical activity.
