Outline of Final Research Achievements

This study aimed to examine the excess post-exercise oxygen consumption (EPOC) after performing different types of resistance exercises. We observed that resistance exercises of the lower body elicited greater energy metabolism than the resistance exercises of the upper body. However, intensity of exercise, volume, and order of exercise did not exhibit a significant effect on the EPOC even when resistance exercises were performed with maximum repetitions.

Academic Significance and Societal Importance of the Research Achievements

本研究は運動後のエネルギー消費量を増加させる有効なレジスタンス運動の種目および運動強度、実施順序を検討した。本研究の結果は運動中および運動後のエネルギー消費を増加させる、または減量などを目的としたレジスタンス運動トレーニング・プログラムの立案に対して提供可能な情報の一つであると考えられる。
