The prevalence of obese and overweight persons is growing, both in Brazil and in other parts of the world. It is, therefore, important to establish strategies that will try to control this. The combination of energy restriction and aerobic exercises has long been recognized as an effective means of controlling body composition; on the other hand, the impact of resistance exercises on weight loss is still questionable. Thus, the purpose of this review was to discuss the effect of resistance exercises on energy expenditure, considering each of its related variables - intensity, duration, number of sets, interval between sets, movement velocity and type of training (circuit or multiple sets). The reviewed studies showed that resistance exercises may induce an acute increase in energy expenditure, through the energy cost of the exercise session itself and through the excess post-exercise oxygen consumption (EPOC). It is also recognized that the many variables related to resistance exercises influence the results in different ways. Number of repetitions, load, rest interval between sets and number of sets, when manipulated in order to increase volume or intensity, may significantly increase the energy expenditure of a typical exercise session. In general, considering all the limitations of the reviewed studies, the literature indicates that volume is the variable with greatest impact on energy expenditure during the training session, and that intensity has its largest impact on EPOC.

INTRODUCTION
Comprehension of the factors that affect energy balance is of key importance in understanding the regulation of body mass. Energy balance is determined, on the one hand, by energy consumption and, on the other, by energy expenditure. When these factors are not in equilibrium, it may result in an excessive accumulation or reduction of the energy stored endogenously as body fat. However, obesity is the most frequent result of the unbalance between food ingestion and energy expenditure.
The number of overweight persons has been increasing in Brazil and in many other parts of the world. Recent results revealed that, among the population residing in Rio de Janeiro, 44% of men and 33% of women between 26 and 45 year of age were overweight or obese(1).
Obesity, according to the World Health Organization(2), is considered a public health problem that leads to serious social, psychological and physical consequences, and is associated to greater risks of morbimortality by non-transmittable chronic diseases. Individuals with a body mass index equal to or above 30 kg.m-2 are classified as obese(2). Although the causes of this phenomenon are multifactorial(3) and therefore difficult to be established, the scientific community considers it wise to investigate ways to increase daily energy expenditure in order to reduce or control the prevalence of obesity.
Energy expenditure of physical activity is the most variable component of total energy expenditure. It can be voluntarily increased, contributing to a negative energy balance when food intake is also controlled(4).
Programs combining energy restriction and aerobic exercises have been, for a long time, indicated for weight loss(5,6). This is justified by the role of physical activity in enhancing fat loss and minimizing reductions in lean mass observed during diet-only programs(7). However, recent results indicate that, when food restriction is very severe, this combination may not be sufficient to avoid losses in lean body mass(4,8), consequently leading to a reduction in resting energy expenditure(9). Lean body mass is the variable that mostly contributes to this component of total energy expenditure.
Resistance exercises have been recognized as an important component of a physical activity program for adults, leading to gains in muscular strength, resistance and power(10,11). The increase in popularity of resistance training over the last two decades may be attributed to its health promotion benefits. Among these, one can emphasize its role in maintaining or increasing fat free mass(12,13) and resting metabolic rate, even when associated with hypo-energetic diets(8,14,15). However, the real impact of resistance exercises on weight loss is still questionable due to evidence opposing those mentioned above(16,17), which leads to the belief that its major benefit would be mostly derived from the increase in daily energy expenditure related to the cost in performing the exercise(17,18).
Thus, the purpose of this review was to discuss energy expenditure of resistance exercises, considering each of its related variables intensity, duration, number of sets, interval between sets, movement velocity and type of training (circuit or multiple sets).
DAILY ENERGY EXPENDITURE AND PHYSICAL ACTIVITY
Total energy expenditure is made up of three components: resting metabolism, diet-induced thermogenesis (DIT), and physical activity. Resting metabolic rate (RMR) is defined as the energy expenditure necessary to maintain the physiological processes in the post-absorptive state and, depending on the level of physical activity, may represent approximately 60 to 70% of total energy expenditure. DIT refers to the increase in metabolic rate above resting levels due to food intake and corresponds to approximately 10% of total energy expenditure. Physical activity is the most variable component and is related to the energy expenditure necessary for skeletal muscle activity. In sedentary individuals it represents approximately 15% of total energy expenditure, whereas in physically active individuals this can reach 30%(19).
All three components are subject to changes due to external factors and physical activity may cause acute and chronic increases in total energy expenditure. Acute increases would be due to the energy cost of performing the exercises in itself and of recovery after the exercise session, and chronic increases would be due to alterations in RMR(20). The acute effects will be discussed below. For a review of chronic effects, the reader should refer to other papers available in the literature(21-24).
ENERGY EXPENDITURE OF RESISTANCE EXERCISES
The American College of Sports Medicine (ACSM)(10) recommends that resistance training with the aim of providing health benefits to the adult population should include at least one set of 8-12 repetitions of each one of 8-10 exercises involving the major muscle groups. Recently, in a position stand specifically aimed at resistance training, the ACSM(11) recommended greater intensities and volume for a training program that should be progressive and periodized, intended at improving muscular strength, hypertrophy and resistance.
The problem in studying the energy expenditure of resistance exercises seems to be the many different possibilities of combining exercises (those involving greater muscle mass incur in significantly larger energy expenditure(25)), number of sets, rest interval, number of repetitions, velocity of movement and load. Comparing the values obtained in the different studies becomes virtually impossible due to the great number of variables. In addition, individual characteristics such as gender, age, body composition and fitness level are considered potential intervening variables.
It should be mentioned that energy expenditure in males is always significantly higher than in females when performing similar resistance exercise protocols. This is caused by the larger free fat mass of males, compared to females. These differences become negligible when results are expressed as kcal.kg-1 of free fat mass(26,27), demonstrating how gender and body composition are important in interpreting results.
Respiratory gas exchange measurement or indirect calorimetry is the most commonly used technique to estimate energy expenditure of physical activity, with a reported accuracy of 2% and 4%(28). Therefore, this review included only studies that used this technique to measure energy expenditure of a resistance exercise session (table 1) and during its recovery (table 2).
1. Energy expenditure during a resistance exercise session
The energy expenditure during a resistance exercise session (consecutive multiple-set or circuit) has been investigated in a few studies, with results indicating a wide range of values, from 64 to 534 kcal(29-32).
During the seventies, Wilmore et al.(33) carried out the first study on this topic and found that trained men and women, aged 17 to 36 years, expended on average 131 kcal and 95 kcal, respectively, during a 22-minute circuit of light exercises.
Many other investigations were carried out on the following decades, most of which with non-athletes and, consequently, using exercise intensities much lower than those employed in competitive training. However, a study with Olympic weight lifters(25) showed that the energy expenditure during a typical training session of preparatory phase was approximately 392 kcal (11 kcal.min-1). These values were much higher than those reported for non-athletic samples of resistance training experienced subjects (approximately 6 kcal.min-1). It should be pointed out, though, that the latter study has serious limitations in relation to the description of variables important to the exercise protocol, such as intensity, number of sets and total volume. In addition, energy expenditure was measured during the periods of activity, and excluded the rest intervals between sets. There is also no mention as to whether the results represent net or gross values, which hinders the understanding of the results and comparisons to other studies.
The factors that most contribute to the energy expenditure of aerobic activity are duration and intensity(34). Chad and Wenger(35), when exposing young adults of both genders to cycling at 70% of O2max during 30, 45 and 60 min, found that energy expenditure showed a linear relationship with exercise duration. Net energy expenditure was approximately 10.6 kcal.min-1 for all three conditions (values obtained by multiplying O2 consumption (in litres) by 5 kcal).
It is not possible to measure the effect of duration alone in a multiple-set resistance exercise session. To do so, it would be necessary to manipulate the rest interval between sets, which would eventually influence intensity and/or total work (defined here as the product of number of repetitions and load). It is known that as the rest interval between sets decreases, the relative intensity increases(36,37).
Nevertheless, it was possible to study the effect of duration during a session of circuit weight training. Results showed that the rest interval between stations was directly related to total oxygen consumption (L.min-1), i.e. protocols with longer rest intervals required longer time to be performed and, consequently, greater absolute O2 for the exercise session(26,38,39). It should be pointed out, though, that these studies showed serious threats to external validity as the number of repetitions (20RM), the time in each station (5 to 40 s), and the low intensity (40 to 60% of 1RM) used for testing were far from those recommended for gains in muscular strength and hypertrophy(10,11).
In a comparison between circuit and continuous multiple-set resistance exercise protocols, Pichon et al.(40) observed higher energy expenditure for the circuit workout. However, the two protocols in this study varied not only in protocol, but also in volume, number of repetitions, intensity and interval between sets, jeopardizing any comparison. It is interesting to note that the intensity of the exercise was relevant in determining energy expenditure, since intensity:total work ratio was larger for the traditional protocol (greater intensity and smaller volume than for the circuit protocol). But this result is also difficult to interpret, since energy expenditure was calculated adding that of the exercise session to that of the first minutes of recovery. Thus, it is possible that intensity had a greater impact on the recovery period than during the exercise session. Due to the study design, it was not possible to isolate the effect of exercise intensity on the session itself.
The effects of intensity on energy expenditure have not been well investigated, but it seems that they are more pronounced during recovery from exercise(32). Traditional resistance exercises of different intensities, but same total volume, seem to demand the same amount of energy, at least in trained young females(32).
Another variable that has not been properly investigated is movement velocity. Hunter et al.(41) demonstrated that the energy expenditure of an exercise session using isotonic equipment and performed with super-slow velocity (10 s concentric phase; 5 s eccentric phase) was only 69% of that of a traditional resistance exercise session with the same duration. This difference can probably be accounted for by the smaller total work of the super-slow protocol. On the other hand, Ballor et al.(26) reported that energy expenditure was independent of movement velocity, comparing exercise protocols with equal duration and, similarly, lower volume for the slower velocities.
Comparison of these two studies that investigated movement velocity is limited by the fact that, in the first study, intensity was different for the two protocols, and, in the second, exercises were performed in a circuit and using hydraulic equipment. This would lead one to consider that physiological responses may be due not only to velocity and total volume, but also to the type of protocol (circuit or multiple-set), the equipment used, and probably movement efficiency.
Recently, Phillips and Ziuraits(42) measured the energy expenditure required to perform one set of eight resistance exercises, as recommended by ACSM(10) to promote health benefits for adults, and demonstrated that this protocol was adequate in terms of intensity (around 4 METs moderate intensity). However, the energy expenditure of the exercise session was considered low (approximately 135 kcal for males and 82 kcal for females), showing the need to complement this protocol. The authors suggested including one or two exercises involving large muscle groups for men. For women, they suggested performing two sets, instead of one, in order to achieve the minimum recommendation of 150 kcal of daily energy expenditure provided for by physical exercises.
In summary, if volume is really the variable with greatest impact on energy expenditure of resistance exercise (as seems to be the case for isotonic exercises), this would mean that there is no need to use high intensities when the aim is to increase energy expenditure. This would apply to untrained or overweight individuals and, although not specifically referring to resistance training, there is evidence that high-intensity exercise programs are related to low adherence in this population(43).
Table 1 summarizes the studies that investigated energy expenditure during a resistance exercise session.
2. Excess post-exercise oxygen consumption (EPOC)
After exercise, oxygen consumption remains elevated above resting levels for a certain period of time, showing increased energy expenditure during this period. This extra oxygen consumption is called EPOC. Although this phenomenon is well recognized, its magnitude, duration and metabolic bases need to be better understood, and so do the effects of the different variables related to physical exercises.
In relation to aerobic exercises, it has long been known that energy expenditure may remain elevated for more than 12 hours after the end of exercise on a cycle-ergometer(44,45), resulting in an additional expenditure of 73 to 150 kcal(46,47). Duration and intensity of the exercise are considered to interfere in the magnitude if the responses, where the relation to EPOC is linear for duration and exponential for intensity(46-48).
However, Chad and Wenger(35) observed that increasing the duration of the activity (cycle-ergometer at 70% of O2max during 30, 45 or 60 min) also resulted in an exponential increase in EPOC. These authors also found that energy expenditure during EPOC increased approximately twice after 45 min of activity and more than five times after 60 min, when compared to 30 min. These findings are unique in the literature, since these same authors and others(46,49) had already reported that EPOC increased linearly with duration of exercise at 70% of
O2max. In addition, it should be pointed out that the sample studied by Chad and Wenger(35) was made of only five subjects and of both genders (two males and three females).
More recently, investigations have focused on the effect of resistance exercise on EPOC and a wide range of results have been found (ranging, on average, from 6 to 114 kcal during 60 min to 15 h after the end of exercise)(29,31,32,50). Even more surprising results were seen by Schuenke et al.(51), who studied trained young men after a circuit-resistance exercise session and observed that EPOC remained significantly above resting values during 38 h after termination of the activity. The important contribution of this study relies in the fact that resting O2 consumption was measured on the day preceding the exercise measurements, but on the same time of day when EPOC was measured. In this way, possible differences due to variances in circadian energy expenditure were ruled out.
Once again, as mentioned above on the session on energy expenditure during the exercise session, the wide differences found in EPOC are due to the many possible combinations of the variables involved in resistance training. These many combinations make it difficult to compare and interpret results from different studies. However, the literature indicates that certain variables may have effects on EPOC different from those reported earlier in relation to energy expenditure of the exercise session.
Some researchers compared the impact of resistance and aerobic exercises, and showed that resistance exercises may result in a significantly larger EPOC(52).
Burleson et al.(53) compared duration and magnitude of EPOC in a typical resistance exercise session with that of aerobic exercises with same duration (27 min) and intensity (approximately 44% of O2max). Results showed that oxygen consumption remained significantly elevated up to 90 min after terminating the resistance exercises and only 30 min after the aerobic activity. EPOC was significantly higher during the first 30 min after resistance exercises (19 litres) than after the aerobic exercise (12.7 litres), representing an additional expenditure of 95 and 64 kcal, respectively.
The variable with greatest impact on EPOC seems to be intensity and, in view of the current knowledge, only one study(54) contradicts this affirmative.
With the objective of investigating the effects of intensity on EPOC, Thornton and Potteiger(32) tested 14 trained young women in two conditions with resistance exercises of same volume and same intra-set rest intervals. The high intensity group (23 min, 8 reps at 85% of 8RM) was shown to have a significantly higher EPOC than the low intensity group (26 min, 15 reps at 45% of 8RM), similar to responses to aerobic exercise(47).
Testing the effect of rest intervals between stations of a circuit-resistance exercise session on EPOC, Haltom et al.(39) showed that the short interval (20 s) protocol resulted in a significantly higher EPOC than the long one (60 s). This also demonstrates the effect of intensity on EPOC, since rest interval between sets is one of the variables that determines the intensity of resistance exercise(36,37). The authors further noted that it was the fast component of EPOC that was mostly influenced by the shorter rest interval between exercises.
The metabolic factors responsible for EPOC are still not clear, but it is known that there is a fast and a slow component. The fast component lasts only a few minutes and is mostly related to the elevation of blood lactate concentration(31) and to muscle creatine rephosphorylation (55). The slow component is mostly related to the magnitude of anaerobic metabolism during exercise.
High intensity activities result in a greater activation of the sympathetic nervous system(56), which in turn results in a post-exercise increase in lipid metabolism in response to changes in the substrate predominantly used for energy production (from carbohydrate during intense activity to lipids during recovery). One of the most important factors responsible for the higher energy expenditure seen for many hours after intense activity is stimulus of the triacylglycerol-fatty acid cycle in adipose tissue. Additionally, other aspects to be considered are glycogen resynthesis(52), tissue injury and the effects that lead to muscle hypertrophy as a result of resistance training(57), which may also cause greater energy expenditure.
Increase in lipid oxidation in response to resistance exercise is another factor that should be considered due to its importance in weight management. Various studies reported a significantly lower respiratory exchange ratio compared to that measured before exercise or in control groups, which means a greater utilization of fat for energy production during the hours post-exercise(29,31,48).
However, Melanson et al.(58) demonstrated that 24-h fat oxidation (measured in a calorimetry chamber) was not statistically different between days when subjects performed aerobic or resistance exercises and no exercise, the control situation. Based on this evidence, it would seem that the greater fat oxidation reported in some studies may not represent a real long term increase in the use of lipids as energy substrate. Most studies restricted measurement of the respiratory exchange ratio to a few minutes immediately post-exercise.
There are fewer studies on the duration of EPOC than on its magnitude. Melby et al.(29) observed that the RMR of trained young males remained significantly elevated for 15 hours after a resistance exercise session comprising of seven exercises, three sets of 10-12RM and two-minute intervals between sets. This represented an energy expenditure of approximately 100 kcal. The authors concluded that the greatest impact on the magnitude and duration of EPOC was the high intensity.
Table 2 summarises the information from investigations on the energy expenditure during recovery from resistance exercise sessions.
In summary, EPOC resulting from a single resistance exercise session does not represent a great impact on energy balance; however, its cumulative effect may be relevant. Depending on exercise selection, intensity and frequency of training, summation of energy expended during recovery may be important in increasing total energy expenditure, thus contributing to management or reduction of body weight.
CONCLUSION
Based on current knowledge and considering all variables related to resistance training, it is still not possible to determine the best exercise protocol in order to substantially increase energy expenditure. New studies are needed to investigate the effects of movement velocity and of the combination of aerobic and resistance exercises. Further, it is important to establish the effects of individual characteristics, such as nutritional status, age, gender, body composition and fitness level on energy expenditure of resistance exercise. New studies should control these variables in order to isolate the contribution of each one to the energy expenditure of resistance exercise. Considering all limitations of the reviewed studies, the literature indicates that the variables that mostly influence energy expenditure of resistance exercise are volume and intensity, during the exercise session itself and EPOC, respectively.
