Methods to Assess Energy Expenditure of Resistance Exercise: A Systematic Scoping Review.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Nutrition guidance for athletes must consider a range of variables to effectively support individuals in meeting energy and nutrient needs. Resistance exercise is a widely adopted training method in athlete preparation and rehabilitation and therefore is one such variable that will influence nutrition guidance. Given its prominence, the capacity to meaningfully quantify resistance exercise energy expenditure will assist practitioners and researchers in providing nutrition guidance. However, the significant contribution of anaerobic metabolism makes quantifying energy expenditure of resistance exercise challenging.

Objective

The aim of this scoping review was to investigate the methods used to assess resistance exercise energy expenditure.
