Effects of Increased Muscle Mass on Resting Metabolic Rate

NCT01325038 · Status: COMPLETED · Phase: NA · Type: INTERVENTIONAL · Enrollment: 24

No results posted yet for this study

Summary

Healthy males are randomized to isometric exercise for three months with either extra protein or extra calories in the form of a fast food meal/day in order to study if increase in muscle mass increases resting metabolic rate and if this is affected by presumed increased caloric intake as compared with only proteins.

Body-composition was measured with Dual-Energy X-ray Absorbimetry (DEXA) and RMR was measured by registration of CO2 production and O2 consumption.
