Despite this knowledge, health- and fitness clubs offer different resistance-exercise-based group classes and claim these to be effective in improving body composition and reduce body weight. Increased energy expenditure is imperative if exercise is used to reduce body weight through loss of fat mass however, traditional resistance exercise does not appreciably elevate energy expenditure relative to other exercise modalities (e.g., endurance training) ( Donnelly et al., 2009 Willis et al., 2012 Swift et al., 2018).

Traditionally, endurance training have been prioritized as physical activity among overweight and obese, but the American College of Sports Medicine (ACSM) also recommend adults to perform regular resistance exercise ( Garber et al., 2011). Several lifestyle related interventions have been investigated to treat overweight and obesity and prevent weight gain, and today a combination of energy restrictions, physical activity, and behavioral change strategies are recommended ( Donnelly et al., 2009 Laddu et al., 2011 Dombrowski et al., 2014 Samdal et al., 2017). According to the World Health Organization, 40% of the adult female population are classified as overweight and 15% as obese. The worldwide prevalence of overweight (BMI в‰Ґ 25.0 kg/m 2) and obesity (BMI в‰Ґ 30.0 kg/m 2) have increased considerably during the last three decades ( Ng et al., 2014 Di Cesare et al., 2016). With no group differences, the resting metabolic rate (RMR) was elevated with 15вЂ“22% 2 h after exercise.Д¬onclusion: Overweight women achieved an energy expenditure of approximately 300 kcal (4.7 kcal per min) during a single session of BodyPump, which was similar with the women performing a single session of heavy load resistance exercise. Results: The BodyPump group lifted significantly more loads than the heavy load group (19,485 kg В± 2258 vs 15,616 kg В± 2976, p = 0.006), while energy expenditure was similar with 302 kcal В± 67 and 289 kcal В± 69 in BodyPump and heavy load group, respectively ( p = 0.69). The energy expenditure was assessed with indirect calorimetry during the sessions and for two intervals at rest during the recovery phase: 0вЂ“20 and 120вЂ“140 min after the sessions. Methods: Eighteen women participated in the study (mean age 35.4 years В± 10.2, BMI 30.4 kg/m 2 В± 4.8), 10 exercising BodyPump (50вЂ“100 repetitions each muscle group) and eight performed a heavy load session (eight repetition maximum Г— three sets). Therefore, we herein aimed to estimate the energy expenditure during a session of BodyPump and a time-matched session of heavy load resistance training in overweight women (BMI в‰Ґ 25.0).

For individuals using exercise for body-weight management, the energy expenditure during exercise is of interest.

Purpose: High-repetition, low-load resistance exercise in group class settings has gained popularity in recent years, with BodyPump as a prime example.
