This study determined the effect of an intense bout of resistive exercise on postexercise oxygen consumption, resting metabolic rate, and resting fat oxidation in young women (N = 7, ages 22-35). On the morning of Day 1, resting metabolic rate (RMR) was measured by indirect calorimetry. At 13:00 hr, preexercise resting oxygen consumption was measured followed by 100 min of resistive exercise. Postexercise oxygen consumption was then measured for a 3-hr recovery period. On the following morning (Day 2), RMR was once again measured in a fasted state at 07:00. Postexercise oxygen consumption remained elevated during the entire 3-hr postexercise recovery period compared to the pre-exercise baseline. Resting metabolic rate was increased by 4.2% (p < .05) from Day 1 (morning prior to exercise: 1,419 ± 58 kcal/24 hr) compared to Day 2 (16 hr following exercise: 1,479 ± 65 kcal/24 hr). Resting fat oxidation as determined by the respiratory exchange ratio was also significantly elevated on Day 2 compared to Day 1. These results indicate that among young women, acute strenuous resistance exercise of the nature used in this study is capable of producing modest but prolonged elevations of postexercise metabolic rate and possibly fat oxidation.

Smith, D. A., J. Dollman, R. T. Withers, M. Brinkman, J. P. Keeves, and D. G. Clark. Relationship between maximum aerobic power and resting metabolic rate in young adult women. J. Appl. Physiol. 82(1): 156–163, 1997.—The literature is inconclusive as to the chronic effect of aerobic exercise on resting metabolic rate (RMR), and furthermore there is a scarcity of data on young women. Thirty-four young women exhibiting a wide range of aerobic fitness [maximum aerobic power (V˙o 2 max) = 32.3–64.8 ml ⋅ kg−1 ⋅ min−1] were accordingly measured for RMR by the Douglas bag method, treadmillV˙o 2 max, and fat-free mass (FFM) by using Siri’s three-compartment model. The interclass correlation ( n = 34) between RMR (kJ/h) and V˙o 2 max(ml ⋅ kg−1 ⋅ min−1) was significant ( r = 0.39, P < 0.05). However, this relationship lost statistical significance when RMR was indexed to FFM and when partial correlation analysis was used to control for FFM differences. Furthermore, multiple linear-regression analysis indicated that only FFM emerged as a significant predictor of RMR (kJ/h). When high- ( n = 12) and low-fitness ( n = 12) groups were extracted from the cohort on the basis ofV˙o 2 max scores, independent t-tests revealed significant between-group differences ( P < 0.05) for RMR (kJ ⋅ kg−1 ⋅ h−1) andV˙o 2 max(ml ⋅ kg−1 ⋅ min−1) but not for RMR (kJ/h), RMR (kJ ⋅ kg FFM−1 ⋅ h−1), and FFM. Analysis of covariance of RMR (kJ/h) with FFM as the covariate also showed no significant difference ( P = 0.56) between high- and low-fitness groups. Thus the results suggest that 1) FFM accounts for most of the differences in RMR between subjects of varyingV˙o 2 max values and 2) the RMR per unit of FFM in young healthy women is unrelated toV˙o 2 max.

Abstract. Objectives: Obesity plays an important role in the development of chronic diseases including cardiovascular disease and diabetes. A low resting metabolic rate (RMR) for a given body size and composition is a risk factor for obesity, however, there is limited evidence available regarding the association of nutrient patterns and RMR. The aim of this study was to determine the association of nutrient patterns and RMR in overweight and obese women. Study design: This cross-sectional study was conducted on 360 women who were overweight or obese. Method: Dietary intake was assessed using a semi-quantitative standard food frequency questionnaire (FFQ). Nutrient patterns were also extracted by principal components analysis (PCA). All participants were evaluated for their body composition, RMR, and blood parameters. Result: Three nutrient patterns explaining 64% of the variance in dietary nutrients consumption were identified as B-complex-mineral, antioxidant, and unsaturated fatty acid and vitamin E (USFA-vit E) respectively. Participants were categorized into two groups based on the nutrient patterns. High scores of USFA-vit E pattern was significantly associated with the increase of RMR (β = 0.13, 95% CI = 0.79 to 68.16, p = 0.04). No significant associations were found among B-complex-mineral pattern (β = −0.00, 95% CI = −49.67 to 46.03, p = 0.94) and antioxidant pattern (β = 0.03, 95% CI −41.42 to 22.59, p = 0.56) with RMR. Conclusion: Our results suggested that the “USFA-vit E” pattern (such as PUFA, oleic, linoleic, vit.E, α-tocopherol and EPA) was associated with increased RMR.
