TRAINING FOR FAT LOSSImpacts o f Resis tance, Interva l , and Endurance Train ing

James Krieger, M.S.

Three Ways In Which Exercise Can Impact Fat Loss

• Increase energy expenditure

– During training

• Exercise energy expenditure is one of the strongest predictors of changes in fat mass1

– During recovery

• Resting metabolic rate (RMR)

• Excess post-exercise oxygen consumption (EPOC)

• Repartitioning effect

– Maintain Fat-Free Mass (FFM) while losing fat

– Impact on abdominal fat

• Impact on appetite

1. Barwell et al., Metabolism, 58:1320-1328, 2009

Impacts of Exercise on Energy

Expenditure

Impact of Endurance Exercise On Energy Expenditure During Exercise

• Direct relationship between volume & energy expenditure for given intensity

• Direct relationship between intensity & energy expenditure for given volume

Impact of Endurance Exercise On Post-Exercise Energy Expenditure1

• Exponential relationship between exercise intensity & EPOC magnitude

• For intensities 50%+ VO2 max, linear increase in EPOC as exercise duration increases

• EPOC only comprises 6-15% of net exercise energy expenditure

– e.g., 15 – 38 kcal for a 250 kcal session

1. LaForgia et al., J Sports Sci, 24:1247-1264, 2006

Impact of Resistance Training On Energy Expenditure1

• Reported session energy expenditures in literature range from to 60 to 360 kcal in most studies

• Reported EPOCs range from 6 to 52 kcal over 1-2 hours post-exercise in most studies

• Total energy cost in 24 h (session + EPOC) will range from ~60 – 400 kcal

1. Meirelles & Gomes, Rev Bras Med Esporte, 10:131-138, 2004

Impact of Resistance Training Volume on Energy Expenditure

• Energy expenditure of single set training (1x15 RM, 8 exercises) is low1-2

2. Phillips & Ziuraitis. J Strength Cond Res, 18:606-609, 2004

Impact of Resistance Training Volume on Energy Expenditure

• High volume (3 sets of 10 exercises) produced greater energy expenditure during session than 1 set but not significantly higher RMR1

1. Heden et al., Eur J Appl Physiol, 111:477-484, 2011

Predicting Energy Expenditure from a Resistance Training Session1

• 0.874 * Height(cm) – 0.596 * Age(years) – 1.016 * Fat Mass (kg) + 1.638 * Lean Mass (kg) + 2.461 * Total Volume Load (sets*reps*load lifted in kg) * 0.001 – 110.742

– R2 = 0.77, SEE = 28.5 kcal

– Example:

• 178 cm male, 45 years, 66 kg lean mass, 11 kg fat mass, 13600 kg load volume (312 repetitions)

– Estimated energy expenditure = 148 kcal

• The Krieger Quick & Dirty Method

– 0.5 kcal per rep for smaller muscle groups, 1 kcal per rep for larger muscle groups

– R2 = Probably Pretty Low But It’s a Quick and Dirty Method so Who Cares

– 312 reps of smaller muscle group upper body training = 156 kcal

Impact of Resistance Training on Post-Exercise Energy Expenditure• Whole body resistance training (8x6 of 8 exercises) that emphasized

eccentric action (1 s con, 3 s ecc) increased RMR by ~150 kcal/d for up to 72 h in both trained and untrained subjects1

Interval Training vs. Steady Cardio For Fat Loss

Keating et al., Obes Rev., May 17, 2017 [Epub ahead of print]

• No significant difference between types of exercise for fat loss, whether energy expenditure/workload per session were matched or interval training involved less time & energy expenditure

– When interval training involved less time commitment & energy expenditure, results tended to favor continuous training (P = 0.09)

Interval Training vs. Steady Cardio For Fat Loss

Keating et al., Obes Rev., May 17, 2017 [Epub ahead of print]

• No significant difference between types of exercise for body fat percentage

Exercise Is Critical For Long-Term Weight Maintenance

Pavlou et al., Am. J. Clin. Nutr., 49:1115-1123, 1989

• In a meta-analysis, diet+exercise resulted in 5 lb more sustained weight loss (20%) over 1 year than diet alone1

1. Curioni & Lourenco, Int J Obes, 1168-1174, 2005

2,500 calories/week

1,000 calories/week

Tate et al., 2007

2,500 Calories Per Week Of Physical Activity For Long-Term Weight Maintenance

• Individuals in the National Weight Control Registry (NWCR) expend 2,620 kcal/wk in physical activity1

1. Phelan et al., Obesity, 14:710-716, 2006

SummaryEffects of Exercise On Energy Expenditure

• Endurance Training

– Direct relationship between volume/intensity and energy expenditure

– Impact on EPOC/RMR is minimal

• Most benefit is from energy expended in session itself

• Likely does not prevent reduction in RMR with weight loss

– Higher volumes results in better long-term fat loss outcomes


• Resistance Training

– Direct relationship between volume and energy expenditure

• Typical energy expenditures of low volume (8-10 total sets) are around 70-135 kcal

• Energy expenditure of high volume sessions (30-50 sets) can range from 200-400 kcal

– Significant increases in EPOC/RMR by 60-170 kcal/d over 24-72 h post-exercise

• Likely due to increased protein turnover

• RMR elevation is temporal to training session

– Likely does not prevent reduction in RMR with weight loss

– ~50-75% of energy expenditure benefit is from energy cost of session itself + early EPOC

– Added muscle does not significantly elevate RMR


• Interval Training

– No magical fat loss benefit

• Interval training and steady cardio are similarly efficacious for fat loss

• Interval training is not more “time efficient”– Data suggests moderate intensity exercise is

slightly superior if less time & energy is expended through interval training

• Personal preference & goals should dictate choice– Post-exercise elevation in energy expenditure is

only marginally higher than steady-state cardio and likely will not aid fat loss

• Elevation is temporary, lasting 1-3 hours after exercise

SummaryEffects of Exercise On Tissue Repartitioning

and Appetite• Both endurance and resistance training have

been shown to preserve FFM or reduce loss of FFM during weight loss

– Resistance training is likely superior

• Restores suppressed muscle protein synthesis during energy restriction

– FFM and muscle are not the same

• Loss of FFM does not mean loss of muscle

• No impact of exercise intensity on abdominal fat

• On average, exercise has only a trivial effect on energy intake

– Relative energy intake is significantly decreased due to energy cost of exercise itself

SummaryOther Notes

• Cardio can be optional– Fat loss can be achieved

with resistance training & dietary restriction alone, but diet will likely need to be more well controlled unless training volume is high

– Cardio in addition to weight training can allow for greater food intakes due to elevated energy expenditure

SummaryOther Notes

• Individualized programming is critical– Any exercise program for fat loss needs to take into

consideration personal preferences, individual schedules, injury status, biomechanical limitations, etc.

– Potential for overtraining needs to be considered when combining high-intensity protocols (like weight training and interval training)

• High levels of physical activity are critical for long-term weight maintenance
