Effects of Increased Muscle Mass on Resting Metabolic Rate

• Status: Completed
• Phase: N/A
• Study type: Interventional
• Enrollment: 24 (actual)
• Sponsor: University Hospital, Linkoeping · Academic / Other
• Sex: Male
• Age: 18 Years – 45 Years
• Healthy volunteers: Accepted

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.
