The effect of anaerobic exercise on the thermic effect of food
… a similar effect occurs with anaerobic exercise (weight lifting). VO2 was measured after ingestion of a 660 kcal meal with and without prior completion of a weight-training regimen. TEF was 42% higher after the exercise trial (t = 2.539, p < .017), compared with the control trial. These results …

The Relationship Between Exercise-Induced Delayed Muscle Soreness and The Excretion of Urine Metabolites and Creatinine, 3-Methylhistidine and Hydroxyproline
… Nine subjects (Group 1) performed nine weight lifting manuevers for the upper and lower body. Three sets of repetitions were performed at each of exercise, however, the exercises were done in a circuit thus allowing a 20 minute rest before an exercise was repeated. Eleven subjects (Group …
