Effects of Increased Muscle Mass on Resting Metabolic Rate
Not Applicable
Completed
- Conditions
- Healthy Subjects
- Interventions
- Procedure: Isometric exercise
- Registration Number
- NCT01325038
- Lead Sponsor
- University Hospital, Linkoeping
- Brief 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.
