Effects of walking with hand-held weights on energy expenditure and excess postexercise oxygen consumption.

摘要: Walking is not only important to assist in performing daily tasks, but also gain cardiovascular benefits. Further research on walking needed examine the physiological responses improve health and reduce risks of disease. The purpose this study was compare energy expenditure (EE) during after exercise with versus without hand-held weights (HHW). Nineteen sedentary women (mean±standard deviation; age, 21±2.7 years, height, 163.1±6.3 cm; body mass, 66.6± 15.1 kg; fat %, 30.6%± 7.43%; mass index, 25.5± 5.7 kg/m2) volunteered 1.36 kg HHW two randomized sessions. consisted 30 min followed b silent sitting for min. range motion set at elbow flexion 90° while arms were alternated 30.48 cm forward backward. 1% incline treadmill grade speed controlled a moderate level 40%-59% heart rate reserve. During 30-min no significant differences found between conditions (P> 0.05). significantly greater directly compared baseline as determined from pairwise comparisons collapsed across (P≤ substantial enough raise EE beyond normal led an increased effort level. Additionally, intensity sustain surpassing exercise.
