Effect of an 18-wk weight-training program on energy expenditure and physical activity. J. Appl. Physiol. 82(1): 298-304, 1997.-The purpose of this study was to examine the effect of an 18-wk weight-training program on average daily metabolic rate (ADMR). Before the intervention and in weeks 8 and 18 (T 0 , T 8 , and T 18 , respectively) data on body composition, sleeping metabolic rate (SMR), food intake, energy cost of the weight-training program (EE ex ), and nontraining physical activity
