The resting metabolic rate debate
Description
Many individuals believe that strength training adds muscle mass, thereby increasing their resting metabolic rate, so they burn more calories all day, which helps them lose weight. While scientific research has documented that metabolic rate is acutely elevated after a workout, it's not as certain that resting metabolic rate is chronically increased. The Resting Metabolic Rate Debate reviews the research on the effects of aerobic exercise and strength training on resting metabolic rate and details the scientific ""truth"" about this complex issue.
