The order of resistance and aerobic exercise impacts postexercise oxygen consumption (EPOC). Performing aerobic exercise before resistance training maximizes EPOC and exercise efficiency.

Area of Science:

  • Exercise Physiology
  • Metabolic Adaptations

Background:

  • Excess postexercise oxygen consumption (EPOC) quantifies the metabolic impact of prior physical exertion.
  • Understanding EPOC is crucial for optimizing exercise programming and energy expenditure.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To investigate the influence of exercise sequencing (resistance-run vs. run-resistance) on EPOC.
  • To determine the physiological demands of treadmill exercise following different exercise orders.

Main Methods:

  • Ten male participants completed four conditions: Resistance Only, Run Only, Resistance-Run, and Run-Resistance.
  • Oxygen consumption (Vo2) was measured during treadmill exercise and at intervals post-exercise.
  • Resistance exercise involved 7 lifts, and running consisted of 25 minutes of treadmill work.

Main Results:

  • Treadmill exercise Vo2 was significantly higher in the Resistance-Run condition compared to Run-Resistance and Resistance Only.
  • EPOC was greatest following the Run-Resistance condition.
  • Treadmill exercise demonstrated greater physiological difficulty when performed after resistance exercise.

Conclusions:

  • The sequence of resistance and aerobic exercise significantly affects EPOC.
  • Resistance exercise exerts a primary influence on EPOC, irrespective of the combination.
  • Performing aerobic exercise prior to resistance exercise is recommended for enhanced EPOC and exercise efficiency.
