What are the effects of resistance training on weight loss, muscles, and fat?
What will be an ideal response?
The American College of Sports Medicine (ACSM) notes that resistance training does not facilitate weight loss, but it does reduce health risk by increasing muscle mass and reducing fat mass. Thus, more fat is lost but more muscle mass is gained resulting in a stronger and healthier person who may experience no net weight loss. In addition, because even during rest muscle burns far more calories than fat, strength training can produce as much as a 15% greater metabolic rate making it easier to lose weight on dietary weight loss plans.
