CONCLUSIONS<br />
Intensity of exercise<br />
(>50%) affects<br />
magnitude and duration<br />
of EPOC. Duration of<br />
exercise only affects<br />
duration of EPOC<br />
Exercise duration<br />
significantly affects<br />
EPOC<br />
Duration of exercise<br />
has a greater effect on<br />
EPOC than intensity<br />
The magnitude of<br />
EPOC was greater after<br />
high-intensity exercise<br />
compared to isocaloric<br />
moderate or low-<br />
intensity exercise<br />
Large inter-individual<br />
variation, no significant<br />
differences between the<br />
two resistance training<br />
protocols
