PURPOSE: To determine the extent to which metabolic variables such as VO2(ml/kg/min), percentage of energy derived from carbohydrates (%CHO) and heart rate (HR) as well as blood glucose and lactate vary between resistance workouts comprised of solely eccentric, concentric or traditional muscle contractions. METHODS: N=12 men and women completed a traditional (TRAD), concentric (CONC), and eccentric (ECC) full-body resistance workout at 65% of a measured 1 repetition max with each condition matched for work. During each condition, the subject was fitted to a metabolic cart and metabolic variables were recorded through indirect calorimetry and heart rate monitor. Blood glucose and blood lactate were taken at five different stages. RESULTS: Both the TRAD and CONC conditions resulted in significantly (p < 0.001, and p < 0.001 respectively) greater VO2 values when compared to the ECC condition. Accumulation of lactate Post Ex. was also significantly (both p < 0.001) greater in the TRAD and CONC compared to the ECC. CONCLUSION: Results indicate a much greater metabolic demand from concentric and traditional contractions compared to eccentric muscle contractions on a whole body level.
