Average RT energy expenditure measured by RT3 accelerometer and $\stackrel{.}{\mathrm{V}}{\mathrm{O}}_2$ metabolic cart, compared with values reported by other studies. Values are means ± SD. RT energy expenditure measurements from other studies were adjusted to account for differences in RT routine (for example, if a particular study entailed six exercises per circuit rather than eight as in our study, we multiplied the RT energy expenditure estimate by 4/3 to normalize for the number of exercises per circuit).
