Metabolic data and RPE during resistance exercise session

	RE → M	NoRE-1	M → RE	NoRE-2
Duration, min	46 ± 1	46 ± 1	47 ± 1	47 ± 1
Oxygen consumption, ml·kg−1·min−1	6.1 ± 0.4	2.9 ± 0.1*	6.0 ± 0.3	2.9 ± 0.1*
Energy expenditure, gross kJ	586 ± 59	264 ± 13*	590 ± 59	276 ± 21*
Respiratory exchange ratio	1.00 ± 0.01	0.83 ± 0.01*	1.00 ± 0.01	0.87 ± 0.01*†
Heart rate, beats/min	106 ± 4		110 ± 4‡
Average RPE, Borg 6–20 scale	12 ± 1		12 ± 1

Values are means ± SE. For duration, oxygen consumption, energy expenditure, respiratory exchange ratio, and heart rate, only data for n = 12 are reported. For ratings of perceived exertion (RPE), data for n = 13 are reported. RE → M, resistance exercise performed before dinner consumption; M → RE, dinner consumption before resistance exercise; NoRE, no resistance exercise. The data under NoRE-1 is during the same time frame (i.e., before dinner) as RE → M but during the NoRE trial, whereas the data under NoRE-2 is during the same time frame (i.e., after dinner) as M → RE but during the NoRE trial.

^*P < 0.05 compared with RE → M or M → RE.

^‡P < 0.05 compared with heart rate during the RE → M trial.

^†P < 0.05 compared with NoRE-1.
