TY - JOUR AU - Swisher, Mason AB - This study examined the relationship between work done and caloric cost during the parallel back squat. While much data are available on caloric and oxygen costs of jogging, cycling, and other physical activities, relatively little is known about the caloric cost of specific weight training exercises. Subjects were 25 women experienced in squatting through formal weight training classes or athletic conditioning workouts. Oxygen consumption was measured by standard open-circuit spirometry; nonprotein RER was used to determine caloric expenditure. External work done was calculated as weight × repetitions × vertical distance traversed by the bar. The latter was determined by analyzing videotaped exercise sessions.
