Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Building strength during exercise does not directly affect metabolic rate. However, it indirectly affects metabolic rate by increasing muscle mass, which in turn increases resting metabolic rate. Increasing muscle mass and burning calories during exercise both directly affect metabolic rate, while increasing resting metabolic rate is a result of both of these factors.
