Abstrakt: The metabolic cost of circuit weight training was determined in a group of 20 men and 20 women, 17 to 36 years of age, who volunteered to participate in this study. Performing 3 circuits 10 stationscircuit, using a work 30sec to rest 15sec ratio of 21, and a total exercise time of 22.5 min, the energy expenditure was found to be highly related to body weight r 0.84 and r 0.67 for men and women respectively. The average gross energy expenditure was 539.7 and 367.5 kcalhr. 9.0 and 6.1 kcalmin for the men and women respectively, but was 7.0 and 6.0 kcalkg•hr when expressed relative to body weight, and 8.1 and 8.2 kcalkg LBW•min when expressed relative to lean body weight. Thus, when body composition was considered, there were essentially no differences in the energy expenditure for males and females.
