Strength
training improves fat loss not only by improving your resting metabolic rate (because slight increases
in muscle mass will burn more calories than if that
muscle were fat) and through a mechanism called excess post-exercise oxygen consumption (EPOC), which basically means that your body will continue to burn calories after your workout Though many distance runners may not be terribly concerned about fat loss specifically, they will nevertheless be heartened to know that any slight
muscle mass gains from weight
training will be balanced by a loss of fat, and fat certainly does not make ANYBODY faster.

muscle mass and strength
gains during 12 wk of resistance - type exercise
training.

muscle mass and strength
gains during prolonged resistance - type exercise
training in healthy, young men.
Although some studies report greater
gains in muscle mass,
muscle fiber size, and / or
muscle strength after dietary protein supplementation during prolonged resistance - type exercise
training (8 — 16), others have failed to confirm such findings (17 — 24).
The observed
gains in muscle mass are
in line with previous findings reported after 8 — 16 wk of resistance - type exercise
training in healthy young men (25).
We hypothesized that dietary protein supplementation provided before sleep will further augment the
gains in muscle mass, strength, and
muscle fiber size during more prolonged resistance - type exercise
training in healthy young men.

training frequency and you will soon begin to make
