Reasons for weight gain after strength training

Because the intake after exercise is too large, a positive energy balance occurs, so the weight increases. The fundamental reason for weight gain is that the energy intake is greater than the energy consumption.

1. Positive and negative energy balance: When the energy consumption is greater than the food intake, it is a negative energy balance, and the weight is reduced; when the energy consumption is less than the food intake, it is a positive energy balance, and the weight is increased.

2. The relationship between exercise and weight: Just as the positive and negative energy balance explained above, weight is not only related to exercise, but also to daily food intake. Even if you exercise hard every day, if you cannot control your daily diet, your weight will only increase and not decrease. Moreover, after a long period of physical exercise, the body's excitement for food intake will increase, and the human body will consume more food at this time.

In order to truly achieve weight loss, a scientific and effective physical exercise and diet control plan should be formulated. As for the part about physical exercise, relevant studies have shown that compared with intense strength training, intense aerobic exercise consumes more energy in the same period of time, which can reduce weight more effectively.

The human body is an extremely complex organization. It is not possible to perfectly control body weight simply by controlling input and output, because changes in body weight are also related to many factors, such as catecholamine levels and glucocorticoid levels.
