The effect of 8 weeks of resistance training with pomegranate extract on resting metabolic rate, hypertrophy and muscle strength of inactive male students
The aim of this study was to investigate the effect of 8 weeks of resistance training with pomegranate extract on resting metabolic rate, hypertrophy and muscle strength of inactive male students.
Design
42 inactive boys were selected voluntarily and randomly divided into four groups: resistance training (n = 11), resistance training with pomegranate extract (n = 11), pomegranate extract (n = 10) and control (n = 10).
Settings and conduct
Exercises were performed in the gym of Mohaghegh Ardabili University by an experienced instructor. Subjects' measurements were performed before and after 8 weeks of resistance training.
Participants/Inclusion and exclusion criteria
Subjects are inactive untrained men who have no cardiovascular or musculoskeletal disease.
Intervention groups
Resistance training program for 8 weeks, 3 sessions per week and will include 2 movements for the upper body (barbell chest press and barbell shoulder press) and 2 movements for the lower body (front leg and machine leg press). The subjects of the resistance training group + pomegranate extract (half an hour before training) and the pomegranate extract group will consume 100 ml of pomegranate extract 3 times a week.
Main outcome variables
Muscle hypertrophy, Resting metabolism, Body fat percentage and Muscle strength

Randomization (investigator's opinion)
Randomized
Randomization description
The random number table will be used for simple randomization to assign subjects to the group. To use random number tables, the researcher must first determine direction for reading numbers in table (for example , up, down, left or right). The second step for researcher is considering numbers for different groups (eg, even numbers for intervention A and odd numbers for intervention B). The researcher then selects one number and assigning them to different groups.
