Energy Expenditure & Activity During & After Exercise-Induced Weight Loss

NCT00622310 · Status: COMPLETED · Phase: NA · Type: INTERVENTIONAL · Enrollment: 30

No results posted yet for this study

Summary

This project is aimed at determining whether an exercise-based weight loss intervention causes a compensation in some component of energy expenditure such that the increase in measured energy expenditure is less than the added exercise. The study will compare two separate exercise interventions to determine if this is influenced by exercise intensity.

Conditions

Interventions

BEHAVIORAL

Walking exercise

Subjects will be randomly assigned to either a structured, vigorous-intensity endurance exercise training program or an intermittent, low-intensity exercise program. Individualized exercise prescriptions will be designed to target an increase of 2500 kcal/wk, and the theoretical weight loss will be approximately 15 pounds (\~6.8 kg) during the 6 month intervention.
