Determining the amount of physical activity needed for long-term weight control

Abstract: OBJECTIVE:To evaluate prospectively the in¯uence of habitual physical activity on body weight of men and women and to develop a model that de®nes the role of physical activity on longitudinal weight change. DESIGN AND SETTING: Occupational cohort study conducted for a mean of 5.5 y. SUBJECTS: A total of 496 (341 male and 155 female) NASAaJohnson Space Center employees who completed the 3 month education component of the employee health-related ®tness program and remained involved for a minimum of 2 y.

“…Post hoc analysis with Fisher's PLSD at 7.5 hours post-dose showed that recovery after heavy exercise remained lower than after rest (p Ͻ 0.05). The [d 3 ]acetate values could not be extrapolated to infinity because of the minimal datacollection time points, but could be corrected for an assumed water turnover of 3% (98.1%, 94.0%, 93.2%, and 88.3%, for rest, light, moderate, and heavy, respectively).…”

“…Although the primary treatment for obesity historically has been caloric restriction, a more promising treatment may consist of increased physical activity in addition to controlling energy intake. Physical exercise rapidly increases energy expenditure and has been associated with improved weight control (Brook et al, 1995;King et al, 2001;Wier et al, 2001). Exercise also causes a preferential utilization of fat, resulting in less fat in active individuals compared with sedentary controls.…”

“…17 The 2 H was measured in urinary water samples collected every 4 h while in the chamber, as previously described and validated for measurement of fatty acid oxidation. 18 After being decolorized with carbon black, urine samples were analyzed for deuterium content as a ratio of 2 19 For the measurement of 18 O, 1 ml of urine was equilibrated with CO 2 at 251C for 48 h. The 18 O concentration was measured by continuous flow IRMS and the body water was calculated by dilution. 20,21 Urinary nitrogen concentration was determined using the Antek 9000N Chemiluminescent Nitrogen analyzer (Antek Instruments, Inc., Houston, TX, USA).…”

“…For example, a recent cross-sectional study has found that individuals with higher daily levels of physical activity were leaner than their sedentary counterparts, 1 and a prospective study demonstrated that baseline activity levels were associated with lower body weights after B5 y at follow-up. 2 Furthermore, exercise has been shown to have a protective effect against weight regain in several populations of post-obese women such that those women with a physical activity level of greater than 1.75 are more successful in weight maintenance over a one year period than women who are more sedentary. 3 The mechanism for this effect is not entirely clear, but may be related to the effects of exercise on fat metabolism.…”
