“…"Strolling" and "brisk walking" resulted in significant improvements in V Ç O 2 max compared with a sedentary control group. Gossard et al 20 20 reported a 17% increase in V Ç O 2 max in a high intensity training group of male subjects (HR range 128-148; , 63%-81% of V Ç O 2 max), which was significantly greater than the 8% increase observed in a low intensity training group of male subjects (HR range 102-122; , 42%-60% of V Ç O 2 max). Possible reasons for these discordant findings include differences in training frequency and duration, weekly exercise energy expenditure, and training mode, as well as differences in monitoring the intensities of training.…”

“…[13][14][15][16] Traditional physical activity guidelines have tended to emphasize the importance of structured, vigorous exercise, 13,17 and such guidelines are supported by a large number of controlled exercise training studies that demonstrated that regular performance of continuous, vigorous exercise (e.g., jogging for 30-45 minutes 3 or more days per week) produces significant increases in maximal oxygen consumption (V Ç O 2 max). [18][19][20][21][22][23][24][25] More recent public health recommendations on physical activity, including that from the U.S. Surgeon General, 26 have endorsed daily participation in moderate intensity physical activity.…”

Among women, there is an increased prevalence of sedentary lifestyle and less participation in physical activity at levels recommended by the Surgeon General. As a result, women have been identified as a target group in public health initiatives to increase physical activity. The health-related benefits of habitual, moderate intensity physical activity are well documented in the epidemiological literature, but less is known about the effect of such physical activity on cardiorespiratory fitness. Our hypothesis was that moderate and vigorous exercise training regimens of similar estimated energy expenditure would result in similar changes in cardiorespiratory fitness. Eighteen sedentary premenopausal women with the following baseline characteristics [x w 6 SE]: maximal oxygen consumption (V Ç O 2 max) 5 29.5 6 1.5ml ? kg 2 1 ? min 2 1 ; age 5 33 6 1 years; height 5 162.6 6 0.9 cm; mass 5 62.7 6 2.3 kg, were randomly assigned to either vigorous (HI, 80% V Ç O 2 max, n 5 10) or moderate intensity (MOD, 40% V Ç O 2 max, n 5 8) cycle ergometer training groups. Exercise training was conducted 3-4 (3.37 6 0.05) days/week for 12 weeks in a supervised and progressive manner, with estimated exercise energy expenditure equated across both training groups. V Ç O 2 max and time to exhaustion increased significantly in both groups (p , 0.05), with no difference between groups. Both groups had lower (p , 0.05) posttraining submaximal heart rates (HR), respiratory exchange ratios (RER), and ratings of perceived exertion (RPE) during graded exercise testing, with no significant differences between the groups in posttraining values. Women participating in moderate intensity exercise training as recommended in basic public health guidelines demonstrate an increase in cardiorespiratory fitness similar to that elicited by vigorous training. 65

“…55 This technique is a feasible way of assessing the pattern and total level of energy expenditure in medium-sized epidemiological studies, 64 and has been used in high and low intensity exercise interventions. 65 Similarly, more objective assessment of food intake might be achieved by measuring relevant biomarkers. 66 Although most included studies had a randomised controlled design, they had short follow-up.…”

Interventions to prevent weight gain: a systematic review of psychological models and behaviour change methods

et al. 2000

OBJECTIVE: To identify and review published interventions aimed at the prevention of weight gain. DESIGN: A systematic review of published interventions aimed at the prevention of weight gain. METHODS: Search strategies Ð we searched eight databases, manually checked reference lists and contacted authors. Inclusion and exclusion criteria Ð studies of any design, in which participants were selected regardless of weight or age, were included. Interventions targeting a speci®c subgroup, multifactorial interventions, interventions aimed at weight loss, and those with an ambiguous aim were excluded. Data extraction Ð data were extracted on behaviours targeted for change, psychological model, behaviour change methods and modes of delivery, methodological quality, characteristics of participants, and outcomes related to body weight and self-reported diet and physical activity. Classification and validation Ð a taxonomy of behaviour change programmes was developed and used for classi®cation of underlying model, behaviour change methods, and modes of delivery. The data extraction and subsequent classi®cation were independently validated. RESULTS: Eleven publications were included, describing ®ve distinct interventions in schools and four in the wider community. Where diet and physical activity were described, positive effects were usually obtained, but all were measured by self-report. Effects on weight were mixed but follow-up was generally short. Smaller effects on weight gain were found among low-income participants, students and smokers. Many participants in the community-based studies were overweight or obese. Study dropout was higher among thinner and lower-income subjects. CONCLUSION: Interventions to prevent weight gain exhibited various degrees of effectiveness. De®nite statements about the elements of the interventions that were associated with increased effect size cannot be made as only one of the ®ve studies that involved an RCT design reported a signi®cant effect on weight. This intervention involved a correspondence programme and a mix of behaviour change methods including goal setting, self-monitoring and contingencies. Future interventions might be more effective if they were explicitly based on methods of behaviour change that have been shown to work in other contexts. Effective interventions would be more easily replicated if they were explicitly described. Effectiveness might be more precisely demonstrated if more objective measures of physical activity and diet were used, and if the follow-up was over a longer period.
