Exercise training and weight loss, not always a happy marriage: single blind exercise trials in females with diverse BMI

Abstract

23Individuals show high variability in body weight responses to exercise training. Expectations and 24 motivation towards effects of exercise on body weight might influence eating behaviour and could 25

Effects of Resistance Circuit-Based Training on Body Composition, Strength and Cardiorespiratory Fitness: A Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis

“…Of these, 799 abstracts and titles were reviewed, 726 articles were deleted, and 73 full-text articles were assessed for eligibility. Finally, 45 studies [ 10 , 11 , 12 , 19 , 20 , 21 , 22 , 23 , 24 , 25 , 26 , 27 , 28 , 38 , 39 , 40 , 41 , 42 , 43 , 44 , 45 , 46 , 47 , 48 , 49 , 50 , 51 , 52 , 53 , 54 , 55 , 56 , 57 , 58 , 59 , 60 , 61 , 62 , 63 , 64 , 65 , 66 , 67 , 68 , 69 ] met the inclusion and exclusion criteria, including 58 experimental groups ( n = 897 participants) and 34 control groups ( n = 474 participants) ( Figure 1 ).…”

Moderate intensity exercise training combined with inulin-propionate ester supplementation increases whole body resting fat oxidation in overweight women

“…This single blinded randomised parallel study was conducted on healthy overweight females with BMI >25 kg/m 2…”

“…Increasing exercise is important in obesity reduction strategies, inducing negative energy balance driven by increasing energy expenditure [1]. However, the effectiveness of exercise induced weight loss in the absence of caloric restriction remains controversial and is highly individual [2][3][4][5]. In healthy overweight women, who participated in 7 week-endurance-type exercise programme and achieved variable changes in fat mass and fat oxidation, energy expenditure and the change in resting fat oxidation were the only statistically significant independent predictors of change in fat mass [6].…”

Melatonin supplementation in the management of obesity and obesity-associated disorders: A review of physiological mechanisms and clinical applications

“…For example, Franz et al [143] in their meta-analysis found an average of 5% to 9% weight loss during the first 6 months of interventions based on low calorie diets, combined or not with orlistat or sibutramine, but the weight losses observed tended to plateau after 6 months, and in several instances were not maintained. Additionally, although paramount for improvement in body composition and overall health, various research groups have independently found very similar results: physical activity only has very little effect on BMI [144,145]. The overall consensus amongst practitioners is that the triad physical activity + dietary improvement + weight loss medication is much more effective than any of these strategies alone for long term, maintained weight loss.…”
