Exercise Training in Obesity-prone Black and White Women
| Status: | Completed |
|---|---|
| Conditions: | Obesity Weight Loss |
| Therapuetic Areas: | Endocrinology |
| Healthy: | No |

Overweight premenopausal Black and White women are randomized to either diet-only,
diet+aerobic or diet+resistance exercise training. Diet/behavior intervention, with or
without the aerobic or resistance exercise training, will be provided throughout the 18
months of study. Major outcomes will include measures of perceived and physiologic difficulty
of exercise (cardiac, ventilatory, electromyographic responses to standardized exercise
tasks); aerobic fitness; strength fitness; and spontaneous free-living energy expenditure
(all derived from doubly labeled water). The results will provide insight into the
effectiveness of, and the mechanisms by which, different types of exercise training can
improve physical fitness, spontaneous engagement in physical activities of daily living and,
in turn, weight-loss maintenance.

Time of initial weight loss was defined as the time needed to reach the goal of 25 kg/m2 BMI.
The women will then be evaluated one year after this time and the amount of weight gain will
be determined.
