Long-term exercise, weight loss and energy balance
This is a current project.
Description
This project seeks to investigate the effect of exercise on weight loss in men and women. In order to examine potential gender differences in the weight loss response to exercise, this project will compare equal energy expenditure of exercise for overweight men and women using levels of exercise energy expenditure that have previously been shown to prevent weight gain or promote weight loss. This project studies men and women in different exercise groups for five days per week for a period of ten months to measure the effect of various levels of exercise.
