Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

The aim is to come to a consensus about how to prescribe exercise training that actually helps overweight and obese people. Thus, the present study determines the effects of several types of exercise training to define the one with the largest effect with the least effort.

Study Groups

Review each arm or cohort in the study, along with the interventions and objectives associated with them.

strength training

Over a 12-week period, 13 subjects performed three programmed exercise sessions per week; two supervised by the study investigators in the research laboratory and one performed at home or in a gym, according to instructions.

Group Type EXPERIMENTAL

Strength training

Intervention Type BEHAVIORAL

a strength training regime of 4 series with 5 repetitions each, at approximately 90% of 1 repetition maximum (RM), in a leg press apparatus to develop maximal strength mainly from neural adaptation with minimal weight gain due to muscular hypertrophy.

continuous moderate-intensity aerobic training

Over a 12-week period, 13 subjects performed three programmed exercise sessions per week; two supervised by the study investigators in the research laboratory and one performed at home or in a gym, according to instructions.

Group Type EXPERIMENTAL

continuous moderate-intensity aerobic training

Intervention Type BEHAVIORAL

The moderate-intensity group walked continuously for 47 min at 60-70% of maximum heart rate (HRmax) to ensure that the training protocols were isocaloric.

high-intensity interval aerobic training

Over a 12-week period, 14 subjects performed three programmed exercise sessions per week; two supervised by the study investigators in the research laboratory and one performed at home or in a gym, according to instructions.

Group Type EXPERIMENTAL

high-intensity interval aerobic training

Intervention Type BEHAVIORAL

High-intensity training consisted of a 10 min warm-up period at 50-60% of HRmax \[maximal HR (heart rate)\], followed by 4×4-min intervals at 85-95% of HRmax with 3 min active breaks in between the intervals, consisting of walking or jogging at 50-60% of HRmax. The exercise session was terminated by a 5 min cool-down period.
