Measure
Supervised (SUP-PA)
Weight loss intervention that focuses on supervised physical activity and involves an energy restricted diet. Physical activity will be supervised by trained staff. Supervised (SUP-PA): Weight loss intervention that involves an energy restricted diet plus the inclusion of 150 minutes per week of supervised moderate-to-vigorous intensity physical activity.
Unsupervised (UNSUP-PA)
Weight loss intervention that focuses on unsupervised physical activity (identical dose to SUP-PA) and involves an energy restricted diet (identical diet to SUP-PA). Physical activity will be self-monitored but no activity tracker will be used as an intervention tool. Unsupervised (UNSUP-PA): Weight loss intervention that involves an energy restricted diet plus the inclusion of 150 minutes per week of unsupervised moderate-to-vigorous intensity physical activity.
Step-based (STEP)
Weight loss intervention that focuses on unsupervised physical activity prescribed as steps/day and involves an energy restricted diet (identical diet to SUP-PA and UNSUP-PA). Physical activity will be self-monitored and a pedometer will be used to track steps/day. Step-based (STEP): Weight loss intervention that involves an energy restricted diet plus the inclusion of physical activity in the form of 10,000 steps/day with 2,500 "brisk" steps/day.

SECONDARY outcome

Timeframe: Baseline (0 weeks),12 Weeks

Measured using a submaximal graded exercise test on a treadmill, with termination occurring at 85% of age-predicted maximal heart rate (computed at \[220-age\]\*0.85\]). The outcome was measures as oxygen consumption (ml/kg/min) at the point of test termination.
