Overview

Prioritize aerobic exercise to reduce visceral fat in overweight adults; confirms AEx efficacy but not PRT alone.

Structured PICO

Does aerobic exercise or progressive resistance training reduce visceral adipose tissue in overweight and obese adults?

P
Population
Overweight and obese adults (35 RCTs included)
I
Intervention
Aerobic exercise (AEx) or progressive resistance training (PRT) in isolation or combination for 4 weeks or more
C
Comparator
Control group or direct comparison between AEx and PRT
O
Outcome
Visceral adipose tissue (VAT) content/volume quantified by CT or MRI pre- and post-interventionsurrogate

Aerobic exercise is effective for reducing visceral adipose tissue in overweight and obese adults, whereas progressive resistance training alone is not.
