Why the study?
Does aerobic exercise added to a hypocaloric diet improve reduction of the visceral adipose tissue depot in obese subjects?
Does aerobic exercise added to a hypocaloric diet improve reduction of the visceral adipose tissue depot in obese subjects?
Aerobic exercise does not provide additional reduction in visceral adipose tissue beyond the effects of a hypocaloric diet alone in obese subjects over 12 weeks.
Exercise adds no VAT benefit beyond hypocaloric diet; confirms diet as the dominant short-term intervention in obese adults.
Exercise has no additional effects in reduction of the VAT depot, compared with the major effects of hypocaloric diet alone. In addition, the effects of exercise per se on VAT are relatively limited. The effects on the VAT depot are closely associated with changes in total FM.
