Key result
Weight loss through a hypocaloric diet with or without exercise training significantly decreased resting muscle sympathetic nerve activity and improved muscle metaboreflex control in obese women.
Why the study?
Does weight loss via hypocaloric diet with or without exercise improve neurovascular and muscle metaboreflex control in normotensive obese women?
Population
59 normotensive obese women (n=24 in diet group, n=25 in diet+exercise group, n=10 in nonadherent group)
Comparison
Hypocaloric diet alone or hypocaloric diet… vs Nonadherent group matched by age and body mass…
Design
Cohort

May improve metaboreflex control with added training in obese women; hypothesis-generating, larger trials needed before clinical adoption.

Weight loss through diet and exercise improves muscle metaboreflex control and increases forearm vascular conductance in obese women.
Trombetta et al. (2003) conducted a cohort in Obesity (n=59). Hypocaloric diet with or without exercise training vs. Nonadherent group was evaluated on Muscle metaboreflex control, muscle sympathetic nerve activity (MSNA), blood pressure, and forearm blood flow. Weight loss through a hypocaloric diet with or without exercise training significantly decreased resting muscle sympathetic nerve activity and improved muscle metaboreflex control in obese women.
