Exercise-induced Changes in Central Adiposity During an RCT: Effect of Exercise Dose and Associations With Compensation.

ABSTRACT:

Context

Exercise can decrease central adiposity, but the effect of exercise dose and the relationship between central adiposity and exercise-induced compensation is unclear.

Objective

Test the effect of exercise dose on central adiposity change and the association between central adiposity and exercise-induced weight compensation.

Methods

In this ancillary analysis of a 6-month randomized controlled trial, 170 participants with overweight or obesity (mean ± SD body mass index: 31.5 ± 4.7 kg/m2) were randomized to a control group or exercise groups that reflected exercise recommendations for health (8 kcal/kg/week [KKW]) or weight loss and weight maintenance (20 KKW). Waist circumference was measured, and dual-energy X-ray absorptiometry assessed central adiposity. Pre
