Exercise Training in Obesity-Prone Black and White Women
Information source: National Institute of Diabetes and Digestive and Kidney Diseases (NIDDK)

Condition(s) targeted: Obesity
Intervention: Diet (Behavioral); Exercise (Behavioral)
Phase: N/A
Status: Completed
Sponsored by: National Institute of Diabetes and Digestive and Kidney Diseases (NIDDK)
Summary
Overweight premenopausal Black and White women are randomized to either diet-only,
diet+aerobic or diet+resistance exercise training. Diet/behavior intervention, with or
without the aerobic or resistance exercise training, will be provided throughout the 18
months of study. Major outcomes will include measures of perceived and physiologic
difficulty of exercise (cardiac, ventilatory, electromyographic responses to standardized
exercise tasks); aerobic fitness; strength fitness; and spontaneous free-living energy
expenditure (all derived from doubly labeled water). The results will provide insight into
the effectiveness of, and the mechanisms by which, different types of exercise training can
improve physical fitness, spontaneous engagement in physical activities of daily living and,
in turn, weight-loss maintenance.
