Reduction in Cardiovascular Risk Factors and Visceral Adipose Tissue in Men: Separate Effects of Diet- and Exercise-Induced Weight Loss

April 22, 2008 updated by: Queen's University
The purpose of the trial was to examine the independent effects of equivalent diet- or exercise-induced weight loss on obesity and related cardiovascular health risk factors. We hypothesized that exercise would result in greater reductions in obesity and health risk factors that equivalent diet (caloric restriction).
