Effect of Two Exercise Programs on Obese Patients

October 24, 2019 updated by: Adarsh Gupta, DO, MS, FACOFP, Rowan University

Effect of HIIT vs Low Intensity Training on Fat Loss in Obese Patients

The purpose of the study is to compare the effectiveness of two exercise programs (High Intensity Interval Training/HIIT and Low Intensity (LIT) Long Duration training) on decreasing fat mass and preserving lean body mass in obese patients. What the investigators are proposing is that HIIT is less effective because it will most likely decrease lean body mass in obese patients, whereas LIT decreases fat mass and conserves lean body tissue.
