The aim of this study was to examine the impact of a 33-week program, which included two weekly intensive running sessions, on aerobic capacity, BMI, waist circumference and body composition in overweight and obese, inactive adults. An additional aim was to examine the additional impact of lifestyle modification education. Twenty-four participants...

The aims of this study are to i) examine a clustered metabolic syndrome composite score (MetScore) and fatness among college students across body mass index (BMI) categories, and ii) determine whether fit individuals have lower MetScores, fewer individual metabolic syndrome components, and lower fatness than unfit individuals across BMI categories....
Background
Cardiac rehabilitation improves prognosis and symptoms in cardiac patients. In 2020, due to the COVID-19 pandemic, cardiac rehabilitation services were temporarily suspended between April and August. We aimed to investigate the effect of cardiac rehabilitation suspension during the COVID-19 pandemic on patients’ exercise capacity and met...
Background: Obesity and anemia are among most common non-communicable diseases not only in India but around the world. These conditions are observed together more among females. Obesity being a risk factor for various lifestyle disease, is hypothesized to affect iron absorption and hence level of hemoglobin. Objectives: To find the prevalence of ob...
Background:
Sarcopenic obesity, a combination of sarcopenia and obesity, is a pathological feature of type 2 diabetes. Several human studies have shown that milk is useful in the prevention of sarcopenia. This study was aimed at clarifying the effect of milk on the prevention of sarcopenic obesity in db/db mice.

Predictors of overall epicardial adipose tissue deposition have been found to vary between males and females. Whether similar sex differences exist in epicardial fat cell morphology is currently unknown. This study aimed to determine whether epicardial fat cell size is associated with different clinical measurements in males and females. Fat cell s...

... Most of the participants still exercised regularly 1YA, implying that it might be easier to achieve a healthier diet. This was also supported by the interviews, where participants in this project reported better physical shape compared to baseline, results that were also documented by running time and weight measurements [26][27][28]. ...
... According to Taylor et al. [46], engaging males in nutrition programs may require different approaches than for women and require foodbased guidelines, and the information presented must be clear, concise, and provided in an engaging and enjoyable way. Male participants also mentioned "body" as important, probably of importance as an external factor, but also because they had been made aware of their visceral fat result [26,28]. Interviewed participants started to read cookery books and used less processed food in their everyday diet. ...
The aims of this study were to examine (1) effects of nutritional guidance and physical activity on dietary habits among overweight and obese after an intervention and one year after follow-up (quantitative study) and (2) barriers and motivators for changes in diet and physical activity (qualitative study). A total of 98 participants with a mean age of 46.8 ± 10.2 years were included and divided into a Training Group (TG) (n = 51) or a Nutritional Guidance and Training Group (NTG) (n = 47). At baseline, after 33 weeks, and one year after the intervention, participants answered a questionnaire. Interviews gave data to elicit motivations and challenges related to diet and exercise. A GLM repeated measures analysis was used to investigate differences and interactions between factors. Participants ate healthier after starting to exercise. After 33 weeks, the NTG ate significantly more vegetables (p = 0.026) and legumes (p < 0.01) than the TG. No significant differences were found one year after follow-up. General health was the most important motivator for changing diet and exercise. Barriers to changing diet were related to work, family, meal size, and participants’ internal decisions to change habits. Barriers to exercise were holidays and time constraints. Planning purchases and regular exercise were important factors to achieve and maintain weight loss.
... This study is a follow-up of the study "Aerobic training combined with nutritional guidance as an effective strategy for improving aerobic fitness and reducing BMI in inactive adults" by Helland, Nordbotten, Hagum and Tjelta [17]. ...
... According to Miller et al. [25], restricted energy intake without exercise results in a more consistent weight loss compared to exercise training alone. The majority of participants who take part in a lifestyle intervention program achieve an 8-10% weight reduction after 6-12 months [14,17]. Most individuals regain some of this weight after finishing the intervention but have on average 3-6% lower body weight after two years, compared to before the intervention [9,35]. ...
... The objectives of the present study were to: 1) investigate to what extent participants in the lifestyle program described by Helland et al. [17] maintained their aerobic capacity (assessed via a 3000 m running test) and health parameters (BMI, visceral fat, body fat percentage) one year after the end of the project; and 2) identify common determinants for those participants who succeeded in weight loss maintenance versus those who failed. ...
The aims of this study were to: 1) investigate to what extent participants in a lifestyle intervention program, including nutritional guidance and two weekly intensive running sessions, maintain improvements in aerobic capacity and health parameters one year after the end of an intervention; and 2) identify common determinants for those participants who succeeded in weight loss maintenance. A total of 51 participants completed the 33-week intervention. One year after the end of the intervention period (1YA) 34 participants completed anthropometric measurements, 12 (8 women) in the training group (TG) and 22 (13 women) in the nutritional guidance and training group (NTG). A total of 13 participants (9 women) in the TG and 11 participants (7 women) in the NTG completed a 3000 m running test. There were no significant differences in body mass index, 3000 m running time or waist circumference between the groups 1YA. There was however, substantial variation in both groups as to what extent participants had maintained their weight loss. Higher self-efficacy and self-control in relation to food and exercise characterized those who best maintained their weight loss.
