The role calorie restriction vs. exercise and physical activity in weight loss and maintenance

Abstract
The role of Physical Activity (PA) and Exercise Training (ET) in theprevention of weight gain, initial weight loss, weight maintenance will be discussed. In particular, we will focus the discussion on the expected initial weight loss from different ET programs and explore intensity/volume relationships. Based on the present literature,unless the overall volume of aerobic ET is very high, clinically significant weight loss isunlikely to occur. Also, ET also has an important role in weight regain after initial weightloss. Overall, aerobic ET programs consistent with public health recommendations maypromote up to modest weight loss (~2 kg), however the weight loss on an individual level ishighly heterogeneous. Clinicians should educate their patients on reasonable expectationsof weight loss based on their physical activity program and emphasize that numeroushealth benefits occur from PA programs in the absence of weight loss. In addition, Girlene will discuss the importance of diet quality with nutrient dense foods as well as calorie restriction for successful weight loss and maintenance.
