The Claim
In obese men, an 8-week combination of resistance exercise training and alternate-day calorie restriction results in greater increases in circulating levels of adipsin and soluble epidermal growth factor receptor (sEGFR) than resistance exercise training alone or alternate-day calorie restriction alone.
What the research says
Supports is higher
Support is ahead, but a single strong opposing study can change this.
These are independent scores, not a percentage. Higher-grade studies count more, so a single strong opposing study can outweigh several weaker ones.
In obese men, combining 8 weeks of strength training with alternate-day fasting increases blood levels of adipsin and sEGFR more than either approach by itself.
See the scientific wording
In obese men, an 8-week combination of resistance exercise training and alternate-day calorie restriction leads to greater improvements in circulating levels of adipsin and soluble epidermal growth factor receptor (sEGFR) compared to either intervention alone.
When obese men do strength training and skip calories every other day, their fat tissue shrinks and releases more adipsin, while the skin-like layer around cells sheds more of its receptor, increasing its presence in the blood.
What the research says
1 studyIn obese men, doing both weight training and skipping calories every other day worked better than doing just one of those things alone — it improved two important blood markers more than either method by itself.
