Effects of moderate-intensity combination exercise on increase adiponectin levels, muscle mass, and decrease fat mass in obese women

Randomized Controlled Trial

Human

This study found that obese young women who did moderate exercise for four weeks lost weight and had a lower BMI, while those who didn’t exercise gained a little weight. So yes, the exercise helped.

For obese women between 20 and 45 years old, losing weight through a low-calorie diet combined with aerobic and strength training reduces overall weight and waist size, but does not lead to different final BMI outcomes depending on whether weight is lost quickly, moderately, or slowly.
