Effects of aerobic versus resistance exercise without caloric restriction on abdominal fat, intrahepatic lipid, and insulin sensitivity in obese adolescent boys: a randomized, controlled trial.

ABSTRACT: The optimal exercise modality for reductions of abdominal obesity and risk factors for type 2 diabetes in youth is unknown. We examined the effects of aerobic exercise (AE) versus resistance exercise (RE) without caloric restriction on abdominal adiposity, ectopic fat, and insulin sensitivity and secretion in youth. Forty-five obese adolescent boys were randomly assigned to one of three 3-month interventions: AE, RE, or a nonexercising control. Abdominal fat was assessed by magnetic resonance imaging, and intrahepatic lipid and intramyocellular lipid were assessed by proton magnetic resonance spectroscopy. Insulin sensitivity and secretion were evaluated by a 3-h hyperinsulinemic-euglycemic clamp and a 2-h hyperglycemic clamp. Both AE and RE prevented the significant weight gain that was observed in controls. Compared with controls, significant reductions in total and visceral fat and intrahepatic lipid were observed in both exercise groups. Compared with controls, a significant improvement in insulin sensitivity (27%) was observed in the RE group. Collapsed across groups, changes in visceral fat were associated with changes in intrahepatic lipid (r = 0.72) and insulin sensitivity (r = -0.47). Both AE and RE alone are effective for reducing abdominal fat and intrahepatic lipid in obese adolescent boys. RE but not AE is also associated with significant improvements in insulin sensitivity.

Project description:BackgroundWe have shown that combined caloric restriction (CR) and aerobic exercise training (AT) improve peak exercise O2 consumption (VO2peak), and quality-of-life in older patients with obese heart failure with preserved ejection fraction. However, ≈35% of weight lost during CR+AT was skeletal muscle mass. We examined whether addition of resistance training (RT) to CR+AT would reduce skeletal muscle loss and further improve outcomes.MethodsThis study is a randomized, controlled, single-blind, 20-week trial of RT+CR+AT versus CR+AT in 88 patients with chronic heart failure with preserved ejection fraction and body mass index (BMI) ≥28 kg/m2. Outcomes at 20 weeks included the primary outcome (VO2peak); MRI and dual X-ray absorptiometry; leg muscle strength and quality (leg strength ÷ leg skeletal muscle area); and Kansas City Cardiomyopathy Questionnaire.ResultsSeventy-seven participants completed the trial. RT+CR+AT and CR+AT produced nonsignificant differences in weight loss: mean (95% CI): -8 (-9, -7) versus -9 (-11, -8; P=0.21). RT+CR+AT and CR+AT had non-significantly differences in the reduction of body fat [-6.5 (-7.2, -5.8) versus -7.4 (-8.1, -6.7) kg] and skeletal muscle [-2.1 (-2.7, -1.5) versus -2.1 (-2.7, -1.4) kg] (P=0.20 and 0.23, respectively). RT+CR+AT produced significantly greater increases in leg muscle strength [4.9 (0.7, 9.0) versus -1.1 (-5.5, 3.2) Nm, P=0.05] and leg muscle quality [0.07 (0.03, 0.11) versus 0.02 (-0.02, 0.06) Nm/cm2, P=0.04]. Both RT+CR+AT and CR+AT produced significant improvements in VO2peak [108 (958, 157) versus 80 (30, 130) mL/min; P=0.001 and 0.002, respectively], and Kansas City Cardiomyopathy Questionnaire score [17 (12, 22) versus 23 (17, 28); P=0.001 for both], with no significant between-group differences. Both RT+CR+AT and CR+AT significantly reduced LV mass and arterial stiffness. There were no study-related serious adverse events.ConclusionsIn older obese heart failure with preserved ejection fraction patients, CR+AT produces large improvements in VO2peak and quality-of-life. Adding RT to CR+AT increased leg strength and muscle quality without attenuating skeletal muscle loss or further increasing VO2peak or quality-of-life.RegistrationURL: https://ClincalTrials.gov; Unique identifier: NCT02636439.

Project description:BackgroundExercise intensity may affect the selective loss of abdominal adipose tissue.ObjectiveThis study showed whether aerobic exercise intensity affects the loss of abdominal fat and improvement in cardiovascular disease risk factors under conditions of equal energy deficit in women with abdominal obesity.DesignThis was a randomized trial in 112 overweight and obese [body mass index (in kg/m(2)): 25-40; waist circumference >88 cm], postmenopausal women assigned to one of three 20-wk interventions of equal energy deficit: calorie restriction (CR only), CR plus moderate-intensity aerobic exercise (CR + moderate-intensity), or CR plus vigorous-intensity exercise (CR + vigorous-intensity). The diet was a controlled program of underfeeding during which meals were provided at individual calorie levels (approximately 400 kcal/d). Exercise (3 d/wk) involved treadmill walking at an intensity of 45-50% (moderate-intensity) or 70-75% (vigorous-intensity) of heart rate reserve. The primary outcome was abdominal visceral fat volume.ResultsAverage weight loss for the 95 women who completed the study was 12.1 kg (+/-4.5 kg) and was not significantly different across groups. Maximal oxygen uptake ( O(2)max) increased more in the CR + vigorous-intensity group than in either of the other groups (P < 0.05). The CR-only group lost relatively more lean mass than did either exercise group (P < 0.05). All groups showed similar decreases in abdominal visceral fat (approximately 25%; P < 0.001 for all). However, changes in visceral fat were inversely related to increases in O(2)max (P < 0.01). Changes in lipids, fasting glucose or insulin, and 2-h glucose and insulin areas during the oral-glucose-tolerance test were similar across treatment groups.ConclusionWith a similar amount of total weight loss, lean mass is preserved, but there is not a preferential loss of abdominal fat when either moderate- or vigorous-intensity aerobic exercise is performed during caloric restriction. This trial was registered at (ClinicalTrials.gov) as: NCT00664729.
