ABSTRACT: Objective
To examine the relationship between objectively assessed moderate-to-vigorous intensity physical activity (MVPA) and 4-year weight loss (WL) and WL maintenance among individuals with diabetes enrolled in the Look AHEAD trial.Methods
MVPA was measured in a subgroup of lifestyle intervention participants with accelerometry data at baseline and at 1 and 4 years (n?=?553; age: 59.7?±?6.8 y; BMI: 35.5?±?5.9 kg/m2 ). Minutes per week of bout-related MVPA were calculated (??3 metabolic equivalents,???10-min bouts), and adherence to the national physical activity (PA) recommendation for WL maintenance (??250 min/wk) was assessed.Results
Independent of 1-year WL, 4-year MVPA (??=?-0.003, SE?=?0.002, P?=?0.006), but not 1-year MVPA (??=?0.0001, SE?=?0.001, P?=?0.50), was significantly associated with 4-year WL. Compared with "nonmaintainers" (??10% WL at year 1, but?ConclusionsHigher weekly MVPA is associated with greater long-term WL and weight maintenance; however, many individuals are able to maintain???10% WL while engaging in little MVPA.
