Randomized Controlled TrialEffects of a weight maintenance program with or without exercise on the metabolic syndrome: a randomized trial in obese men.
Weight maintenance (WM) after weight reduction (WR) is difficult, but increased physical activity may help. We studied whether adding exercise to diet counseling decreases the occurrence of the metabolic syndrome (MBO). ⋯ Adding structured exercise to diet counseling did not alleviate MBO better than diet only. However, the occurrence of MBO was reduced in all groups at the end.
