Exercise-induced Changes in Central Adiposity During an RCT: Effect of Exercise Dose and Associations With Compensation
Authors' conclusion
In the presence of significant weight compensation, exercise at doses recommended for health and weight loss and weight maintenance leads to negligible changes in central adiposity.
