Brief summary

The proposed study seeks to better understand the role of body weight, energy expenditure, and energy intake as mechanisms of body weight gain during detraining following aerobic exercise. It is hypothesized that participants in the higher dose exercise group will have greater body weight gain compared to the lower exercise dose and control group from wk 24 to wk 76 follow-up.

Detailed description

Eligibility criteria include having successfully completed the main E-Mechanic study, be willing to archive blood samples and not being currently enrolled in another study that may effect body, energy intake or energy expenditure. The investigators will measure body weight, waist/hip circumference, blood pressure, body composition, physical activity, questionnaire about appetite/food intake and physical fitness.

Design outcomes

Primary

MeasureTime frameDescription
Body WeightWeek 64 - 88 post study randomizationFasting body weight

Secondary

MeasureTime frameDescription
Energy ExpenditureWeek 64 - 90 since study randomizationEnergy expenditure is calculated with the Sensewear Armband.
Energy IntakeWeek 64 - 90 post study randomizationEnergy expenditure is calculated with the Sensewear Armband and furthermore, energy intake is calculated by adjusting TDEE for change in body weight following the methods used in doubly labeled water adjustment.
