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
| Measure | Time frame | Description |
|---|---|---|
| Body Weight | Week 64 - 88 post study randomization | Fasting body weight |
Secondary
| Measure | Time frame | Description |
|---|---|---|
| Energy Expenditure | Week 64 - 90 since study randomization | Energy expenditure is calculated with the Sensewear Armband. |
| Energy Intake | Week 64 - 90 post study randomization | Energy 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. |
Other
| Measure | Time frame | Description |
|---|---|---|
| Triglycerides | Week 64 - 88 post study randomization | — |
| Circumferences | Week 64-88 post study randomization | Waist and hip circumferences |
| Cholesterol | Week 64 - 88 post study randomization | Total, HDL, and LDL cholesterol |
