Modest exercise can prevent weight gain

ases: 2 percent decrease for low dose/moderate intensity; 2.6 percent decrease for low amount/vigorous intensity; and 4.9 percent decrease for high dose/vigorous intensity.

"This study revealed a clear dose-response effect between the amount of exercise and decreases in measurements of central obesity and total body fat mass, reversing the effects seen in the inactive group," Slentz said. "The close relationship between central body fat and cardiovascular disease, diabetes and hypertension lends further importance to this finding."

Participants who did not exercise experienced an average 0.8 percent increase in waist circumference, while all the exercise groups saw decreases: 1.6 percent decrease for low dose/moderate intensity; 1.4 percent decrease for low amount/vigorous intensity; and 3.4 percent decrease for high dose/vigorous intensity.

Joining Slentz were Duke colleagues Brian Duscha, Johanna Johnson, Kevin Ketchum, Lori Aiken, Gregory Samsa, Ph.D., and Connie Bales, Ph.D. Joseph Houmard, Ph.D., East Carolina University, was also a member of the team.
