Participants
Twenty subjects (17 women, three men) with a mean age of
36.7611.5 years, weight of 95.1613.0 kg, and a BMI of
35.262.9 kg/m2 were recruited through newspaper advertisements
to participate in a 12-week diet and exercise study. The
criteria for participation in the study were no involvement in a
regular exercise or weight loss program for at least 6 months
prior to the first visit and no known cardiovascular, endocrinologic
or orthopedic disorders. After informed consent was
obtained, all potential subjects underwent a complete medical
examination to determine their ability to participate. Eligible
subjects were randomly assigned to one of two groups: standard
treatment control plus VLCD (C1D, females58,
males52), or resistance exercise plus VLCD (R1D, females59,
males51). Each subject was given a maximum stress
test, body composition analysis, and RMR determination prior
to the start of the study.
