Recommendations for physical activity in the management of obesity [13].
| (i) PA in overweight or obese adults results in modest WL independent of the effect of caloric restriction through diet | A | (i) The combination of a reduced calorie diet and increased PA produces greater WL than diet alone or PA alone | A |
| (ii) PA in overweight or obese adults modestly reduces abdominal fat | B | (ii) The combination of a reduced calorie diet and increased PA produces greater reductions in abdominal fat than either diet alone or PA alone, although it has not been shown to be independent of WL | B |
| (iii) PA in overweight or obese adults modestly increases cardio-respiratory fitness independent of WL | A | (iii) A combination of a reduced calorie diet and increased PA improves cardiorespiratory fitness as measured by VO2max when compared to diet alone | A |
