“…This is in agreement with the ®ndings of Leon et al where insulin was reduced by 43% in males after 16 weeks of walking which resulted in a 6% decrease in body weight. 43 The changes in the present study and in the study of Leon are not remarkably different from the ®ndings of Franssila-Kallunki et al, where an 11% decrease in weight was shown in response to VLED and fasting insulin decreased 43% and insulin area under the curve analysis in response to a test meal decreased 21%. Thus, exercise in the current study was associated with changes in metabolic ®tness which compare to studies using more aggressive therapies and in which weight loss was greater.…”

OBJECTIVES:To compare the effects of 18 months of continuous vs intermittent exercise on aerobic capacity, body weight and composition, and metabolic ®tness in previously sedentary, moderately obese females. DESIGN: Randomized, prospective, long-term cohort study. Subjects performed continuous exercise at 60 ± 75% of maximum aerobic capacity, 3 days per week, 30 min per session, or exercised intermittently using brisk walking for two, 15 min sessions, 5 days per week. MEASURES: Aerobic capacity, body weight, body composition, and metabolic ®tness (blood pressure, lipids, glucose and insulin). RESULTS: Signi®cant improvements for aerobic capacity of 8% and 6% were shown for the continuous and intermittent exercise groups, respectively. Weight loss for the continuous exercise group was signi®cant at 2.1% from baseline weight and the intermittent group was essentially unchanged. The continuous group showed a signi®cant decrease in percentage of body fat and fat weight while the intermittent group did not. HDL cholesterol and insulin were signi®cantly improved for both groups. CONCLUSIONS: In previously sedentary, moderately obese females, continuous or intermittent exercise performed long-term may be effective for preventing weight gain and for improving some measures of metabolic ®tness.

HTA NHS R&D HTA ProgrammeT he NHS R&D Health Technology Assessment (HTA) Programme was set up in 1993 to ensure that high-quality research information on the costs, effectiveness and broader impact of health technologies is produced in the most efficient way for those who use, manage and provide care in the NHS.Initially, six HTA panels (pharmaceuticals, acute sector, primary and community care, diagnostics and imaging, population screening, methodology) helped to set the research priorities for the HTA Programme. However, during the past few years there have been a number of changes in and around NHS R&D, such as the establishment of the National Institute for Clinical Excellence (NICE) and the creation of three new research programmes: Service Delivery and Organisation (SDO); New and Emerging Applications of Technology (NEAT); and the Methodology Programme.This has meant that the HTA panels can now focus more explicitly on health technologies ('health technologies' are broadly defined to include all interventions used to promote health, prevent and treat disease, and improve rehabilitation and long-term care) rather than settings of care. Therefore the panel structure has been redefined and replaced by three new panels: Pharmaceuticals; Therapeutic Procedures (including devices and operations); and Diagnostic Technologies and Screening.The HTA Programme continues to commission both primary and secondary research. The HTA Commissioning Board, supported by the National Coordinating Centre for Health Technology Assessment (NCCHTA), will consider...

“…Leon et al 46 studied six sedentary obese men aged 16-31 years who completed 16 weeks of 90 min vigorous walking, 5 days/week, on a treadmill at up to 5.2 km/h on a 10% grade, expending about 1100 kcal per session. Physical work capacity was assessed by means of the modified Balke multistage treadmill exercise test protocol.…”

SummaryThe understanding of the effect of physical activity (PA) on food intake is imperative for considering PA as an additional tool for prevention and treatment of many diseases. Prolonged strenuous PA performed on a regular basis causes an increase in overall energy turnover, and leads either to loss of body weight, or to an increased food intake. When leading to loss of body weight, PA may be used as a therapeutic adjunct in the treatment of obesity. When increasing food intake to compensate for increased energy expenditure and maintaining body weight, PA, by increasing intake of other constituents of food like minerals and vitamins, may contribute to micronutrient deficiency coverage. However, the type of activity, as well as body composition of the individuals engaging in sport, play an important role in food intake regulation and its changes with time. Some studies indicate that shortterm exercise does not have the same effect on food intake as long-term exercise and that eventual increase in food intake due to increased PA does not follow the same pattern in obese as in lean individuals. To better understand the relationship between PA on food intake, current findings on this topic will be summarized in this paper.
