Exercise intensity and weight loss

What workouts lead to greater weight loss, high-intensity, or low intensity exercise that expends the same amount of overall energy.

According to a new study carried out on 14 healthy untrained women ,these women exercised on the treadmill at either 45 or 73% of VO2 max four times a week for three months expanding 300 calories per exercise session and eating as normal.

All participants lost weight but the low intensity group lost 1.4 kg more than the high-intensity group.

The researchers speculate that this may have been due to the different effects of the two intensities on the dietary and activity habits for example high-intensity exercise might stimulate appetite and or encourage relaxation more effectively the low intensity variety percentage body fat and fat mass decreased in all participants.

It’s a obvious thing to go faster apart from obvious strength training and form training by losing weight every kilo you drop off you don’t have to carry around a race track.

You would keep weight off, but still have muscle by looking at the very simple things as opposed to complicated training patterns and worrying about rest and injury just be very cautious and conscious of what your dietary restrictions or dietary plan are and create exercises that encourage fat loss burning that don’t require the endless kilometres.

If you don’t have time, you can set up training intensities within the gym in a very short time that will continue to burn fat as you would in an endurance run.

In the study, percentage body fat and fat and decreased in all participants with no particular significant differences between the groups.

To say these findings are conclusive in any manner apart from the obvious fact that weight loss was gained through low intensity training should bring you to the conclusion yourself on what is possible in your training regime

Fat-free mass by contrast decreased in most members of the low intensity group but increased in most of the high-intensity groups the findings either suggest that the high intensity exercise elicits some degree of muscle growth in untrained women or simply reflects the fact that was a less effective in reducing bodyweight or is due to a combination of the two

So what then is the lesson that we can take away from this if the goal is to lose weight and by doing so gained better performance by getting rid of unwanted fat mass but still keeping essential muscle, diet and nutrition play an important role in sports performance and training understanding low intensity training and fitting it in to a lifestyle it is possible to achieve a great deal of success both on the home front and in the sporting arena
