Abstract EN
We aimed to examine the relationship between physical activity (PA) and change in body weight and cardiorespiratory fitness (CRF) in severely obese men and women.
Thirty-five subjects (10 men, body mass index 43.2±5.1 kg/m2) who participated in a 10-month lifestyle treatment programme were included.
The PA duration correlated only with weight change for men (r=-0.69, P=.027 versus r=-0.19, P=.372 for women).
Conversely, the PA intensity correlated only with CRF for women (r=0.61, P=.003 versus r=0.39, P=.340 for men).
PA explained 55.8 and 5.6% of weight change for men and women, respectively, whereas the corresponding explained variances for CRF were 15.6 and 36.7%.
We conclude that PA was associated with change in body weight and CRF; however, there was a trend towards a gender specific effect between severely obese men and women.
