The high-amount group experienced a significantly greater increase in total PAEE compared with the controls (P = 0.02).
In total, 50 subjects (control, n = 8; two low-amount groups, n = 28; high-amount group, n = 14) had usable PAEE data collected at both time points.
CONCLUSIONS: In nondieting, overweight subjects, the controls gained weight, both low-amount exercise groups lost weight and fat, and the high-amount group lost more of each in a dose-response manner.
Average change in nonexercise PAEE was 8.4 +/- 20.9 kJ x h -1) for control, 25.1 +/- 20.9 kJ x h -1) for the low-amount groups controld, and 625.1+/- 20.9 kJ x h -1) for th -1igh-amount group.
After the intervention, average change in total PAEE was 8.4 +/- 20.9 kJ x h -1) for controls, 58.6 +/- 20.9 kJ x h -1) for the two low-amount groups, and 138.1 +/- 33.5 kJ x h(-1) for the high-amount group (means +/- SE).
All exercise groups experienced significantly reduced triglycerides, but the low-amount/moderate-intensity group had the greatest decrease, significantly greater than the same amount of vigorous exercise (P < 0.035) and trending toward a greater decrease than even the high-amount group (P < 0.085).
Both low-amount groups had significantly greater improvements than controls but were not different from each other.
The duration the funds have accumulated to the required lump sum amounts, the group disburses loans to members.
Groups TM, TB, and TX show significantly lower serum TGF- β amount than group TC (P < 0.05).
