- Abstract
The article discusses a 12-week exercise intervention study that evaluated changes in cardiorespiratory fitness, energy expenditure and substrate utilization at rest and during exercise in black South African women with obesity and explored associations with changes in body composition. Twelve weeks of combined aerobic and resistance exercise training in the participants resulted in an unanticipated relative reduction in gynoid fat mass rather than visceral adipose tissue.
