Summary
This study looked at whether losing fat through a controlled diet helps obese older adults get more out of exercise. 180 sedentary seniors with a BMI of 30-35 took part. Researchers measured improvements in heart fitness and walking endurance to see if combining calorie restriction with exercise works better than exercise alone.
