Abstract
Use of very low-calorie diet (VLCD) regimen with
various types of exercise and behavior modification has
become a new approach in weight loss treatment over the
past 10 years and involves hundreds of thousands of
Americans who are severely obese (BMI >30 kg/m 2 ) and
sedentary. To date the studies examining various
combinations of exercise and VLCD regimens on the
repartitioning of body composition and adaptations in
resting metabolic rate (RMR) remain plagued with
discrepancies. A priority exists to discover effective
exercise programs during a VLCD therapy to achieve
desirable repartitioning of body composition and
preservation of resting metabolic rate (RMR). [TRUNCATED]
