About

The proposed study seeks to better understand the role of body weight, energy expenditure, and energy intake as mechanisms of body weight gain during detraining following aerobic exercise. It is hypothesized that participants in the higher dose exercise group will have greater body weight gain compared to the lower exercise dose and control group from wk 24 to wk 76 follow-up.
