Exercise and weight loss. A look at the scientific research

Description

While weight loss remains the most important underlying factor for people who exercise at health/fitness clubs and hire personal trainers, most fitness professionals are not familiar with the scientific research on this critical issue, all too often relying on what's presented by the popular media. Despite what scientists know about the most effective weight-loss strategies, a large gap exists between research and practice. Exercise and Weight Loss: A Look at the Scientific Research features a critical review of the scientific research on exercise and weight loss with regard to the most effective weight-loss strategies, including how much exercise is needed and the type and intensity level of exercise that is most appropriate for losing weight.
