Document Summary
Comparison of lifestyle and structured intervention to increase physical activity and. To compare the 24 month intervention effects of a lifestyle physical activity program with traditional structured exercise on improving pa and cardiorespiratory fitness. Sedentary men (n=116) and females (n=119) with self-reported pa of less than 36- 34kcal/kg per day, respectively: keep in mind regression to the mean we have sedentary people very low on the scale of pa. Randomized clinical trial conducted from august 1993 through july 1997. Six months of intensive and 18 months of maintenance on either: a lifestyle pa or, a traditional structured ex program. Main outcome measures: self-reported pa (subjective) and peak vo2 (objective) Pa: y axis: energy expenditure, x-axis time (0 months 24 months), at 6 months lifestyle better results overall not much difference. Difference at 6 months favouring the structured program can control the activity and intensity likely to perform better on peak vo2 test.
