Research results show that increasing aerobic exercise time leads to a linear (proportional) decrease in weight, waist circumference, and body fat. A joint research team from Imperial College London, Semnan University of Medical Sciences in Iran, and Sadoqi University of Medical Sciences announced that this was observed from analyzing the exercise effects on 6,880 overweight and obese adults who engaged in more than 150 minutes of aerobic exercise per week.

Dr. Ahmad Zayed, co-responsible author of the research and a professor at Imperial College School of Public Health (Epidemiology and Biostatistics), stated, "The longer the aerobic exercise duration, the more proportionally the effects of weight, waist circumference, and body fat reduction increase."

The research team analyzed the results of 116 randomized clinical trials involving 6,880 participants. This included data from adults who were overweight or obese, participating in an over 8-week clinical trial focused on aerobic exercise under the supervision of the research team (61% women, average age 46).

 

According to the research findings, exercising for 150 minutes per week results in approximately 2.79 kg weight loss, about 3.26 cm reduction in waist circumference, and approximately 2.08% decrease in body fat percentage. In particular, each additional 30 minutes of aerobic exercise per week is associated with an average weight reduction of about 0.52 kg, a waist circumference decrease of 0.56 cm, and a body fat percentage decrease of 0.37%. Additionally, exercising for 300 minutes per week leads to a weight loss of 4.19 kg, a waist circumference reduction of 4.12 cm, and a body fat percentage decrease of 1.78%.

Over the past 45 years, the global obesity prevalence has tripled. More than 50% of adults are overweight or obese. According to the Global Burden of Disease Study (2019), obesity is associated with the highest risk of death-related diseases. Currently, aerobic exercise is recommended as a key component of weight management. To achieve meaningful weight loss, more than 150 minutes of aerobic exercise per week is necessary.

 

The research team noted that these recommendations heavily depend on individual experiments. They also wanted to see if an analysis of the dose-response relationship between aerobic exercise and body fat reduction could yield similar results. Dr. Zayed said, "To clinically significantly improve waist circumference and body fat, it has been confirmed that current guidelines recommending more than 150 minutes of moderate to vigorous aerobic exercise per week are correct."

 

This research result (Aerobic Exercise and Weight Loss in Adults) was published in the JAMA Network Open, a journal of the American Medical Association, and was featured by the American health and medical media outlet 'MedicalXpress'.
