Not Applicable

Completed

• Conditions: Overweight; Obesity
• Interventions: Behavioral: high-intensity interval aerobic training; Behavioral: Strength training; Behavioral: continuous moderate-intensity aerobic training

• Registration Number: NCT00218920
• Lead Sponsor: Norwegian University of Science and Technology

Brief Summary

The aim is to come to a consensus about how to prescribe exercise training that actually helps overweight and obese people. Thus, the present study determines the effects of several types of exercise training to define the one with the largest effect with the least effort.
