Book Description
The primary purpose of fitness and body composition standards in the U.S. Armed Forces has always been to select individuals best suited to the physical demands of military service, based on the assumption that proper body weight and composition supports good health, physical fitness, and appropriate military appearance. The current epidemic of overweight and obesity in the United States affects the military services. The pool of available recruits is reduced because of failure to meet body composition standards for entry into the services and a high percentage of individuals exceeding military weight-for-height standards at the time of entry into the service leave the military before completing their term of enlistment. To aid in developing strategies for prevention and remediation of overweight in military personnel, the U.S. Army Medical Research and Materiel Command requested the Committee on Military Nutrition Research to review the scientific evidence for: factors that influence body weight, optimal components of a weight loss and weight maintenance program, and the role of gender, age, and ethnicity in weight management.

The Effects of Exercise Training on Resting Metabolic Rate in Youth with Overweight Or Obesity

Book Description
Resting metabolic rate (RMR) is the largest component in energy expenditure and is often reduced with weight loss. Exercise training has been shown to attenuate RMR reductions in adults. However, little is known about the effects of exercise training and body composition changes on RMR in youth with overweight or obesity. A secondary analysis of sedentary youth (18 years, BMI percentile > 85%), randomly assigned to either a control group or one of 3 exercise intervention groups: aerobic, resistance or combined, was conducted. Absolute RMR change did not differ between exercise modalities compared to control. Changes in fat free mass (FFM), but not fat mass, visceral fat or skeletal muscle was significantly associated with changes in RMR independent of exercise modality. Thus, in youth with overweight or obesity, although exercise modality was not associated with different changes in RMR, FFM change appears to be a modest predictor of RMR change.
