Health effects resulting from exercise versus those from body fat loss

Article Abstract:

This article examines the heath benefits gained from regular physical activity and reductions in body fat. Findings indicate that metabolic processes related to body fat loss may be responsible for differences in high-density lipoprotein cholesterol levels and cardiovascular disease risk between sedentary and active individuals.

Cross-sectional relationships of exercise and age to adiposity in 60,617 male runners

Article Abstract:

Cross-sectional analyses were conducted among men to assess whether exercise affects the estimated age-related increase in adiposity, and contrariwise, whether age affects the estimated exercise-related decrease in a diposity. The results reveal that age and vigorous exercise interact with each other in affecting men's adiposity and are consistent with the proposition that vigorous physical activity must increase with age to prevent middle-age weight gain.

Is abdominal fat preferentially reduced in response to exercise-induced weight loss?

Article Abstract:

Results from nonrandomized controlled studies indicate that weight loss and abdominal fat reduction are directly related. A loss of 3 kg in weight resulted in 3 cm reduction in the waist circumference, the latter indicating that exercise reduced both visceral and subcutaneous fat.
