scientific findings with data

At Penn State University, researchers did an experiment to understand effects of weight training on weight loss.  They put overweight people on a low-calorie diet and divided them into three groups.  One group did no exercise, another did aerobic exercise 3 days a week, and the third did aerobic exercise and weight training 3 days a week.



RESULTS: The weight lifters lost 6 more pounds than those who did not lift weight.  Weights led to 40% greater fat loss.


This is significant because many people think that aerobic exercise is more helful in losing fat, but weight training is also important.
