Effects of clinically significant weight loss with exercise training on insulin resistance and cardiometabolic adaptations
Damon L. Swift,Neil M. Johannsen,Carl J. Lavie,Conrad P. Earnest,Steven N. Blair,Timothy S. Church +5 more
TL;DR: To determine response rates for clinically significant weight loss following different aerobic exercise training amounts and whether enhanced cardiometabolic adaptations are observed with CWL compared to modest weight loss (MWL) or neither, a large number of subjects were enrolled.

Robert Ross,Miu Lam,Steven N. Blair,Timothy S. Church,Marshall Godwin,Stephen B. Hotz,Ana Johnson,Peter T. Katzmarzyk,Lucie Lévesque,Susan MacDonald +9 more
TL;DR: In this paper, a 2-year behaviorally based physical activity and diet program implemented entirely within clinical practices to reduce obesity was evaluated and the primary outcome was change in waist circumference (WC).

The Effect of Exercise Training Modality on Serum Brain Derived Neurotrophic Factor Levels in Individuals with Type 2 Diabetes
Damon L. Swift,Neil M. Johannsen,Valerie H. Myers,Conrad P. Earnest,Jasper A. J. Smits,Steven N. Blair,Timothy S. Church +6 more
TL;DR: Serum BDNF measures were not altered by 9 months of aerobic, resistance, or combination training, however, reductions in waist circumference were associated with decreased serum BDNF levels.
Epidemiologic Data on the Relationships of Caloric Intake, Energy Balance, and Weight Gain Over the Life Span With Longevity and Morbidity
I-Min Lee,Steven N. Blair,David B. Allison,Aaron R. Folsom,Tamara B. Harris,JoAnn E. Manson,Rena R. Wing +6 more
TL;DR: Whether there are physiologic effects that occur with CR in humans that could plausibly explain the observed longevity of laboratory animals associated with CR is examined and recommendations regarding further epidemiologic research are provided to help clarify unanswered questions.
Exercise training improves selected aspects of daytime functioning in adults with obstructive sleep apnea.
Christopher E. Kline,Gary B. Ewing,James B. Burch,James B. Burch,Steven N. Blair,J. Larry Durstine,J. Mark Davis,Shawn D. Youngstedt,Shawn D. Youngstedt +8 more
TL;DR: Evidence is provided that exercise training may be helpful for improving aspects of daytime functioning of adults with OSA and that reduced fatigue following exercise training was mediated by a reduction in OSA severity.
