The article reports on research conducted to investigate the impact weight loss and exercise training had on oxygen uptake and heart rate response during locomotion. Researchers evaluated 73 overweight women who were assigned to diet and aerobic training, diet and resistance training, or diet only. They found that resistance training increased strength, aerobic training increased maximum oxygen uptake and that no significant differences in reduction of heart rate were seen in any of the groups.
