A new study led by North Carolina researchers has found that when it comes to weight- and fat loss, aerobic training is better than resistance training.

Resistance training (RT) has also been shown to be beneficial because it enhances muscular strength and endurance, functional capacity and independence, and quality of life, while reducing disability. In a study scheduled for publication in the October issue of the Archives of Physical Medicine and Rehabilitation, researchers compared two RT regimens of different intensity in combination with AT. They determined that higher volume of RT in combination with AT does not yield any additional benefits. http://medicalxpress.com/news/2011-09-resistance-benefit-cardiac-patients.html Health Thu, 01 Sep 2011 11:09:57 EST news234094182 Aerobic exercise is your best bet when it comes to losing that dreaded belly fat, a new study finds. http://medicalxpress.com/news/2011-08-aerobic-bests-resistance-belly-fat.html Health Thu, 25 Aug 2011 10:34:19 EST news233487250
