With regards to obesity-related disease the impact of exercise
training on health depends on the ability of exercise to promote
a negative energy balance. Exercise’s effect on promoting a
negative energy balance is more likely to occur if exercise can
induce a favourable dietary intake such as a reduced relative fat
content in the diet. As such, the aim of this study was to evaluate
and compare the effectiveness of aerobic training, weight training
and concurrent aerobic and weight training on self-reported
dietary intake. The effects of 16 weeks of aerobic (n = 12),
weight (n = 13) and concurrent aerobic and weight training (n =
13) on self-reported dietary intakes were compared in previously
sedentary males using the computer-based Dietary Manager®
software programme. Only the concurrent aerobic and weight
training group showed significant (p ≤ 0.05) reductions in total
kilocalories, carbohydrates, proteins and fats consumed while
the aerobic training group showed significant reductions in fat
intake at the completion of the experimental period (before: 91.0
± 42.1g versus after: 77.1 ± 62.1g). However, no changes were
observed in self-reported dietary intake in the weight training or
non-exercising control groups. It is concluded that concurrent
aerobic and weight training is the most effective mode of exercise
at promoting a favourable improvement in self-reported
dietary intake in the short term. This finding provides support
for efforts to promote increases in overall physical activity in an
attempt to modify the patterns of dietary intake.
