"For a fast body weight reduction, physical activity is inappropriate in obese women and men 123 ). Together with a balanced nutrition, endurance training leads to a longterm weight loss and aids to keep a reduced body weight."
See also "Exercise 'must be tough to work'" 126 ) and "The American College of Sports Medicine recommendations for Resistance Training Exercise127 )

Exercise, physical labour, breaks into the directly available supply of carbohydrates in first instance. Only in the case of a long lasting effort, without suppletion of carbohydrates, the fat supply can be broken into, provided this fat can be mobilized . Then the measured weight reduction consists of: loss of fluid, consumed proteins, and consumed fat. Untrained individuals lack the capacity to convert "stored calories" quickly into kinetic energy . For endurance athletes this capacity is about three times as much  17 ). Sports like *Skiing cross country (Langlaufen), *Running long distance (Marathon) and *Squash, when practiced by sportspro's, can contribute to weight reduction . Exercises and sports when prac-ticed in a recreational context however, it is true, may contribute to increase the basal metabolism but do not rank among the group of very effective weight reduction methods.

BENEFITS  of  "EXERCISE"  &  "MOVING" target effect assumptions for PREVENTION of becoming OVERWEIGHT very good combined with moderate calorie intake + smart use of fat-/carbo-blockers better circulation, body condition, locomotor system very good at least once daily for LOSS of built-up OVERWEIGHT average people poor combined with moderate food intake for LOSS of built-up OVERWEIGHT professional athletes good endurance training

A distinction has to be made between exercising for the prevention of becoming overweight and exercising for the reduction of being overweight. Exercising for the prevention is effective. It can be combined with a smart usage of fatblockers and carboblockers.
It is often thought that "thus" exercising is also effective for the reduction of built up overweight. That doesnot come up to expectations. Exercising to reduce built up overweight has some added value but it cannot rank among the top-effective methods for weight reduction. The considerable decrease of physical labour and of exercising in the last century, maintaining a high-calorie diet, is the main cause of acquiring overweight over the years. The reverse, attempting to reduce overweight by increasing one's exercising turns out not to be an effective way of weight reduction. What in many years has been built up will not reduce quickly by applying more exercise. More exercise and going in for sports within limits, however is beneficial for the locomotor system and the entire body condition . It is also useful to prevent the Basal Metabolic Rate to decrease gradually, please please see sub-page "ADIPOSTAT".
