Available literature offers partial support through general discussions of active commuting and low-impact health activities, but lacks comprehensive direct evidence specifically establishing cycling as a primary weight loss mechanism.
Effects of active commuting and leisure-time exercise on fat loss in women and men with overweight and obesity: a randomized controlled trial
## Abstract
Background: Aerobic exercise is recommended for weight management but energy balance is often less negative than predicted from exercise energy expenditure (ExEE).
Objective: To examine effects of active commuting and leisure-time exercise on fat loss in women and men with overweight and obesity.
Methods: We randomized 130 younger, physically inactive women and men with overweight and obesity (body mass index: 25-35 kg m-2) to 6 months of habitual lifestyle (control; CON, n=18), active commuting (BIKE, n=35) or leisure-time exercise of moderate (MOD, 50% VO2peak reserve, n=39) or vigorous intensity (VIG, 70% VO2peak reserve, n=38). The primary outcome was change in fat mass measured by dual-energy X-ray absorptiometry, which was analyzed intention-to-treat. Accumulated energy balance was calculated based on changes in body composition, and ExEE was calculated based on heart rate monitoring during exercise.
Results: Testing at 3 and 6 months was completed by 95 and 90 participants, respectively. Fat mass was reduced after 3 an
