INCREASED PHYSICAL ACTIVITY/EXERCISE IS A RECOMMENDED STRATEGY FOR THOSE SEEKING TO EFFECTIVELY REDUCE AND MANAGE BODYWEIGHT. TRADITIONALLY, WEIGHT MANAGEMENT EXERCISE RECOMMENDATIONS HAVE FOCUSED ON AEROBIC-TYPE ACTIVITIES, SUCH AS WALKING, BIKING, SWIMMING, AND THE LIKE, WHICH TEND TO RESULT IN A SIGNIFICANT CALORIC EXPENDITURE DURING THE EXERCISE SESSION. STUDIES SUGGEST THAT RESISTANCE EXERCISE CAN ALSO PLAY AN IMPORTANT ROLE IN A LONG-TERM WEIGHT MANAGEMENT PROGRAM, ALBEIT THROUGH DIFFERENT MECHANISMS. THIS ARTICLE EXPLORES CURRENT ACTIVITY/EXERCISE RECOMMENDATIONS FOR WEIGHT LOSS/MANAGEMENT AND DISCUSSES THE POTENTIAL ROLE OF RESISTANCE EXERCISE.
