Does Exercise Cause Weight LossSome evidence suggests that exercise is not effective at promoting weight loss. According to some weight control experts, research has failed to show that activity levels account for body weights. A 10-year epidemiological follow-up study in the International Journal of Obesity in 1993 examining National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey (NHANES-I) data from the 1970s to 1980s, found no relationship between baseline physical activity level and later weight gain among either men or women. Jack Wilmore, Ph.D., writing for President's Council on Physical Fitness and Sports, stated that "physical activity has only a limited influence on changing body composition." Even vigorous exercise results in unsubstantial reductions in weight. Many researchers, including Dr. Paul. J. Pacy at the Centre for Nutrition and Food Safety, School of Biological Sciences, University of Surrey, UK, have concluded that "exercise alone appears largely ineffectual regarding weight loss."
