Study Description

Brief Summary:

Stretching and flexibility exercise such as yoga and functional resistance exercise are two forms of exercise that are growing in popularity. However, they have not been scientifically tested to demonstrate their ability to improve body composition, fitness, heart and metabolic health, and mood state in overweight/obese women. The investigators hypothesize that during an 11 week intervention, both forms of exercise will improve body composition, heart and metabolic health and mood state.

Obesity; Insulin Resistance	Other: Protein whole foods; Other: Protein Resistance Exercise Training; Other: Protein Stretching/Yoga Training	Not Applicable

Detailed Description:

This study was a 11 week protein-rich whole food diet and exercise training intervention in middle aged overweight/obese women. Subjects were randomized into 3 groups: Protein-rich whole food only consumed as 20-25 grams per serving 4-6 per day (P); protein and resistance exercise training (R); and protein and stretching/yoga exercise training (S). All outcomes, including the primary outcomes of body composition and cardiometabolic biomarkers were measured at baseline (week 0) and post-intervention (week 12) in all study subjects.

Arms and Interventions

Arm	Intervention/treatment
Active Comparator: Protein whole foods; Ingestion of 20-25 grams per serving consumed 4-6 times per day; 1 within an hour of waking in the morning and the other 2.5-3 hours apart during the day.	Other: Protein whole foods; Protein-rich whole foods consumed at 20-30 grams of protein at each of 4-6 meals per day; Other: Protein Resistance Exercise Training; Protein rich whole foods diet and resistance training 3 times per week for 11 weeks; Other: Protein Stretching/Yoga Training; Protein-rich whole foods diet of 20-30 grams of protein at each of 4-6 meals per day with stretching/yoga training 3 times per week for 11 weeks
Experimental: Protein Resistance Exercise Training; Ingestion of 4-6 protein-rich meals per day and 3 times per week of resistance functional training.	Other: Protein whole foods; Protein-rich whole foods consumed at 20-30 grams of protein at each of 4-6 meals per day; Other: Protein Resistance Exercise Training; Protein rich whole foods diet and resistance training 3 times per week for 11 weeks
Experimental: Protein Stretching/Yoga Training; Ingestion of Protein-rich diet 4-6 meals/day and stretching/yoga training 3 times per week	Other: Protein whole foods; Protein-rich whole foods consumed at 20-30 grams of protein at each of 4-6 meals per day; Other: Protein Stretching/Yoga Training; Protein-rich whole foods diet of 20-30 grams of protein at each of 4-6 meals per day with stretching/yoga training 3 times per week for 11 weeks

Outcome Measures

Primary Outcome Measures :

1. Total and Regional Body Composition [ Time Frame: baseline and 11 weeks ]
   Total and regional body composition was assessed by dual energy xray absorptiometry (DXA) at baseline and 11 weeks in all subjects

Secondary Outcome Measures :

1. Aerobic Fitness [ Time Frame: baseline and 11 weeks ]
   VO2 max was assessed in each subject at baseline and 11 weeks

Other Outcome Measures:

1. Plasma Biomarkers [ Time Frame: baseline and 11 weeks ]
   Insulin, glucose, and leptin was assessed in each subject at baseline and 11 weeks
