The Effect of Aerobic Training on Weight Loss in Middle-Aged and Older Adults: Is It a Sufficient Form of Exercise? by Anita Ptak, Michał Szyc

“…Aerobic training has a positive effect on weight loss, but the best results are obtained when aerobic training is accompanied by resistance training, as it has a positive effect on muscle strength and muscle tissue quality and has a positive effect on bone mineral density (BMD). However, it should be noted that significant fat reduction requires the implementation of a calorie deficit. …”
