In general, weight loss parallels energy expenditure via exercise, whether achieved by greater volumes, intensities, or durations of the exercise prescription. There is no evidence yet from well‐designed studies that low‐intensity exercise is effective for reducing abdominal fat. Most robustly designed studies have used moderate‐ to high‐intensity aerobic interventions. An overall higher‐intensity stimulus can be delivered via intermittent intensities with resistance or interval training, a prescription that may be effective and more easily tolerated by ‘at‐risk’ populations than sustained, moderate, or intense exercise due to obesity‐related dyspnoea or osteoarthritis.
