The purpose of the study is to compare the effectiveness of two exercise programs (High Intensity Interval Training/HIIT and Low Intensity (LIT) Long Duration training) on decreasing fat mass and preserving lean body mass in obese patients. What the investigators are proposing is that HIIT is less effective because it will most likely decrease lean body mass in obese patients, whereas LIT decreases fat mass and conserves lean body tissue.

This is a case/control study comparing overweight/obese patients of three different groups (control, HIIT, LIT). The goal of a case/control is to show whether exposure to HIIT, two times a week for 6 weeks will decrease lean body mass versus control and LIT. If it turns out that lean body mass does decrease, then HIIT is not an effective exercise modality for overweight/obese patients, and in fact LIT or control may be a better option.
