Cycling and weight loss: there are few studies



Traditionally, the bike has quite a few inspired researchers to benefit the running when it comes to assess the impact on overweight and weight loss .

It must be said that the calculation of energy expenditure is relatively simple in terms of race: a calorie is expended per kilogram of body weight per kilometer. It may also be noted that many researchers are also frequent runners!

Against the weight, teens on the bike


In 2009, a team of Tunisian researchers deviated from this pattern and conducted a study of three groups of adolescents are overweight (42% from fat). Age is important!
The study was to prescribe cycling sessions in the first group of 18 subjects and comparing the weight loss with that of a second group (always 18) subject to strict low-calorie diet (500 calories less than of usual). A third equally important associated diet and cycling.

Also specify that the training consisted of four weekly sessions of one hour and a half of cycling to moderate. The study lasted two months (total of 32 sessions per person or 48 hours in the saddle)
