When it comes to weight loss and and fat loss, aerobic training is better than resistance training (weight training) according to a new study published in the December 2012 edition of the Journal of Applied Physiology.
The study entitled "Effects of aerobic and/or resistance training on body mass and fat mass in overweight or obese adults" is believed to the largest randomized trial to directly compare changes in body composition induced by comparable amounts of time spent doing aerobic and resistant training, or both in combination, among previously inactive overweight or obese non-diabetic adults.
Cardio has many health benefit, so many that people are often surprised.
According to a new study published in British Journal of Sports Medicine, a person who maintains aerobic fitness, especially through middle age and beyond, can delay biological aging by up to 12 years and prolong independence during old age.
