In a review paper in Medicine & Science in Sports and Exercise (31: S542-S546, 1999), Dr. R. Loretta DiPietro reports that the evidence linking habitual physical activity to the prevention of excess weight gain among the general population seems clear. Most of these findings suggest that physical activity or fitness plays more of a role in reducing age-related weight gain and preventing significant weight gain, than in promoting weight loss. Whereas the relationship between improvements in physical activity or fitness and reduced weight gain appears small in several studies, over decades these small savings in excess weight gain accumulate into net savings that are quite meaningful with regard to minimizing the risk associated with obesity-related disorders. Moreover, results from several of the studies reviewed suggest that increasing amounts of physical activity may be necessary to effectively maintain a constant body weight with increasing age.
