Alternate Day Fasting and Exercise in Overweight or Obese Adults

"During the 8-week intervention, participants consumed 25% of their daily recommended energy intake (approximately 500 kcal) on each fast day (24 h), and consumed food ad libitum on each feed day (24 h). The fast day and feed day were repeated every other day, and the fast day occurred 3 days per week."

During the 8-week intervention, participants visited the research center gym at least three times per week and received exercise logs. Each exercise session began with 5 minutes of warm-up and ended with 5 minutes of cool-down. Resistance training was performed using weight training machines, barbells, and dumbbells for 40 minutes. Aerobic exercise was performed on motorized treadmills for 20 minutes.
