| Martin et al. 2009 [52] | Randomized trial | Post-menopausal women, obese
~65% white
28% AA
6.5% other | Exercise laboratory | 45–75 yrs | 430
92 = control
147 = 4 KKW
96 = 8 KKW
95 = 12 KKW | 6 months | Nonexercise control group:
Base level activity | 3 groups (exhaust 4, 8, and 12 KKW (50%, 100%, and 150% of the recommended) kcal/kg of body weight per week resp.)
3-4 training sessions per week. | 12 KKW had significant increase in QOL.
Mean weight change = −0.94 (4 KKW), −1.34 (8 KKW), and −1.86 (12 KKW) Kg. |

| Lee et al. 2010 [54] | Prospective cohort study | Healthy US women (5% AA) | Individual preferences | Average
54.2 yrs. | 34079 | 13 yrs. | — | Three groups based on MET
(1) <7.5 MET (<150 mins/week of moderate-intensity PA)
(2) 7.5–21 MET of moderate intensity
(3) >21 MET (>420 mins/week) of moderate intensity | Women who exercised 420 minutes per week (60 mins a day) in a moderate-intensity activity gained less than 2.3 Kg in three years. |

| Dubbert et al. 2008 [55] | Prospective design | Male veterans 16% AA | Department of Veterans Affairs Medical Center, Jackson Mississippi | 60–85 yrs. | 224
I = 120
C = 104 | 10 months | Discussion of health topics brochures of current health recommendations without instructions or specific goal setting. | Counseling for home-based walking plus exercise targeting functional limitations, goal of exercising for 20 mins or more 3–5 times per week | The counseling in the intervention group increased the weekly frequency and minutes of walking and strength exercise and more frequent physical activity. |

walking and strength, balance, and flexibility exercises | Participants who were never medically suspended (NMS) and those who were suspended but returned (SR) improved a lot. |
