Some peer-reviewed scientific publications have been sending the same message. However, strong evidence indicates that the net impact of adding physical activity to a weight loss program is a total increase in energy expenditure.

Ulf Ekelund described evidence showing only a very weak association between physical activity and weight gain and other evidence suggesting that physical activity reduces the risk of obesity but only in people with normal weight status at the baseline. In contrast, Ekelund continued, other evidence indicates a strong relationship between physical activity and other health outcomes, including all-cause mortality.

I think the information is very clear." Based on a review of evidence from randomized controlled effectiveness trials, Ross further concluded that lifestyle interventions designed to prevent weight gain are generally effective, although it is unclear which component of the interventions -- diet or exercise -- is responsible. He suggested that treatment of obesity may be too great a challenge and that a more desirable outcome might be prevention of weight gain.

She also envisioned tremendous potential for personalized information technology advising; for example, through the use of "Carmen," a bilingual virtual adviser developed for use in community centers as a way to increase walking among older Latino adults. Institutional Strategies for Promoting Physical Activity A key finding in the 2012 Physical Activity Guidelines for Americans Midcourse Report, according to Allison Nihiser, was that strong evidence calls for a multi-component approach to promoting school physical activity, with physical education as an essential part of the approach and with the majority of physical education class time spent keeping students active.

He emphasized that many workplace physical activity promotion programs have been shown to be effective, but their effectiveness depends on design. He discussed design principles underlying successful strategies, with the culture of an organization being a strong predictor of success, and used IBM as a case study of a worksite physical activity program that led to improvements in physical activity–related risks and health care costs.
