The effects of diet only (DO) and diet combined with either aerobic (DA) or resistance (DR) exercise on subcutaneous adipose tissue (SAT), visceral adipose tissue (VAT), lean tissue (LT), and skeletal muscle (SM) tissue were evaluated in 33 obese men (DO, n = 11; DA, n = 11; DR, n = 11). All tissues were measured by using a whole body multislice magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) model. Within each group, significant reductions were observed for body weight, SAT, and VAT (P < 0.05).

Effects of sex on the change in visceral, subcutaneous adipose tissue and skeletal muscle in response to weight loss
TLDR
Findings indicate that in response to diet or diet and exercise‐induced weight loss, reductions in total adiposity, subcutaneous and visceral adipose tissue distribution are not different in obese men and women.
Influence of Sex on the Changes in Regional Fat and Skeletal Muscle Mass in Response to Exercise Training in Adolescents with Obesity.
TLDR
With the exception of abdominal SAT, there were no sex or exercise treatment differences in the reductions in total and regional fat and skeletal muscle in adolescents with obesity in response to aerobic exercise (AE) or resistance exercise (RE).
Effects of exercise modality on body composition and cardiovascular disease risk factors in adolescents with obesity: A randomized clinical trial.
TLDR
Regular exercise (180 min/week) is associated with reductions in visceral fat independent of exercise modality, and resistance exercise alone and combined resistance and aerobic exercise are similarly effective in increasing skeletal muscle mass.
Plasma leptin in moderately obese men: independent effects of weight loss and aerobic exercise.
TLDR
It is concluded that reduction in adipose tissue after weight loss results in a collateral decrease in circulating leptin, and exercise, independent of its effects on weight loss, has no profound influence on leptin secretion.
Exercise is required for visceral fat loss in postmenopausal women with type 2 diabetes.
TLDR
Modest weight loss, through either D or D+E, resulted in similar improvements in total abdominal fat, SAT, and glycemic status in postmenopausal women with type 2 diabetes; however, the addition of exercise to diet is necessary for VAT loss.
Weight-loss diet alone or combined with resistance training induces different regional visceral fat changes in obese women
TLDR
Different weight loss regimes may lead to different distribution of VAT, as WL+RT programs lead to significant changes in the location of highest mean VAT area from L3-L4 to L2-L3 discal level from pre- to post- intervention, whereas after WL the greatest relative VAT losses were located at L5-S1.
Effects of an energy-restrictive diet with or without exercise on abdominal fat, intermuscular fat, and metabolic risk factors in obese women.
TLDR
Weight loss was associated with reductions in metabolic risk factors in obese women and the findings reinforce the importance of diminished visceral fat in the treatment of insulin resistance.
Whole-body skeletal muscle mass is not related to glucose tolerance or insulin sensitivity in overweight and obese men and women.
TLDR
Although skeletal muscle is a primary site for glucose uptake and deposition, whole-body skeletal muscle mass per se is not associated with either glucose tolerance or insulin sensitivity in overweight and obese men and women.
Abdominal obesity, muscle composition, and insulin resistance in premenopausal women.
TLDR
In conclusion, visceral AT alone is a strong correlate of insulin resistance independent of nonabdominal, abdominal sc AT, muscle composition, and cardiovascular fitness.
Reduction of visceral adipose tissue during weight loss
TLDR
Results suggest that gender differences in VAT reduction during weight loss are independent of changes in FM, and once initial levels of VAT are also taken into account, gender Differences in the reduction of this tissue during weight Loss are no longer apparent.

Mobilization of visceral and subcutaneous adipose tissue in response to energy restriction and exercise.
TLDR
It is suggested that the combination of moderate energy restriction and either resistance or aerobic exercise induces significant reductions in VAT and SAT, with a preferential loss of VAT, and are thus effective means of reducing total and upper-body obesity in obese women.
Effects of energy restriction and exercise on skeletal muscle and adipose tissue in women as measured by magnetic resonance imaging.
TLDR
Findings provide evidence that the combination of energy restriction and exercise result in a greater reduction of AT and preservation of LT and SM compared with energy restriction alone.

TLDR
Findings provide evidence that lean tissues, in particular skeletal muscle, are preserved and adiposity is substantially reduced in response to weight loss induced by the combination of resistance exercise and moderate energy restriction.

Adipose tissue distribution changes during rapid weight loss in obese adults.
TLDR
Results indicate that in obese android male and female subjects, adipose tissue distribution as measured by WHR, does not change in response to rapid weight loss.

TLDR

TLDR
Metabolic responses were not correlated with changes in VO2 max but were significantly correlated with the reduction in body fat mass and/or with the loss of deep abdominal fat.

TLDR
Evidence that exercise training reduces the amount of body weight lost as fat-free mass during diet-induced weight loss is provided and sex differences do not seem to exist with respect to the composition of diet- induced weight loss.
