Thorogood et al These researchers looked at all the trials on aerobic exercise ( 14 studies involving 1847 participants). The average weight loss after 6 months was 1.6kg (3.5lbs) and after one year was 1.7kg (3.74lbs) The researchers concluded that Our results show that isolated aerobic exercise is not an effective weight loss therapy although it may still be an effective weight loss therapy in conjunction with diets
