Background: Weight loss from calorie restriction (CR) and/or endurance exercise training
(EX) is cardioprotective. However CR and EX also have weight loss–independent benefits.
Objective: We tested the hypothesis that weight loss from calorie restriction and exercise
combined (CREX) improves cardiovascular disease (CVD) risk factors more so than similar
