Obesity, Exercise & Men: Sex Differences in Weight Loss
1. Obesity, Exercise & Men
Professor Philip Morgan
Priority Research Centre in Physical Activity and Nutrition
University of Newcastle
2. Background
2
• “Over the last 30 years, the average male BMI of Australasian men is
increasing faster than for men in almost all other high-income countries.”
(Finucane et al. 2011, Lancet)
•
•
•
•
70% overweight/obese
95% inadequate F & V intake
<50% sufficiently active
20hrs p/wk screen time
ABS (2013)
3. Exercise and weight loss: sex differences?
• Sex-specific hormonal, metabolic (> kJ burnt), & appetite
responses to PA
• Gender-specific recommendations?

Hagobian et al. (2010) Exerc Sport Sci Rev 38(1): 25-30
Engaging men in PA and weight loss
• Prefer to control weight through exercise (Kiefer et al., 2005): seek
‘masculine’ activities (Lewis et al., 2011)
• Need for targeted interventions – weight control as motivator
(Aoun et al., 2002). Programs have not appealed (Pagoto et al. 2012, Obesity)
• Evidence for male-only programs is limited
(Young et al. 2012, Obes Rev; George et al., 2012, Sports Med)

9. Findings
• Dads experienced improvements in health outcomes
(weight, waist, RHR, SBP, PA, dietary), maintained at 6-mth
follow up
• Behavioural changes (diet & PA) & reduced adiposity (BMIz) in children
PA improvement explanation:
• Dads: PA mediated weight loss
• Children: Co-PA mediated PA
