AI Summary

Seven days of strength training increased visceral fat burning in obese mice, according to a study at the State University of Campinas (UNICAMP). Researchers found that the short training period activated mechanisms involved in fat breakdown. The exercise also reduced fat cell size and decreased fat around the animals’ intestines. No weight loss was observed on a scale during the week of training. The findings suggest that strength training can begin to shrink fat cells before measurable weight loss occurs.
